Find Ancestors

Hi Nikki, Been down that road myself, assumed she may be in service. Found three Elizabeth's of the right age, servants in Notts & Derbys. Discounted one in Matlock who turned out to be my Eliza's cousin, another was an Elizabeth Ada that left me with the Elizabeth Ann Birkin, the one you suggested.I've been tempted for months to accept her as my Eliza and solve my problem, but thats 'cheating 'and does no favours for anyone, untill I can find a more positive link I will keep digging. Thanks for your interest, Roy

Sally Do you know the dates of birth for either Fred or Mabel? Nikki

Alasdair Can't find the marriage that you're looking for however I have found the marriage in 1870, Lambeth of Alfred William Youatt & Mary Hannah Hocking & the following 1871 Census return.... Alfd Wm Youatt 23 Lambeth, Surrey, England Head Lambeth London Mary H Youatt 28 Limehouse, Middlesex, England Wife Lambeth London Nikki

Nicola Thank you for your kind offer. Could you look for JENKIN EVANS aged about 7, born Taibach, Glamorgan in 1971 please. He should be with his family: John Evans 32 b. Monknash, Glam. wife Mary 30 b. Taibach sister Mary W. 10 b. Taibach brothers Thomas, about 6 ) all William 2 ) born and possibly Edward, 1. ) Maesteg Address in 1881 was 96 Garth Road, Cwmdu. Many thanks nell

Cheers for that, i think now I might have got it wrong, Edith Mary Youatt was a witness at Emily elizabeth Youatts wedding, so now I guess she was a sister and the couple you have found are the true mum and dad - great cheers alasdair

Nikki I love you and I want to have your babies! No, I retract that, but I am very grateful and excited because this Jenkin Evans had a son in 1898 who is my husband's Welsh grandfather. He was called Edward Mandry Evans and he spent his later years living in Llangynwyd opposite the beautiful church [2nd oldest in Wales]. He cut the grass between the gravestones with a scythe and he is now buried there with his wife. I didn't know his father lived there before him! Thanks again nell

Nikki

Sally Without out further info trying to find them on Ancestry's a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. Have you tried an address search via the 1901 National Archives site? Nikki

Nell Glad to have been of assistance. It's so exiciting when you make an unexpected discovery isn't it?!

thanks for the info nikki, ive thought over the months that ella name may be short for somethink else,but when i got intouch with the people at the family history dept in liverpool, they told me that the mother had to put her real name on the birth certificate(ive got the birth certificate and the names ella) maybe who ever copied it down may have made a mistake or maybe whoever told my family that ella was only 16 when she had my grandfather were wrong, looking for ella has been like looking for a needle in a hay stack, but i wont give up i will find her one day. thanks again for your help sue
