Find Ancestors

Thanks to everyone who has provided me with assistance in tracing my Billington relatives.
The next thing I am searching for relates to Jessie Bilington. She was the daughter of Samuel Billington & Annie Staite and she was born in Wales, emigrating to Canada with the rest of her family in 1927.
Family information is that Jessie never married and served as a nurse during World War 2. Neither side of the family have any documentation relating to her service & it appears that there isn't even a photograph of her.
Can anyone help? :-)

I've moved onto the Canadian branch of the family now and am trying to locate Alisa Anne Billington. She was born in 1965 and her parents were William Earl Billington & Joanne Stone. We understand that her married name was Hill(s) but have been lead to believe that this marriage was disolved. Her Mother died in 2005. Can anyone help?

All very informative & definitely our family. It lead us to Samuels descendants in Canada and a whole lot more questions that they are working to answer.
We have traced Mary-Jane through 3 more marriages to her death in 1926 at Bridgend in Wales. Colourful Lady! :-D

I guess the other information was of no use?

Interesting article about Mary Jane & John Hawthorne. Is there any information as to his sentence from the Assizes?

(is below Jane?, she has same Mother Maiden Name Thomas, as Samuel 1881)


(not getting the 'Hicks' bit?)

I am trying to locate the descendants of Samuel Billington & Annie Staite. Samuel was born in Stoke on Trent but in 1926 he was residing in Glamorganshire Wales. His stepmother, Mary Jane Hicks died in that year so I'm not sure if he stayed in Wales or returned to Stoke on Trent. His half sister, Jane Billington (Whitmore) was my maternal Great Grandmother through her youngest son Samuel Thomas Whitmore.

Charles' mother was called Mary. Evidence from a document a relative has.

thanxs andrew and everyone for the info.
l always thought charles dad was named Henry Billington and l am sure is mom is named Sarah hand maybe l was wrong is there any way of finding out 100% if they are right

There are these marrige records which may be relevant. Again there is no proof either are connected to your family.
