Hi Kirsty

Please could you try and find sisters Lucy Sampson born 1867c & Lydia
born 1869c on the 1871 census.

In 1881 they are thgether with another sister Alice born 1874c, living with an Aunt Sarah-Ann Andrews at Eltham Kent.

And in 1891 the younger one Alice is with William Andrew at Lewisham.

They were all born in Kent at either Deptford or Lewisham, and i would i
like to know the name of their Mum.

thank you Debbie

Debbie Report 21 Feb 2009 19:52

Hi Kirsty

Thanks for looking for the Sampson girls, im not sure about the 1871
census. If im right her Mother's name should be Lydia Louisa or Ann.

sisters of sarah-Ann Andrews, the first one for her was right but not the
second as she never married.

and i have no idea whats going on with the Ancestry correction as Alice
wasnt one of williams daughters.

Lucy Lydia and Alice seen to have appeared out of thin air lol. i just cant
find a marriage between a Lydia Louisa or Ann andrews born at
Rendham Suffolk and married to a Mr Sampson.

thanks for looking for me Debbie

Hi Kirsty,
I would be very grateful for a look up on the 1871 census please.
I have John Miles aged about 27 born Cwmavon, Glamorgan, Wales.
Eliza Miles aged about 28 born Brecknock, Wales.
Possibly this child William H Miles aged about 1 month as he was born march qtr.in 1871 at New Tredegar, Wales.
I would think they are in the Tredegar area of Monmouth, England.
I have them on the 1881 census
Living at 9 Upper Brick Row in Margam, Glamorganshire, Wales.
John aged 37, with wife Eliza aged 38, William H aged 10, John aged 7 and Matilda aged 5. All the children were born in New Tredegar.
I'm afraid this is all the information I have on them all as John died in 1883.
Many thanks if you can help. Brenda.
