oops did I get the wrong marriage?

Thanks Mary, that makes sense.

I'm not on Ancestry (yet?) but maybe there's a tree on GR now that I have a lot more background.

Thanks you all once again, this has been a great start.

Doubt that marriage I posted was correct as it was JUN Q 1868

KeithG Report 24 Feb 2012 22:36

Mmm.. I'm losing the plot here.

Maria Owen had two children before marrying George Brackenbury in 1868. They retained their surnames.

Emma married Elias Billinger.

Harriet ...?

Then we have two young Owenses, Harry 1908 with the Billingers and "my" Gladys 1906 with the Brackenburys. Possibly both children of Harriet?

Keith, I posted a possible marriage of Harriet, it should be on pg 1, she died in 1899, if it's correct.

KeithG

KeithG Report 24 Feb 2012 23:03

Yes, LiverBird, I saw that, thank you. I had difficulty sorting it out tho'. Specifically this bit from the 1901:

Elias Billinger 38
Emma A W O Billinger 86

But Emma is given as spouse of Elias which seems a little unlikely.

And, if those records are correct / relevant, where does a Gladys Owen fit? What am I missing here?

Keith

LiverBird1 Report 24 Feb 2012 23:24

Emma A W owen Billinger 86, wrongly transtribed should be 36 error in the birth yr has 1815 should be 1865, look at the very top on the census.

Don't know who Glady's parents are?? or Harry Owen who is the grandson of Emma in 1911??

I guess you'll have to buy b/certs, sorry. :-(

That could explain a) why they are both the same age on the 1871, and b) why Harriett is shown as Nurse Child and Emma as Step Child.



Could Ann be Maria's sister?????

What a great piece of detective wotk! Thank you very much Sylvia.

The 1851 - you say: ????????????? Maria and Ann with parents in 1851

But where's Ezekiel's wife? Suggests Emma died between 1845-51?

There's also some confusion over the Ann / Anne spellings, I need to draw this to make sense of it. It certainly looks as if one of them died very young - but which?

how does Holbeach fit with Horncastle?

They are about 40-50 km apart, north and south of Boston, so not impossible? Died while travelling? No, I think I'm trying too hard. This Ann was born and died in 1842, the other two were 1841 & 43.

I think there's a misisng generation between Maria Owen 1844 and Gladys Owen (Cowlam) 1906 and I don't have a candidate yet. Maybe I need to go through this all again ...

Thanks Mary. The children born before marriage seem to be the key here, finding them all may be a challenge! Of course the one I really wnt to find is Gladys ...

This is a great help, thanks!

Mary Report 25 Feb 2012 15:22

It seems possible that Alice Owen 1888 is the mum of Harry and Gladys,but you would need the birth cert of Gladys to confirm.

Do you have the marriage cert for Gladys?

There is someone on here with Alice Owen 1887 born Scrivelsby,maybe you should try and contact them to see if they have any info as to her being the mum of Harry or Gladys.
