Find Ancestors

Hi Tracy, Thank you for your kind offer. I have a puzzle. I have a Caroline Rouse in my tree. I think I found the right Caroline in the 1901 census as a visitor to a Taylor household in Marylebone. She is listed as being 28, a maid, born in dover in Kent with a 6 year old daughter Alice. She married in 1914 (as Caroine Elizabeth) and her father is listed as Archibald Rouse (deceased), a private in the rifle brigade. I can't find a Caroline Rouse in free BMD that matches. I wonder if she appears in any earlier census with her father. I would be very grateful for any information Thanks, Christine

Hi Tracy, Thanks for looking for my William and Charles Pearce. You said you had found Charles Pearce bricklayer in 1851, I found him in 1861, could youplease tell me who else was at the address at the time? (Bentley Heath is near Barnett, Potters Bar but William could have gone anywhere. I find it incredible that after months of searching I still can't find a trace of him. A chap who knows the Bentley Heath area and searched for Williams birth but found no trace of it told me that I should just give up!) Thanks again Chris

Ben, I found these... Birth Mar 1920 Lewis Hilda M Short Chester Le Street 10a 1482 Birth Sep 1917 Lewis Dorothy F Short Chester Le Street.10a 922 Birth Sep 1914 Lewis Thomasina S Short Chester Le Street.10a 1286 Birth Dec 1911 Lewis Mary E Short Chester Le Street.10a 1145 There was this one as well, but I don't know if he's yours... Birth Dec 1920 Lewis Albert E Short Durham.10a 831

Tracey, I cannot find, at all, any children between 1914 and 1920 for a Joseph Wilkinson Lewis and Frances Alice (nee Short) They have Nine daughters and Two sons. I have Five of the daughters and both sons. They lived in Chester le Street, Ouston and Pelton/Pelton Fell in their lifetime. I have checked St. Mary and St. Cuthbert's Church in Chester le Street to no avail. Can you help? I haven;t tried Holy Trinity Pelton. Ben.

Valerie, do you know if they had any children?

hope I am not asking too much some have tried for me and not found them hope you can. I have a couple married in September 1869 St Pancras can not find either on either the 1871 or 1881 census have not tried any others seems pointless. Their names are John Thomas Keen and Sarah Emily Keen (nee)Sigston he was born 1850 shoreditch she was born 1851 Regents park which I think became St Pancras would appreciate it if you can find them anywhere at all it says on marriage cert he is a labourer. Thanks a lot No have not really looked for children as the name Keen is so common and not finding them on the census dont really know where to look sorry

lol! Absolutely nothing Tracy. John and Charlotte are listed as Georges parents on his death entry in Vic BD&M. George gave his birth place as Surrey on the birth entry of one of his children. Not a lot to go by. Thanks for trying anyway. Looks like it's back to the drawing board........again! Rebs x

Rebs, there wasn't a Charlotte married to a John, and there were hundreds of Johns in Surrey. Do you know anything else about him?

Kim, nothing for John yet, but I did find these births... Birth Jun 1920 Belton Violet M Hook Pancras.1b 244 Birth Dec 1917 Belton Daisy Hook Pancras.1b 110 Birth Jun 1915 Belton Ada M Hook Pancras.1b 138 Birth Dec 1912 Belton Edward Hook Pancras.1b 152 Birth Mar 1910 Belton Ada Matilda Belton Katherine Pancras 1b 79 Belton Alfred George Pancras.1b 1 Birth 3 1905 Belton Frederick Albert Pancras.1b 23 Birth 2 1905 Belton Thomas James Pancras.1b 115 Birth 2 1905 Belton Charles William Pancras.1b 26 Birth 3 1903 Belton Maud Florence Pancras.1b 58 Birth 4 1901 Belton Florence Pancras.1b 119 Birth 2 1901 Belton Maud Florence Pancras.1b 12 Birth 2 1901 Not sure which ones of the last bunch are yours.

Hi Tracy, thank you your a angel you have helped me again. have a nice day regards June

JJ, I found one born 1870 and one born 1881. Can't find any other John James' born between. Unless he wasn't registered with a middle name? Birth Sep 1874 Sells John Marylebone 1a 560 The only John Sells coming up in 1901 of the right age is the one you have.

Hi Tracey Thank you for your help. it is interesting that Sarah took her Mother's new married name. Claire
