Member Since: February 2009 Posts: 60 Send Message	I am trying to find information about Annie Merrick, all i Know is that she married twice and had around 12 children. A Lucy, Tom and a Georgina Jones and a Fanny and an Albert Whittle. I would like to know what the rest of her children were called. Thanks. Holly.

Member Since: February 2009 Posts: 60 Send Message	Around 1861, Lucy was born in Shropshire. Holly.

	This one's very difficult without more info. Do you know when or where Annie was born? Did she marry Jones first or Whittle? Do you have the family on any census? 1881 is free.

Member Since: February 2009 Posts: 60 Send Message	She was born in 1861, she married Jones first, then Whittle, she had her last child with Jones in 1895. Holly.

	Well, that makes a difference! In your previous reply you said "Around 1861, Lucy was born in Shropshire" So I was looking for Lucy Jones born 1861, Shropshire.

Member Since: February 2009 Posts: 60 Send Message	I'm not sure because in 1901 she would of had a 6 year old girl called Bertha(Lucy), who is my Nans mom. I don't really know much information, as my Nan has just told me little bits about her, as i don't think she(my nan) knew her very well. Thanks. Holly.

	I can't find a Bertha or Lucy Whittle born around 1895, Shropshire. Also can't find one on the 1901 census who's the youngest child in a family. It's a puzzle!

Member Since: February 2009 Posts: 60 Send Message	It was a Bertha Jones. Sorry if i am confusing you. Holly.
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 23,482 Send Message	MargaretM	Report	9 May 2009 14:14
	Sorry, my fault, Holly! I misread the one that said her last child WITH JONES was 1895. So, she married Whittle after that?

Member Since: February 2009 Posts: 60 Send Message	I don't really know much. But this is what I know: Annie was born around 1861-this is what my nan told me but i havent looked at any birth certificates. She married a Jones, and had a Tom, Lucy(DOB 1895) and a Georgina. Then she married a Whittle and had Fanny and Albert. I also know that she had about 12 children but I don't know anything about them- which i would like to know! Holly.
