I have a birth certificate for Lily Victoria Jubilee Green born 2 March 1887 Newcastle Staffs, Parents Joseph Alexander Green a Inland Revenue Officer and Louisa/ise Gunday/ Gundey. I can't find any census records until Lily is married in 1911 to Jesse Eurdley in Shanklin. Also know marriage for Joseph & Louise/ Louisa in England & Wales. Could there be a record in Scotland? Does anyone have access to Scottish records Please. Regards Gill :-S

I like the name honouring Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887.

Yes I don't think there's many of those about.
:-D

I wonder if there'll be any Elizabeth Jubilees born this year?

Possibly but people don't seem to be as patriotic as they were.

Doesn't help obviously, but might be her 1901.

Hi Brummiejan.
I have toyed with that one before but for some reason knowing the family I can't see her as a servant might be wrong though, I have got a copy of that census but until I find something before I can't make a decision . Thank's any way.
Gill

Try this one. He was a brother of my maternal grandfather. Sadly he and his family were killed in the Coventry Blitz.

Hi Jillian.
It's surprising how many Jubilees there are, I hadn't realised till I found Lily,They are all 1887 or 1897 for the diamond Jubilee.
Gill

Out of couriosity I did a FreeBMD for just the first name Jubliee. I searched 1887-9 and there were loads. So I expanded Mar 1880 to Dec 1900. Even more - male and female. Lots of Jubilee Victorias around particularly 1887. The one fascinating to me was Jubilee Waterloo Reeves b.1883. I'd love to have his name on my tree. :-) J

Gill sometimes I think I need to be dunked in a vat of something extremely alcoholic and then pegged out to dry. I was thinking to myself why 1897 aswell. Oh the havoc I could cause if I had a brain. :-S

I wonder what her parents call her, can't imagine anyone shouting Jubilee Waterloo come in for your tea down the street.lol :-D
Me to Jillian I don't always cotton on to quick ether lol

Well she married in her birth area, but I haven't found her in earlier census.

Hi Gwyn,
Yes and her second marriage in 1919 to Percy Banks Rhead,that was Newcastle we have both of them but where her parents came from is anyone's guess!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gill

Just can't see any trace of her or her parents on a census.
Do you have an address and names of witnesses from first marriage cert?
Jan

Hi Brummiejan.
Just say Shanklin for husband and Newcastle,Staffs for Lily. One witness was Daisy Laura Green can't remember the other ,daughter in Law has cert it's her great grandma. will get copies tomorrow.
Gill

We'll wait for that then to see if it helps. What an elusive faimly!
Daisy Laura Green is fairly unusual, unfortunate that we do not know if it is her maiden or married name.
I can see only 2 obvious BMD entries neither of which seem too helpful - the Sussex one appears with her parents on a census.

I've tried the vaguest of searches on FamilySearch and nothing. Similar search on FreeBMD for her parents and zilch.

I thought maybe if I could find Joseph's death but zero too.

You'd think with a name like she had it would be like a beacon. Parents just don't seem to be showing up in England or Wales.

Post anything you can find on the cert tomorrow.

xJ

Just one more question - no chance of an address on the birth cert I suppose!!
jan

Thank's Jillian,
tell me about it have been trying for 2 days, daughter in laws grandma is still alive (Lily's daughter in law) I have told her she has to sit her down and grill her lol I wonder if they lived abroad for a few years,just don't know. Will post again tomorrow.
