Not only fainted but totally overwhelmed. Just going to print it all off so that I can sort through it.

Tell you what though, I certainly won't be taking all the credit for this when I let my friend see it. I'll tell him all about the good folk on this site.


Well, some are okay anyway.


slap.



Thanks so much. Cx

Search party required please.

1891 entry.

DAVIES, Edward Head Married M 34 1857 Coal Miner
Buckley
Flintshire


He married in 1889 (age 32 bachelor)and his father is given as James Davies ...Brickmaker ..(Deceased)

I have everything after his marriage and everything on his wife Isabella before and after marriage.

I can not find him anywhere for sure prior to 1891.

Any offers please?

If Buckley was his birthplace, then it's near to Mold

Could this be him ?

Of course Flint and Cheshire are often mixed on census as they are borderline.
They just gave him and other children Buckley Flint to make it easier for census I think and they consider themselves in Flint no matter what the borders are said to be by govenment.

What do you think of this lot then?

This is Gladys Priscilla Godfreys father.
But as you can see she is not on it.
There is also another child (unknown)missing as he says he has 6 children born and living.

I have searched and failed to find her.

I have also failed to find her parents marriage.
Father Francis Godfrey
Mother Lily Peffen??gell as per her birth cert.

All I get is this,in the right place at the right time though.

Marriages Jun 1899
Allin Lily St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 1041
Godfrey Francis St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 1041
Greenleaf Lily St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 1041
Lambert Arthur Ernest St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 1041

Definately GELL on the end for mothers maiden name on birth cert ,but what the rest is supposed to be I dont really know as the writing is diabolical.

I would have thought she was a little young to have been widowed and remarried and it has no other name on birth cert for her other than ??Gell

And his Chelsea pensioner records say he married Martha (nee Gaff) in 1879 in Guildford.

Which he did

Marriages Sep 1879
GAFF Martha Guildford 2a 122
GREENLEAF George Guildford 2a 122

So who is Lily then???
And who are her parents and where is her birth reg??

This side of the tree is worse than the other side,and I havent got past his grandad that side in 3 months !

I now know why he bartered his tree for the work of my porch refurb,looks as though he wont have to do it as I dont think I can do this !

"Mother Lily Peffen??gell as per her birth cert."

I was offering a suggestion for mother's birth name.

TT instead of FF

Pettingale
Pettingell
Pettengell

amongst other things.
