Hello everyone,
Well I have come accross a family mystery and its driving me mad. The story goes that my grandmother mother edna Robinette Married a Peter Hagar in watford. They had my nan in 1931 in watford. They did get divorced in 1947? in london.

The plot thickens becouse edna had a breakdown after the war and left my Nan with her father peter hagar. When peter hagar died his brother henry hagar become gaudian of my nan.

My nan had to go to court to allow her to marry and I think her mother was at the court.

What i do now is eda died at 82 in a home in norwich. My nan was vrough up by a family friend...

so i got all the information but cat find HAGOR or ROBINETte. Nan has no idear were her mum was born??

Help!! driving me nuts!
again liz

you guys are brilliant.. i think the evelyn may be right.. becouse my nan said she was called may at the nursing home and edna by everyone else! so evelyn edna M robinetter could be right!!

If she had a brother henry then you have done it!!!

Do you mean the Henry who looked after Edna when Peter died,as you said in your first post henry was the brother of Peter Hagar?

Just looked at 1911 census the M stood for Mabel in Evelyn's name.

Couldn't find Peter Hagar.

If you got credits for 1911 census it would give you the parents of evelyn /Edna if she was with them.
I would have done it for you but spent my last credit day before yesterday.

the 1911 census is separate, & ancestry will give you all census 1841 -1901 plus lots more you can get a 2 week trial it very useful & saves a fortune
