Find Ancestors

Hi debra Thanks for finding Thomas and Caroline in 1901 They are definitely not on the 1901 census online. Could you give me the ref and folio no. of the page they are on so that I can get an original copy. Also is it possible to look for the other 2 sons in 1901 John (25) and Henry (24). Once again many thanks Mike

WOO HOO - thanks Deb, trust my lot to be awkward. Poor Ellen another wife with twelve children, by my reckoning the first born 1871 the last in 1895 she spent most of her life pregnant - a baby every other year !! Thankyou again - Sue.

MICHAEL, HAVE FOUND THEM IN 1891 BUT YOU MOST PROB GOT THAT, BUT HERE THEY ARE IN 1901.... THOMAS JEEVES HD 53 COMMISIONER POLICE(SAYS HE IS STILL WORKING) CAROLINE WI 57 HERBERT SON 19 GOLF CLUB MAKER GEORGE SON 17 CADDIE(GOLF) ADDRESS: 1 STREATHAM GARDENS (SOUTH) LONDON

Hi Debra thanks for looking up George Mantripp 1871, its possibe he could have been living in or around Harrow Middx as his daughter was living there in 1881 and remarried there in1883. ....I'm also looking for Thomas & Caroline Jeeves + 4 sons. In Sept 1897 were living in Streatham London when he retired from the police force but in 1901 could not find any of them on the census and believe they may have gone to the US. In 1900 Thomas was 50 born Bushey Herts and caroline 53 born Harrow Middx. If you could look them up in the first census after 1900. Many thanks Mike

SUE, FOUND THEM THEY WERE MISTRANSCRIBED UNDER TAYTOR 1891 GEORGE TAYLOR HD 42 HAY BINDER BN ESSENDON ELLEN WI 41 BN RYBES GREEN ESSENDON GEORGE SON 18 BN HATFIELD ANNIE DAU 16 DOM SERVANT BN HATFIEELD JOHN SON 14 SCHOLAR BN HATFIELD FREDERICK SON 11 SCHOLAR BN HATFIELD FLORRY DAU 9 SCHOLAR BN HATFIELD FANNY DAU 7 SCHOLAR BN HATFIELD MAUD DAU SCHOLAR BN HATFIELD WILLIAM SON 2 BN HATFIELD ADDRESS: STANBORO, HATFIELD HERTS DEB

Hi Debra - how odd! This is what I have so far.. I have them in 1881 and 1901 at this address - Stanboro, Hatfield Herts. George approx 44 says born Essenden on both census either a Hay Binder or ASg Lab. Ellen Taylor 42 in 81 says born Essenden in 1901 born Rybes Green Herts. Son Frederick is age 1 in 1881 and still at home in 1901 all children born Hatfield. 1901 includes a Florence who would be 9 in 1891, Maud who would be 4 and a William who would be 2yrs There is a Sarah age 19 in 1891 a George 18 an Anne 15 and John 13 somewhere ? Hope this helps. NO HURRY on these as I'm just starting on this family... Thanks Sue

Thanks for looking Deb. Yes Elijah's parents were Elijah Shell and Jane Teape, I think Jane was Irish so that will be hard to trace. If you are at a lose end and feeling a bit like a detective, I am still looking for my mum's grandad. Charles Bateman born Deptford 1866-68. He's on the 71 aged 3 with mum Frances and brother Richard. I have Charles marriage cert in 88 (to Caroline Shell) which states father William Bateman (deceased). I have Charles on 91 and 01 but nothing on 81 and no birth record. No record of Frances and William marriage either. Old Charlie Boy is my biggest stumbling block. Off out for a curry tonight but back to family tree tomorrow. Just tell me to b*gger off if I am being a pest. Selena

SUE, have been looking for your taylors all day , but cant find anything at all im afraid, have you got any more info to go on? dbe

PAUL/CHRIS, CANT SEEM TO FIND GEORGE FOR YOU BUT I WILL KEEP TRYING OK. IF YOU WANT ANY MORE LOK UPS PLEASE ASK. DEB

SELINA, I CANT SEEM TO FIND ELIJAH AND ELIZABETHS MARRIAGE EITHER. BUT I THINK THAT ELIJAHS PARENTS WERE ELIJAH AND JANE, BUT I NO DOUBT YOU HAVE ALREADY GOT THIS INFO, LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED MORE HELP. DEB

Hi Debra - again many thanks, That looks like my Braggins family, wonder where Pammy was? Looks likely that James was in the Army from the 1871, I feel another trip to Kew coming on. Did you have any luck with the Taylors? Sue

MICHAEL, ONLY 24 MANTRIPPS IN THE 1871 CENSUS IN SUFFOLK, NONE ARE THE NAMES YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.. THE US CENSUS ARE 1790-1930 IF I CAN DO ANOTHER LOOK UP FOR YOU JUST ASK OK. DEB

Hi Debra could you do a lookup 1871 for a George Mantripp born abt 1818 Lowestoft suffolk wifes name martha and daughter Georgina age abt 30 if livingwith them. I think he may have been a publican. Many thanks Mike. Also what dates are the US census for.

Debra, you are a star! Thank you so much for the info on Elijah Shell and his relatives!. I have got loads of updating to do now. I would just like to know when Elijah and Elizabeth got married (around 1855-60), and what is Elizabeth's maiden name, I have looked but no luck. Only if you have five minutes and are not bombarded with other stuff. Thank you again for the brilliant help. Have a good weekend, Selena

Thank you for looking Debra. Kind regards Valerie

Hi Debra I am desperately looking for Elijah Shell. He was born in 1837 in Deptford and married an Elizabeth. In 51 he was living in Stratford (West Ham) and in 81 was living in Sutton Surrey. He claims to have been born in Leigh Essex but I know better. I think he also lived in Epsom at one point. Can you do the impossible and find him at all in 71 or 91? Any help gratefully received. Many thanks Selena

Hello Debra - me again, could you please have a look for this family in Hertfordshire 1891 - George Taylor age 44 - wife Ellen 42 both born Hertford, there should be several children including a John age 13 born Hertford. Also if you're not too busy a Pamela Braggins also in Herts (now she may not be a Pamela I'm not certain) age 15 born Hatfield Herts. The Braggins family seem to be very few and far between in that area. Many thanks Sue. PS Just found Pamela mistranscribed in 1881 - father James Braggins, would be 60 and Levinia Braggins age 36

Thanks for looking up George I.have to check that one out. What years do th us census cover. Mike
