Heath town is in Wolverhampton District and I can't see a Frances/Fanny, only an Alice: >>>>Alice Timmis abt 1886 Heath, Staffordshire, England Daughter Wednesfield Staffordshire Charels Timmis abt 1882 Roseville, Staffordshire, England Son Wednesfield Staffordshire Daniel Timmis abt 1879 Roseville, Staffordshire, England Son Wednesfield Staffordshire Edwin Timmis abt 1888 Heath, Staffordshire, England Son Wednesfield Staffordshire John Timmis abt 1845 Tilston, Staffordshire, England Head Wednesfield Staffordshire Joseph Timmis abt 1884 Roseville, Staffordshire, England Son Wednesfield Staffordshire Mary B Timmis abt 1847 Mocest Pleasout, Staffordshire, England Wife Wednesfield Staffordshire Sarah Timmis abt 1877 Roseville, Staffordshire, England Daughter Wednesfield Staffordshire William Timmis abt 1874 Roseville, Staffordshire, England Son Wednesfield Staffordshire Merry

her dad was john timmis and they were from b,ham area i sent out few messages to people researching timmis surname cus i was strugling and got home from work to find some one had repled saying my nans name was actually frances and he told me my dad lewis was a sargent in the army which i never knew angie x

i have my grandparents marriage cert and her name on that is alice maud timmis no mention of frances,but this person seems to know angie x

What does it say for her name on your dad's birth cert?

Also how old is she on her Marriage Cert ? Cheers...Paul

Why does the person who contacted you think the name is Frances? The name on the marriage certificate seems more likely to be right. I remember that we found the birth of Alice Maud Timmis on an earlier thread you posted, but I don't remember if anyone found her in a census.

There is an Alice Maud Timmis born 1906 birmingham area - so that might explain why ?? Alice Maud Timmis 1906 Jul-Aug-Sep Walsall Staffordshire Cheers...Paul

GOSH LOTS OF QUESTIONS she was 23 in 1906 when she married it all seems bazzare to me angie x

on my dads cert it also says alice maud timmis still waiting for a reply of my informer angie x

I'd go with Alice Maud then. Did she die Alice Maud too? It seems odd for someone to say that. Why do they think she had a different name?

thats the odd thing iv never found exact birth or death my nan died in the 70s if any one can find her angie x
