Hi Tracey, This may not be a problem to you but I have been stuck for some time on this. I cannot find the parents of David Gill (incorrectly given as Bard Tin in early census) He was born c 1809 in Bedfordshire (I think) and on 1st May 1836 when he married Rebecca Allen b. 1816 he was living in Paddington Mx. Married at St. John the Evangelist Paddington. In 1851 census he was described as a greengrocer. The only child I can find of this marriage is George Thomas Gill. Any info would be great. Regards Vivienne : :-|

Perhaps you can help, trying to find more info on my great grandad Robert Thompson - Horan born in Ireland c1858 father Michael . First found him on the 1881 census in Preston Lancashire, have traced him to his death in 1944 Ambleside Cumbria but can't seem to be able to find anything prior to the 1881 census, presuming he came over just before if not 1881. anyhelp gratefully received.

OK here goes, I have been trying to trace my Great grandfathers parents but having no luck
MY gt grandfather Robert Horan c1858 in Ireland was on the Lancashire 1881 census and married a Catherine Finn in 1881, on the marriage certificate it states Roberts father as Michael Horan deceased, we presume he died in Ireland but up to now no luck with that, can't find out Michaels wifes name so really struggling
any help would be gratefully recieved.

Cliffette,

She'd have been registered as Appleton because that was Annie legal name at the time. Remembering illegitimate children were frowned up.

I would wager that Elsie's mariage cert states Richard as her father... Elsie probably just didn't do the math? I suppose unless you ask direct questions you just don't realise the truth is there to be seen....

.... i would wager Frederick might not be Elsie's father and that Annie might have had a liason with someone else? Annie didn't marry Frederick for 2 more years, why wait so long when your pregnant with your prospective husbands child?

It's possible only Annie knew the truth?

i'm not too sure where this Morris guy comes into it, memories can sometimes gets confused?

I would wager this is Elsie...

This death matches both the married name and her birth year??

Cliffette,

So Elsie and Alice are not full siblings then?

I wonder who is Elsie's father? Could it be Frederick afterall?

Even if Elsie was born at the beginning of the 3rd Qtr, or the end of the 2nd (and registered in the 3rd) The pregnancy would still have been a year long!

Even if he got his wife pregnant immediately before he died, the earliest she could give birth and register a child that would slot into the Sept Qtr is Middle of May (allowing for the 6 weeks grace to register)! that's most def more than 9 months after 25th June 1891 !!
