An Isaac Reeve of the right age and in the right place on 1871...So maybe him...But his marriage cert to Jane Spurr is needed for proof here....


REEVE, Joseph Head M 41 1830 Nottinghamshire
REEVE, Harriet Wife F 27 1844 Nottinghamshire
REEVE, Isaac Son M 9 1862 Derbyshire
MASON, Sarah Daughter F 7 1864 Nottinghamshire

On 1881 he is in Nottinghamshire with father Joseph who is a widower by then..

1881 for Jane I have a sneaky feeling...Right age ,right place and right birth and year place...And she is not on 1891.....Now how do I connect Jane Spurr to Elizabeth Reeve as her mother??

Aha...Like this I think....

Marriages Dec 1882
Reeve Isaac Sheffield 9c 695
SPURR Jane Sheffield 9c 695

Deaths Mar 1885

Still cant find Thomas Weaver marrying Jane though...


Not quite the Edwards I started out with...But got so carried away with sorting that one out I couldnt help myself but carry on.. :D

Hmmmm...Here is Elizabeth ann with brother Thomas Edwin mother Jane and father Thomas Weaver plus other siblings that I presume are half siblings...on 1901,so looks like Thomas Weaver on 1911 was her stepfather..

Still looking for a marriage for Thomas and Jane after Elizabeth Ann was born.....But at the mo not finding a Reeve/s-Weaver one...


Elizabeths birth I think?

Births Jun 1885
Reeve Elizabeth Ann Sheffield 9c 585

In 1881 (which is free to search)the Weaver family have an Edwards visitor in the household..

No hope of finding parents for him without at least his fathers name and a guide of his year of birth and maybe place of birth...
William Thomas Edwards are 10 a penny.......
Even the Fan......tastic /FBG can get nowhere without those Im sorry.. :S

Now that one is difficult...
For that one to get off the ground you will need his marriage cert if you dont have his birth details I am afraid...

Marriages Dec 1931
Edwards William T Ganderton Rotherham 9c 1613
Ganderton Edith Edwards Rotherham 9c 1613


Do you have his death details at all?
Miracles we can do...The impossible is harder I am afraid...

There are quite a few Ganderton records, including the family above.
