Her son Wilfred Peach Chambers was born 28/10/1891, at this time she lived at 26 Vassall Road, Brixton, Surrey. Sarah, Sarah A, and Sarah Annie seem to resemble John Smith!! There are so many. I'm sorry I don't know where she was born, or when. She is my grt-grt-gran, and her son's birth certificate lists no father, so I don't know if this was her married name, so I'm very stuck. It also says she was a waitress. I am hoping she was a local girl. The family are all from South London and Surrey since then too, which makes me think she is local. Thank you very much in advance, Debbi

hi pen thanks a million for the detective work. it has opened up a new avenue of research ;) enjoy the 'good life' and the piggies. and try not to get TOO attached. thanks again. scott

Hi again Pen l know you must be strong and when grim reaper comes to call make sure your not home lol. Hubby says can you send him a couple of trotters - attached to the body!! You might even get into pig family history lol You are soooooo lucky. All the best in your new venture Pam xx

Hi Frank It's nice when those wall's crumble down, lol. I shall keep coming back to it, we shall get them in the end, lol. Will PM you WHEN I get more (ever the optimist) Pen x

Hi Pen. Your a star This looks like Alice and Ann these are my gg aunties how sad. thats another brickwall gone only ten more to go lol. thanks for your hard work on this cheers Frank

Hi Pam, Yep piggies for eating !! I must admit I am a little worried about the 'grim reaper bit'....but have told myself not to give them names. It's gonna be a costly mistake if we keep them as pets. Pig poo for the garden and them munching down in the orchard, keeping it clear would be good though, lol. Pen x

Hi Pen Ahhh pigs, your not going to eat them are you? My husband wanted to keep pigs years ago but he knew they'd never get to market with me about lol Anyway sorry l delayed their new home being sorted. l think l'll give up on those 2 for a while. Thomas says he was born abt 1841 at Lower Gornal. Maybe the family had moved on like my Powney lot they were everywhere, no wonder we used to have itchy feet. l suppose they went where the work was. Thanks anyway Pen. Sorry it was a waste of time. Good luck with the new additions. Best wishes Pam

Hi Pen many thanks for the MILLS info, it hopefully will come in handy later. It's the son Charles E(edward) Mills I am desperate to find , possibly married (Louise) & had child Albert Edward Mills bc1898 If you have time for another quick look would really appreciate it best regards Karen

Hi Pen, I was wondering if you could do a look up for me in the 1871 census please?It's for John Walker,he was born about 1844 in Bedlington,Northumberland.Sorry,I don't have his parent's names, Thanks very much, Wendy

Hi Pen Sorry l didn't reply earlier but l went offline last night and have only just signed in. l don't have Joseph's parentage but wonder if he was a Manxman and that's why he and Lydia went over there shortly after their marriage? Looks like another trail gone cold. lf it's ok can l ask for another look up please on the 1851 Lower Gornal. Staffs. Thomas Hopson aged abt 10 years. Hopefully he's at home with his family and not a servant or something lol. Thanks in advance Pam

Hi Pen I would be ever so grateful if you could look up on the 1891 and 1901 census for me for the following: My GGG grandparents John and Eliza Marchant, from Hollington, East Sussex. John, a brickmaker, was born 1844 in Ore, Sussex and Eliza was born 1842 in Westfield, Sussex. Their children were Sarah b1864, Henry b1866, Charlotte b1867, George b1870, Christiana b1874, Alfred b1877, Frederick b1878 and Gertrude b1880. On the 1881 census they are listed at 4 Ashbrook Cottages, Hollington. Any further details on this branch of my family would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Jo Read
