Find Ancestors

Ann Sallis is on my tree but with a question mark, most of my info came from my 2nd cousin as he has the same info,

Thanks for you help everyone x

HI Angela,
What is the last "positive" bit of information you have on this family?

A child to William and Ann etc....anything so we can make sure we can find the 'right' people..

Kellie

There is a tree on Ancestry That has a William Key 1827 married to an Ann Wilson.

There must be something wrong somewhere for any of us not to find any info you are giving us.

Can you please let us know what your grandfathers name was and year of birth and occupation.

I have no birth certificates for them

Hi Angela,
That's OK but who is the last person in your tree that you have proof of???

Kellie

If William c1826 is your 3 x gt grandad who was your 2 x gt grandad? Or even your grandad?

You must have some idea. We cannot help properly if you don't give us something concrete to go on.

It is not often that all the helpers are stumped but we have to get to know the families first by occupations and siblings and so on.

Afterall we are working blind as we don't have your tree to look at and can only go by what you tell us.

We are all very willing to help you but we must have some definate fact somewhere down the line to work from.

Hi All
Please have a look at the original for this 1881 census I have a feeling this is where the Sallis has come from. I think it is the same family as 1871 census.

It could well be that William Key 1801 was not from York. People who lived in a town or village did'nt get parish relief if they came from another place. In some cases those who said they were from a certain village and fell on hard times were sent back to where they did come from.You only got Parish Relief if you were from that area of the church. Others just put the last place they came from and not where they were actually born.

I am still interested to know where your cousin got the name of Ann Sallis from? There are only a couple of people with that name anyway.

This could be William's death
Deaths Mar 1879 (>99%)

Are good find Barbara.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ellen the sister is down as born Yorkshire but it dos'nt say if she is married, widowed or what! Could that also be Tallis???????????????

Hi Mel
It could be Tallis or Fallis.
I have come to a full stop now we really do need Angela's grandparents names to really do this justice but it is very gripping I would love to find the outcome. I hate a mystery
Regards
Barbara

Angela, it might be easier for people to help, if you entered a small family tree with later relatives, so that helpers can work out for themselves where you have found your information, together with the proof of information -jl

I wrote this to Angela and then got this reply.

Hi Angela,

Can you at least give us your grandfathers name and year of birth please, and where he was born. We can then try and trace him back for you. It would give us a better picture of where we are going.

Mel

Her reply

Hi Mell I did that in my first message, it is William Key, 1801 born in York, William is my 4 x grandad, if this is the one you mean, this is the one I am trying to trace his parents, his wife is Sarah b/ about 1811
Angie

I child of this family had died 4 living.

Angie I think you need to buy this certificate and see who William's father was and his occupation. It will also tell you if William was single on his marriage as there is a child Charles who is down as son before they married.He was 13 years older than Ann too. I cannot find an Ann Wilson born 1839 Yorkshire but on one census she says she was born in Ireland. It will also tell you her fathers name and occupation hopefully. I cannot find an Ellen Sallis, Tallis, Fallis on any other census but if she is Ann's sister she too could have been married as there was nothing on the census we found her on to give us any indication whether married widowed or single.

I also see you have a tree on Ancestry.

I have been in touch with Angie for most of the week. She now has her 2 x gt grandad's birth cert and told me that it said the mother was Ann Key late teens formerly Wright. We worked out that Ann would have been 34 when she had John Key 1873 so I asked her to send it to me. she did so today and I think Ann was married to a Tears and had the first child and possibly the second by him. I found a marriage of a Charles John Tears to an Ann Wright in 1860 I think but I can't for the life of me find the hubby Charles John Tears on any census or in the death records.
