Hi all, i'm trying to expand our BAGSHOT tree past around 1875. Know the name of my Gt Gt Grandmother but not her husband's christian name or their parents, etc. Whats the best way of finding out??? Many thanks, Leanne

If you can get their child's birth or marriage certificate (presumably your great-grandmother or great-grandfather) it will give the father's full name, and then you will be able to look for the marriage of your great-great-grandparents, and so on. Kate.

If you post the name you are sure of, together with birthplace and approx year of birth, we'll see what we can find. Reg

you could sign up to Ancestry for the census's or put some names down here and we will look for you if you want to reply to your post click on add reply at top of page Jeanette

we can probably find them on census if you give us some names and location , if you like

You're all really kind! Her name is Kate Bagshot, born circa 1870, married a Mr Bridle and they had a daughter Annie Bridle circa 1895 but don't know if they had any more children. Bagshot in Surrey. Thanks for any help/advice!

can you just clarify - it might be me- kate bagshot, from Bagshot??

Yes, Kate Bagshot born of the Bagshot family, Bagshot Manor in Surrey!!!!

hi leanne i was cautious about signing to ancestry as i thought it was alot of money, but i would advise it. they have a 30 day free trial at the moment so give it a go. i have found it really helpful as it opens up far more leads.

I cant find any bagshot's in surrey at all seem all to be hampshire got the marriage...in hampshire View Record Bagshot, Kate Reeks 1889 December Marriages Christchurch (1837-1919) Hampshire View Record BRIDLE, William 1889 December Marriages Christchurch (1837-1919) Hampshire and her birth Name: Bagshot, Kate Reeks Record Type: Births Quarter: December Year: 1863 District: Christchurch (1837-1919) County: Hampshire Volume: 2b Page: *40

I cant see how anyone could pursue this hobby without ancestry. We can do in days what it once took people years to look up. Meanwhile, no trace of any Bagshots in Surrey.

Jess - the recent family were in Bishopstoke in Hampshire. Bagshot Manor may have been in Chobham in Surrey. How are you finding the information? Can I look up stuff? How? Thank you!!!

You can look up all the census from 1851 (shortly 1841aswell) - 1901 by getting a sub on ancestry.
