Find Ancestors

Hi! I hope someone can help me!

I'm trying to find any information at all on my Great Grandmother Adelaide M Wilson b1878 in Marylebone London from what I can gather. She first married Frederick Anders a police inspector, in 1898 in Paddington and I think she had 2 daughters, but then she went on to marry my Great Grandfather William Dismon in 1915 in Islington London. They had 3 children - Rose Julia in 1913, Dorothy Alice in 1920 and William in 1922.

From her birth certificate her father as John Wilson and he is listed as a Roadsweeper born in 1830.

I have no other information at all as my Grandmother Dorothy said she was an awful woman and had no contact with her after she met my Grandfather in her teens.

I hope someone somewhere reads this and can shed some light as I have no loving relatives past my aunties to ask.

If you need any further info let me know!

Hope to hear from someone! :)

Hi yes, I've got this information thank you :) I'm trying to find if she had another daughter with Frederick, all I know is that her name was Polly.

I'm trying to find information more on Adelaide's family - her parents and siblings etc...

Thanks! :)

I think that the full 1911 census also tells you how many children ... alive and deceased

Yeah that's where I'm stuck, although I have found another member's post from 2005 that seems to fit ith more children so I've messaged her about that.

Can anyone shed some light on her parents at all?

Really quick way to find out whether there were more children to the marriage.

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

Search for births with surname ANDERS and mother's surname WILSON.

There are two with those names after 1911 (when mother's surname started to be included in the index). Oops. One of them, 1913, you know, and not a child of the marriage. ;) (The other is in Lancashire.)

So if they didn't have another child after 1911 and there isn't another daughter in the household in 1911 ... ?


Bu the way -- "yes, I've got this information thank you" -- the information you gave was incomplete, then, because you didn't give daughter Elsie's name and you didn't mention Frederick, so there was no reason to think you knew them, and jax went looking and "found" them for you.

If you had that info you did'nt mention she had a son, and you may have it but we do not so it is easier to trace back by having some solid facts to go by

jax

You said John Wilson was her father from her birth cert. Who was her mother?

Rose

Shed any light on her parents? Adelaide's? Have you got her marriage certificate / birth certificate?

Ah, Rose has answered that question.

I don't know what's happening tonight.

If people want other people to help them find information, ***give the information you have*** !!!!!

Do not make / expect strangers to go hunting for what **you know**.



Could you give us the link to this other thread about a Polly, please, so we can see what that is too, and not just remain in the dark about what you're talking about.

Sorry this is my first time using the genes reunited forums, so apologies if I haven't given all the correct information.

Unfortunately I don't really know much about this side of the family, as I said my grandmother didn't have anything to do with her and she died when I was 7.

Re the Polly name - this is what my mother's cousin gave me, apparently she remembers the daughter Elsie and another Polly visiting my Grandmother and Great aunty when they were young but that's all I know.

As for Adelaide's mother I think I might have my wires crossed I think I got that from a census result, my apologies again, but he was listed as a Roadsweeper, I can't get to that information at this moment in time as my mother's away and has that.

Also I'll try that link JaneyCanuck thanks.

Great advice so far, sorry if I'm causing any problems! Not intended! Just grateful for any help on this side!

Thanks for that bit of info! I'll note that down!

"I have found another member's post from 2005 that seems to fit ith more children so I've messaged her about that."

First, the likelihood that you'll reach that member is minimal. In 5+ years, most people change their email address a couple of times, and virtually nobody remembers to tell GenesReunited the new one. So the person won't receive a notice of your message. And the turnover is very high here, so it's unlikely that person is still actively checking the site.

If you sent a private message by clicking on the person's name, you can tell whether the message has been read by looking in your Sent Messages. If the envelope beside it is still purple, it hasn't been opened. (If you posted in the thread, no notice of that is sent anyway.)

Could you do what I suggested?

The URL for this thread is

-- up top in the white address line.

Can you copy the URL for the thread you're talking about into this thread?

There may be useful info there. Or there may be utter bumph that some of us could quickly discount. Unless we know what you know about that too, there's nothing we can say about it. I've tried searching the TTF board for Polly Anders, but found nothing.

Yeah I thought it as a long shot but I gave it a try anyway.

Yes I'm trying that no but my internet connection's not being too kind to me at the mo (mobile broadband dongle)

I'm starting to think this Polly Anders could be a red herring, or might be another name as I have to great aunties still alive that go by completely different names to their birth ones!

The Frederick and Elsie ones look to be 100% so I'm going to send off for their birth certs.

Finally found them:
