Thought I'd update those of you who were kind enough to assist me a couple of weeks ago. Have now received George's birth cert. Unfortunately, it is for the wrong George, and I cannot see any other possible births on the bmd index, so I will be contacting the local records office. I'll let you know when I have some news. Liz

You are welcome Liz and look forward to hearing from you when the cert for george arrives Fuzzy x

Thanks again for all your efforts. I will let you know when I receive George's cert. Liz

hiya liz, yes it has arrived!!! and to me it looks like Mincer, have just finnished getting my babies bag ready for hospital, (have yet to do mine) but as usual that can wait a bit, LOL anyway that's my opinion for what its worth, Mincer, so we will see no doubt, did you say you were going to order another childs cert to see if that helped?? If you ordered it from GRO you can phone them, and they should send out a typed cert so you can read it better, (they have done this for me on a few times) HTH Julie

Liz, If you do send off for George's cert and when it comes you can read it, can you let us all know what it was......bet we will all look and the copies of the certs you sent us and go.....Oooh yes I can see that now!! always the way eh when you know what it says!! Fuzzy

Julie, Have tried emailing again. Liz

Just got in guys and see you no further forward getting the name, it is so frustrating for you Liz and I do sympathise, as I say have been there. LOL Dea, know what you mean normally able to help other people find their rellies but never my own!! Yes Dea you right William was a widower by 1881, like you cant conclusively find ann's death. Still pondering about dear Linah/Carthaliner, spent hours on that last week, but no further forward!! Think I may try to get in touch with local RO that contains LLandogo and see what they say. Fuzzy x

hiya, i pm'd you earlier, but still not had any email, sorry julie

thanks for all your efforts. I think I will send off for brother George's birth certificate, to see if mothers maiden name is legible on that. Thanks Liz

It was a long shot I cant find any likely marriage in Kent Sue

Sue, I did wonder about this one. But discounted on the basis that William's mothers maiden name didn't really look like milliner. Liz

Fuzzy, I believe William was a Widdower by 1881. Though I can't definitely trace Ann Elizabeth's death either. Dea x p.s. These people MUST be related to me - I can usually find other peopl's quite easily!!!!!!! Dea x

I must admit it's a toughie. It almost looks like II-i-i-icer. I had a google for Hollingbourn too,just to see if the OPC gave anything but no joy. Sorry folks,i have to go and see Mrs Tinsel,oh how i love hospital visits!! Will see what develops later. Glen

Maybe this one 1851 Elizth Ann Milliner abt 1844 Stockbury, Kent, England Daughter Stockbury Kent

Dea, Glad it is not just me am goggled eyed and shoulders are sore, have tried everything I can think of now. Will stop for now and check back in later have to go for coffee at friends house.....keep fingers crossed for you, and will try again tommorow, I hate giving up!! after the 1871 census they seem to disappear, think i found them in 1891, but wifes age was 7 years out, all other factors correct though including williams profession, mind area teeming with farm labourers!! Fuzzy x

Gosh, this IS a hard one - You will need to get the Christman -nut-crackers' out as well as the holly + tinsel Glen.!!!!!!! I have looked at all the census's, all the marriages and all the Ann Elizabeth's - Can't find anything which fits. Will explore further!!!!!! Dea x

Fuzzy, 1881 - Ann had died by this time. Husband William (1831) can be found with sons William and George. Regards Liz

Cant find them in 1881, wanted to check whether she gave Stockbury as her place of birth again.....I have tried looking in the 1851 for a Ann ? born 1843 in stockbury kent, but nothing that looked like our girl.....and no mills!!! bum!! Fuzzy x

Sorry Elizabeth the message was sitting in my junk folder. Just going to give them a coat of looking over. Glen
