Find Ancestors

Hi Claire, Thank you so much for finding my Baker family for me. I really do appreciate it - you're a gem!! Best wishes, Kathyx

Gillian i have just looked through 142 pages of McDermotts Dermots and Dermitts and i cannot find either of them. The only possibilities i have found are as follows Thomas McDermott born 1843c Ireland servant to the Walker family in Staffordshire Thomas McDermott born 1841c Sligo Ireland living in the Reglan Barracks in Devon Thomas McDermott born 1840c Ireland living at the citadel Barracks in Kent. I am sorry i cant find anything very positive but i have tried as best i can xx

Hello Claire Could you please try to find my rather elusive Ggrandfather by the name of Thomas McDermott b circa 1842 in Ireland From marriage cert - he maried an Amelia Banks at St Anthony's Chapel Liverpool in Oct 1870. Both residing at 7 and 8 Woodstock stret at the time of marriage. I have access to the 1881 census and can find no trace of either of them. I wonder if you could locate them in Liverpool Lancs 1n 1871. Many thanks and good luck Gillian

Hope this helps xx

ok Kathy found Ethel born 1886c South Weald, Essex as a servant to the Sheperd family. Would you like to see the details of the family?? xx I will just see if i can find her father xx

Hi Claire, Could you possibly help find the following please: 1901 Census - (probably in South Weald, Essex): ETHEL BAKER born approx 1886 (about 5 years old) SAMUEL BAKER, father, occupation Maltster I am afraid I have no further info except her marriage cert in 1907 was witnessed by WILLIAM H BAKER and RACHEL ANNIE BAKER who may also be part of the family group. Many thanks in advance, Kathyx

Hi Claire I have James in 1901 living at 16 Kingston Street, Notts, with wife Mary, son Martin and daughter Elizabeth (RG13/3170/115 p32). Nottingham Archives gave me his baptism at St Barnabas RC church on 22 May 1853 his date of birth given as 1 May 1853 parents James Brady & Elizabeth (nee Quillon) godmother Margaret Quillon (I will get his birth certificate when I come over to England in September). In the 61 and 71 census he is listed as born in Nottingham also the 1901 census. I have his marriage certificate to Mary Leighton (nee Garrican/Garvacan) in 1898 but can't find any trace of him between 71 and 98. I know Mary was his second wife but don't know who his first wife was. My grandmother Helen Brady was the daughter of James and Mary. Maybe he gave the wrong birthplace on the 81/91 census or maybe he left the country for a few years. Thank you for taking the time to have a look for me. Regards. Chris.

Hello Claire, thankyou for trying with my Richardson's. Annies dad was called James and I have him on the 1891 living at RG12/621,pg 44 Richmond,Surrey. Only Annie Maria is missing from the family along with her sister Elizabeth DOB 1854 Richmond Possibly married to somebody Larrow? Hard to read(had a daughter Edith Larrow I think on 1891 census age 3 living with grandparents James & mary Ann Richardson on ref above.)and Annie's brother George Henry DOB 1862 Richmond is also not at the family home. I have Mildred on 1901 & 1891 so please dont worry about finding her.She was boarding on 1891 and back with her Mum,Annie & her new Dad Alfred David Fruin 1901 in Richmond. Annie is the real puzzle in 1891. Many thanks for your time & help I do appreciate it. Best wishes Jenny

Hi Claire, THAT'S GREAT.....THANK YOU !!! THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THEY WENT TO LIVE IN SCOTLAND WHERE SARAH'S FAMILY WERE FROM ORIGINALLY. MUCH APPRECIATED, Margaret x

ok Margaret found Elizabeth and Srah living at 50 Swindle Street Ashton under Lyne in 1891. Let me have a look at 1901 Strange i cant find either of them on 1901 wonder what has happened to them I will check to see if there were any deaths registered. Found this in marriages Bowden, Robert 1897 December Marriages Ashton under Lyne Cheshire Lancashire Kemp, Elizabeth Ann 1897 December Marriages Ashton under Lyne Cheshire Lancashire Platt, Alice Ann 1897 December Marriages Ashton under Lyne Cheshire Lancashire RICHARDSON, Arthur 1897 December Marriages Ashton under Lyne Cheshire Lancashire I looked for an Elizabther Bowden in 1901 and found absolutely nothing but i did find an Elizabeth Ann Richardson born 1881c Oldham, Lancashire as a servant to the Nuttall family so that is a big possibility it is her. Ok now i will check deaths I cant find a death for either of them. So looks like Sarah has disappeared!! what do you think? xx

Viveka i have found an Ellen on the 1891 but born 1865c married a William with the following children William what looks to be Dorca and Charles. I think this could well be her they are living in Lacey Lane, Niton, Hampshire. If you think this is them and you would like to see the image mail me you address. Ill just have a look for her on 1901 Found that same family again with a few more additions Ada M Edmunds abt 1894 Isle of Wight, Ventnor Daughter Sandown Hampshire Arthur E C Edmunds abt 1897 Isle of Wight, Shanklin Son Sandown Hampshire Charles W Edmunds abt 1891 Isle of Wight, Niton Son Sandown Hampshire Dorcas H Edmunds abt 1888 Isle of Wight, Niton Daughter Sandown Hampshire Ellen Edmunds abt 1863 Isle of Wight, Shanklin Wife Sandown Hampshire Jane Edmunds abt 1839 Isle of Wight, Newport Aunt Sandown Hampshire Sidney A W Edmunds abt 1899 Isle of Wight, Shanklin Son Sandown Hampshire William Edmunds abt 1858 Isle of Wight, Newport Head Sandown Hampshire William T G Edmunds abt 1887 Isle of Wight, Niton Son Sandown Hampshire Hope this helps you a bit xx

Jenny I have found an Annie Richardson born 1862c Croydon, Surrey living with her father Henry! Do you know her fathers name? That is the only one i can find around 1860 born in Surrey!! Let me have a look for Mildred!! Ok i fiddled around with the name a bit since nothing for Mildred came up and like you said Annie called herself by her middle name in 1881 i tried the same with Mildred and searched for a Florence going from the details tht showed when she was boarding with the family. This is what i found what do you think?? William Baldwin abt 1823 Colney Heath, Hertfordshire, England Father Southgate Middlesex Annie Richardson abt 1859 Barnet, Hertfordshire, England Wife Southgate Middlesex Annie Richardson abt 1881 Southgate, Middlesex, England Daughter Southgate Middlesex Florence Richardson abt 1888 Southgate, Middlesex, England Daughter Southgate Middlesex Frederick Richardson abt 1858 Flitwick, Bedfordshire, England Head Southgate Middlesex Frederick Richardson abt 1885 Southgate, Middlesex, England Son Southgate Middlesex i know some of the details are a bit differnt to what you gave me but you just never knw let me know what you think xx

Wow Christine i dont think he wants to be found. I found a James in 1901 born 1854c but was married t Elizabeth!! Are you 100 percent sure he was born in Nottinghamshire and not Ireland like his parents? There are alot of James' born Ireland and i have found one on the 1901 census married to a Mary???? What do you think? Would you like to see the info of the one born in Ireland?? xx

Hi Claire, Please could you do a 1891 & 1901 look up for Ellen Mary Edmunds (formerly Phillips) born abt 1869 on the Isle of Wight. She married in abt 1886, her husband is William Edmunds birth details unknown. Best Regards Viveka

Hello Claire, I haven't had much luck trying to find Annie Maria Richardson DOB 1860 Richmond,Surrey in the 1891 census, (on the 1881 she was down as Maria her middle name.) I have her with her family 1861-1881. Missing on 1891 then in 1901 she is married I have her with her husband in Richmond. Chances are she is in Richmond working as a domestic servant. She had her daughter Mildred Florence Richardson in 1890 in Brentford she was living at 1 Tolson Road,Brentford at that time. But mysteriously Mildred Florence was living as a boarder aged 4 months in 1891at 3 Holy Trinity Cottages,Richmond,Surrey, no sign of Annie Maria!!! I'm sure she can't be too far away. Hope you can help. Best wishes Jenny

Hi Claire, To quote the previous lister, you certainly are a 'GEM' and thanks for your time and effort. Kind regards, Margaret

Hi CLAIRE, WOULD YOU PLEASE LOOK FOR ANYTHING ON ELIZABETH KEMP Bn 1879 LANCASHIRE. MOTHER SARAH KEMP (nee PULLAR) FATHER GEORGE KEMP..LANCASHIRE.

Hi Claire Could you please look for James Brady Jnr in the 1891 census. I have him in 1871 living at 18 Chapel Road, St Mary's, Nottingham. The household were:- James Brady 52 Labourer born Ireland Elizabeth Brady 48 wife born Ireland James Brady 17 Bricklayers Labourer born Nottingham Mary Brady 11 Cotton Winder born Nottingham. James Brady Snr died in 1878 and Elizabeth Brady was living with her daughter Mary Burton (nee Brady) at 15 Patriot Street, Nottingham in 1881 (she died in 1883). So far I can't find James Jnr in 1881. To complicate matters there is a James Brady s/o William and Mary born Sept 1851, Nottingham whereas my James Brady was born May 1853, Nottingham, s/o James and Elizabeth, both were baptised at St Barnabas R C Church, Notts and in 1861 the two families were living next door to one another so I believe they are related. Of course I have found this other James Brady in 1881 living with his brother William. My James Brady married Mary Leighton in 1898 at Nottingham RO but he was a widower so he could have been married to someone else in 1881/1891. I know it is very complicated but anything you may find would be greatly appreciated. Regards. Chris.
