Find Ancestors

( I DONT KNOW ANY REAL FAMILY ON MY DADS SIDE AS HE WAS ADOPTED) so getting to know my mothers side is just a bit more important to me.Have a great evening,im logging off and im going to actually sit on my hands to stop me logging straight back on!! nite nite xx

Looking at the tree on Ancestry, Rosina was wife no 1 and Matilda wife no 2 as someone said previously. Also Richard's grandfather was from Cork in Ireland.

Here's a possible marriage for Annie: it would make her 16 at the time but it's the only Annie Hartnett with no middle name. Circumstantial as we don't know if she actually married.

Annie Hartnett
Spouse Surname: James A Littlejohn
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1937
Registration district: Chelsea
Registration county: Middlesex
Volume Number: 1a
Page Number: 965

i live in kent,20 mins from london,thanks for all this help you have given me ,its great.

im finding it hard to keep up xx

Do you have Ancestry?

Are you in/near London cos you might be able to find out more at the London Metropolitan Archives. They have school admission registers -amongst other things- which I have found very useful in the past.

Janice

janice, i never knew any of them,im excited that my nan,ethel had a brother,im going to see if i can find anything on him as i must have relations out there somewhere!!!

Here's Matilda's marriage:

Matilda H Hartnett
Spouse Surname: Samuel C Hoare
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1938
Registration district: Deptford
Registration county: London
Volume Number: 1d
Page Number: 1040

There's a death which fits Samuel in 1969 registered Greenwich district.

Did you know any of the siblings or just your gran?

it makes me wonder why they never talked about the family,it must have been terrible to lose a daughter in her prime,she must have been a real looker as my grandmother would say,my grandmother was a stunning looking lady her self when she was young,so margaret must have been too.
