Ginny the 1891 census i think isnt the right family as searched for Ruby listed on there born in Inverness and found its a dfferent Spankie family

Ann says he wasnt with the famiy living in Bedford

Hi All,
I have been barking up the wrong tree.
What would we all do without you to help us when we hit that brick wall.
Thank you one and all.
Regards,
Ann

Oooh hang on. The will I posted for Catherine has Ruby as a widow so she would have been the daughter inlaw

Shirley he isnt with the family on the censuses

Ann keep posted I think we might need you

I'll come back to this!

I'll leave you to digest this info and work out if this is your family or not.

Hi Ginny
Thank you for this info,
It is the father I am after I thought with knowing the childwould give you more info about the family.
Regards,
Ann.

Where have you got the info for Catherine Margarets marriage? Shirley couldnt find anything on SP

The name McAndrew appears on the census I posted but she is NOT Catherines mother she is her Aunt

Have you assumed she had the maiden name McAndrew??


Edit There is only one Ruby Spankie on the censuses so I think Shirley has got the correct parents

We just need you to tell us where you got Catherines maiden name from please

Hi Ginny,
I have assumed. It is probably Jenkins.
Ann.

Ann

10 lashes for you my girl ;)


So we have the correct family then?

Right what else do you want to find out now...be specific or you'll get 20 lashes!

Hi Ginny,
This is not the first time you have helped me out.
Would you like to come and live with us, then I wouldn't get headaches.
Many thanks,
Ann.

You can just send me cash in a brown envelope!!

This is from a tree on Ancestry


Catherine M Jenkins

Birth: 18 Feb 1858 - Inverness, Inverness-Shire, Scotland
Marriage: 03 Nov 1879 (3 Nov 1879) - Dharmsalwala, Punjab, Pakistan
Death: 03 Feb 1941 (3 Feb 1941) - Bedford, Bedfordshire, England
Parents: Charles Vernon Jenkins, Catherine MacAndrew
Spouse: John Patrick Walter Spankie

So Catherine's mothers maiden name was McAndrew

Hi Ginny,
I wish I had your brain, since retiring mine has gone to sleep, probably because I had to use it a lot in my job.
Regards,Ann.

BUT Catherine Margaret Spankie nee Jenkins was married to John Patrick Walter Spankie not Gilbert ???

so its the right family?? wrong fathers name ??
should be John Patrick Walter Spankie spouse Catherine Margaret Jenkins ??

Catherine was also born in India according to Ruby Mary's birth record.
I did take a look at it so probably can download as I paid for it if you want it
