Find Ancestors

Sorry Sandra - FMP is Findmypast. You can search by address on there which you can't on Ancestry.

I would suggest a new thread just to ask if anyone would be willing to look on FMP, but make them aware of this thread when you do so or they will become grumpy!

Good luck.

I am trying to find the family of my g.grandmother Lucy Bennett born around 1867 father John Bennett (not the Lucy Bennett born to John & Martha Bennett Simpsons Sq. Shrewsbury 1867)
On her daughters birith certificate she was named as Lucy Bennett, on her marriage certificate July 1895 she was named Louisa Bennett m to William Shotton, both give their residence at time of marriage as Bayston Hill, then on her death certificate she was named Lucy Shotton.
1871 census address John Wrights House, Church Preen living with John & Sarah Bennett she is named Louise Bennet place of birth Cardington. 1881census she is named Lucy Bennett living at the Fox Inn Ryton -servant born in Cressage, all this is if I have got the correct Lucy.
I need help to find where Lucy/Louisa/Louise as born and who her parents were - any help appreciated.

Hi Sandra I'm still loking in, nothing new to reoprt though:))

new 1891 address search

If you check the 1881 census found for Lucy born Cressage she was a servant at the Fox Inn., is this just a coincidence or is it the same place?

Christine

I saw that and we did have family in that area, The Fox Inn is about 10 miles from Cressage.

I have contacted Jenifer and I have worn my finger out look up the addresses on the Census returns for Lyth Hill & Bayston Hill - no luck so far

Nudging this because helpers are wasting their time looking over 'old ground' ...

So, what are we looking for now Rose? any ideas?

Rambling Rose - what does nudging mean?
I'm sorry if I upset anyone by trying again - now I know that the 'other' Lucy was not mine - I did explain that I had another thread on GR
Sandra

to be truthful no Marion :( there are only a finite number of Lucy/Louisa's and several with John as the father, ...the only way I can see is to get as many of the possible birth certs and see if they eliminate some of those on census...?

Nudging just means bringing the thread up to the top for others to see.

No Sandra you haven't upset anyone but being on another board really won't help ...those who are looking on there need to see what has been done here or they will (as Julie had) be searching and come up with all the same details, which won't really help you :)

not easy Rose at the name changes. I'v got a Daniel who became a Donald lol

Sandra do you know the name of any of Lucy/Lousia siblings?


* i will be back later, getting shoved off here lol*

Sorry No!!

Thats a pity.

So all you have is...
Father John Bennett
Husband William Shotton
Mother unsure?

No luck but just to let you know, I serched William Shotton in 1891 and his parents in 1881 and looked through each page of that area, just in case Lucy/ Louise or possible parents were in the same place, no joy :(
