Hi Tracy Do you think you could have a look on 1871 please for Thomas and Elizabeth Overman, they are in Maulden, Beds in 1861, Thomas age 53, farmer born Maulden and Elizabeth born Burnham Sutton age 53 (in 1871) They had children Edward 25, Arthur 24, Emma 22, Robert 21,William 20 Thomas 18 and Margaret 13 (in 1871 all born Maulden. Thank you Tracey

Just found the 1878 one dying in 1879 :( He might've been the son of another Herbert, born 1845 in Newcastle, Staffs.

Thank you for that Tracy. I'll have to buy the certificate to answer my nosiness and find out whose son he was. Thank you for your help.

Gwyneth, there is another Herbert in 1878, but I can only find ones born in Manchester on the 1901 census. The 1878 one was regittered in Wolstanton.

Helen, I haven't found any marrying Williams. That's not to say they didn't, just not within my scope. There is nothing to say that any of them did marry Williams and their name is quite common, so I'm looking for a possibly non-existant needle in a haystack.

Cliff, I found a Robert in 1901, but it says his father is Fred? I also found a household with father William, son William and daughter Margaret, but no Robert. What are William and Roberts occupations?

Tracey Please may I ask for more help? I've seen a marriage listed on freebmd for Herbert Bowers SKERRETT in Dec Q. 1908 in Upton. This is not far from the area where I am researching SKERRETTs who have distant connections with BOWERS.(ie. in Herefordshire) I can't find a Herbert being born in that area ( I do know of ones just Herbert b. 1837 and 1885) with that middle name. I can't find a suitable one in 1901 either. (The Ullingswick one is mine and accounted for) Can you help please?

Colette, Marriage Jun 1906 Kilvert Samuel Allan Pratt Emily Warwick 6d 1305 I also found this... she might be yours... Birth Mar 1916 Pratt Kathleen E A Baylis Foleshill 6d 1190

Nicola, I just found this... Births Mar 1874 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Price Laura Paulina Bedminster 5c 706

Thanks Tracey yes i have Emily in 1901 single and working as a housemaid in Castle Green Kenilworth aged 30, this is why i was made up i found her married name Kilvert. Where the family were living in 1900 i have a page from a directory and there was an Alan Kilvert with same address Clifton Cottage so maybe he was renting one of the rooms in cottage, and this is how they met he was from Worcestershire and i believe had come to Kenilworth to stay with an uncle who lived in same road. full name Samuel Alan Kilvert, no marriage on Free BMD but will check again as its been a while since i looked. Talk about being a detective can you check for marriages ??? i mean cross referencing surnames. I would love to think that at least one of Grt Grandads siblings had children especialy Edward Joseph Pratt & Ellen Bayliss as he was killed in WW1 they married in 1904 you see. I keep looking on the genes names but never a match. According to the local newspaper in Kenilworth when Edward Joseph's death was reported they said he was a fine specimen of manhood and stood 6ft 2, isnt that lovely, carnt find him in 1901 i recon hes away with the royal warwickshire reg somewhere. Thanks for Stanley god love him he ended up with a nagging wife and moved to Gosport, another thing thats interesting is Stanleys son had spondelitus (disease of spine) my Grandad Walter his brother had a son who also had this and my 3 x Grt Grandads death cert in 1855 says death disease of spine, hes the father of Edwin who fell outta bed and died due to the bang on his head. Doesnt it all tie together. Sorry to go on and on haaaaaaaaaa. Anyway if you need help in Liverpool let me know. Colette

Nicola, in 1871, she is down as Bertha M Price. Still no clue as to why yet. I'll keep searching.

Diane, William is with son Thomas in Ystradyfodwg, Glamorgan. The others are in West Ham Pannell, Betsy abt 1838 Leamington, Warwickshire, England Head West Ham Essex Pannell, Wm abt 1859 Canning Town, Essex, England Son West Ham Essex Pannell, Fredk abt 1865 I of Dogs, Middlesex, England Son West Ham Essex Pannell, Albert abt 1872 Canning Town, Essex, England Son West Ham Essex Pannell, Emily abt 1874 Canning Town, Essex, England Daughter West Ham Essex

Colette, the last one showing up in West Derby was Stanley, Dec 1917. Whoever told you about the 4 kids might not have included those who died. I would think that if Emily did have kids, they would have been in the 20 yrs before 1910. Have you got her in 1901?

Thanks for that advice Tracy. Love Belle.

Hi Tracy, I'd love it if you could shed any light on these. Bertha Melinda Parr my g grandmother b 1854/58 . I can find her on 1881 (tho mistranscribed as Martha) with her parents Robert and Martha and daughter Laura Pauline (who was illegitimate and refused ever to talk about her early life to her sisters ,who she brought up after their mother died)) in Weston, Somerset On my grandmother's birth certificate Oct 1885 she is shown as Bertha Perry formerly Price. Husband William Perry. In 1891 she is in Bristol with her 3 other daughters Lillian, Beatrice and Ivy. She died in 1892. I can't find any record of her birth or Laura's, nor a marriage, and have no idea where Price came from. Thanks so much for your offer of help. Regards Nicky

Thanks for not forgetting me Tracy henry is proving a real pain in the**** In fact I can't find his father either in 71 census where did they go? Cheers Kaz
