Thanks again Lesley

I wondered about the Daisy from Bromley (goodness me that sounds like a tacky radio show phone in!) but don't think they are one in the same. What I do know is that she had 2 children called Violet May (my Grandmother) and Bertie. Now I have found a Bertie Landers born in Frindsbury in 1888, so I am wondering is 'Daisy' was the sister of this Bertie. Am off to see if I can find anything else about 'Bertie' and if he has a sister b. 1880 or there abouts.

I have ordered a copy of the marriage cert. to be certain.

I don't blame her for using Daisy though - it is a pretty name!

Thanks again

Hi Lesley,

My name is Ann and I live in Queensland, Australia. I have been doing my family tree now for a couple of years but I am stuck with this last generation of the Fishwick's.

Can you please try to do a look up for me to see who are the parents of Thomas Fishwick born 1690 in dilworth, Ribchester, Nr. Preston, Lancashire, and Thomas died in Dilworth in 1743.

I know he had two sons, Richard born 1725 my direct line, and another son Seth born 1723 in Dilworth also.

Thomas was married to Grace Kellett born about 1693 in Bolton Le Moores, Lancashire.

Any information would be appreciated. Many think's Ann Johnson (Nee Fishwick)

It states on the 1901 census that she was born in Frinsbury in c 1880

1901 England Census
about Daisy Landers
Name: Daisy Landers
Age: 21
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1880
Relation: Servant
Gender: Female
Where born: Frindsbury, Kent, England

Civil Parish: St Margaret
Ecclesiastical parish: St Peter
County/Island: Kent
Country: England

Frindsbury is in the registration district of North Aylesford or later on Strood.

I strongly suggest you buy the marriage certificate as I personally do not think this was her name - I think she just used Daisy as she liked it. It happened (none of my relatives were known by their real names and it was a shock when I found out that!!)

This will give the fathers name & occupation and also the Witnesses which normally are brothers sisters etc.

There is this one:

Births Mar 1877 (>99%)

Lander Daisy Jane Bromley 2a 384


There is this one in the 1881 census:

1881 England Census

Do you know if they named any of their children Michael or Fanny?

Hi again Lesley

I have another one for you thats proving to be a bit of a pain!

Its for Daisy Ing nee Landers.

I have found her marrying my gt. grandfather Frank in 1904 and have found her on one census (1901 I think from memory) as as servant in Frindsbury, Kent. I have searched everywhere I can think of to find her d.o.b. and can't find any record of her ever being born! There appears to be a large Landers family with children all born around the same time living in the Medway area which would sit nicely but there is no sign of any Daisy.

I have looked on IGI and found nothing, on here and found nothing and nothing on the BMD index unless I am missing the blooming obvious - and well lets just say that is a likely possibility!

Thanks again for your help

Hi Lesley,

Thanks for looking. I'm glad it's not just me being blind!

Much appreciated, Karen

Cannot find him in the 1901 census however he would have been about 16 so could easily have joined the army at 14 as a boy so you wouldn' t necessarily find him on the Census.

In 1911 census there is only one family in Greenwich with the name of Hensby your names check out.

HENSBY ADA F 1910 8 MONTHS Greenwich London
HENSBY ALICE F 1874 37 Greenwich London
HENSBY DORIS F 1908 3 Greenwich London
HENSBY EDWARD M 1871 40 Greenwich London
HENSBY GEORGE M 1904 7 Greenwich London
HENSBY RUTH F 1895 16 Greenwich London

So the parents are Edward & Alice Hensby. However no marriage match is coming up on them.

Here are the other births all in Greenwich - I suggest you get George Hensby's birth certificate to be 100%. Its the only way.

Births Mar 1904
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HENSBY George Edward Greenwich 1d 1142

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Births Dec 1907

HENSBY Doris Emily A Greenwich 1d 1024

Hi Lesley,

Please can you try and find David George Lucas on the 1901 Census. He was born 1884 in Lamberhurst, Sussex/Kent border and is not with his parents. So may be boarding somewhere? He doesn't seem to have died before 1901, that I can see. There are a couple of possible marriages after 1901 in the Outer London area. I'm hoping if we can pinpoint where he is it might give me a clue as to which marriage may be his.

Many thanks, Karen

Hello,

Is there any chance you would be able to find a George Edward Hensby b.4.12.1903 in Greenwich. His Sisters were Ada and Dorothy (we think), and he married Gladys Mary Ellen Hillman in Greenwich 28/10/1922. We are trying to go back farther than him but are hitting brick walls everywhere.
He had a son George Arthur b.17/04/1923, and two daughters Elsie and Evelyn, born approx 1933 and 1943.

There may be a connection with the Navy, and the family may have had connections in Norfolk but we have no proof of either.

Yours hopefully
Louisa
