Find Ancestors

Hello Katherine
Can find Jane in 1861 and 1871

1861 aged 58 a lodger-needlewoman with the Blacker family, living at St Cuthbert St, St Cuthbert, Wells, Somerset

1871 aged 68 a lodger-nurse with the Parker family, living at 16 Priest Row, St Cuthbert, Wells

both say she was born in Bath

No sign of Thomas

Sandi- sorry cannot find their marriage in any county

Sheila,

I am trying to trace my birth fathers parents. My father was Vernon Bell Watson born 31/03/1920 in the Fylde (Blackpool area) to a William Watson, a shoe repairer (according to a marriage certificate from my fathers later marriage. He never married my birth mum).
I have managed to look at marriage records from the 2nd quarter 1915 upto the end of 1919. No trace there. My mothers maiden name was Bell according to birth records for 1920.

Sorry to be so vague but adoption agencies never thought to keep decent records of ones ancestory!

Hi Sheila,

thanks for that will have to have a look into this

very strange where Thomas has gone!!!

Katherine

Sheila,

It has just occurred to the old grey matter that My father was possibly conceived at the end of WW1 (1919). Therefore the marriage, if any, could have been prior to 1914, before going off to fight for King and Country!

Ray

Raymond, I am confused, or a bit dim!
Am I looking for the marriage of William, if so,any other clues as there are many William Watsons?

Hello Raymond
There is a marriage of WILLIAM WATSON and MARY E BELL in July qtr 1913 Chorlton Lancs vol 8c pg 1996
Possible?

Hi Sheila

Sorry to bother you again... was wondering if you could find a maiden name of MARY who married William Donahue 1889 in Sunderland?

Also if you can... a maiden name of MARY again born 1842 mother to William born 1865. She married a Donahue but I dont know the first name.

Sorry - only if you can. :)

Thanks :)

thanks Shelia neither of the records fit My Ann Wintrip unfortunately. Will just have to keep looking untill i find her.

Helen-sorry cannot find either of them

Kay-see personal email

Thanks anyway Sheila! :)

Hi Sheila,

That is a distinct possibility. I understand that my father had an Aunt in the Blackpool area which is the area he was born in. Chorlton is only 60 miles away. Rather ironic that although I was born in London, I spent my childhood in the next district to Chorlton!

Anyway, a very big thank you for taking time out on my behalf.

Hello Sheila
Wouldn't want you to be bored!
I wonder if you can tell me if there is an entry in the 1841 census for the Speakman family - William, born in Aldford, Cheshire in 1827 and his wife Nancy born in Sutton, Cheshire in 1795. They had a number of children but am I right in thinking that they wouldn't have been recorded on the 1841?
Thanks in advance
Barbara
