Thanks Jess I'm going to fire up ancestry.co.uk this evening when son in bed!!! Have a lead on my Grandpa on other side of family now, so going to follow that up later!! Take care, Lea

Im really struggling to find refs to Kates mother pre marriage - Anna maria Reeks. there are lots of later Baps in Christchurch of Reeks children, including a Kate Reeks and an Annie Reelks, which suggest a family name association but..... Have to go shopping now or we'll starve!!

this birth cert will confirm maggies parentage Name: Bridle, Maggie Kathleen Record Type: Births Quarter: December Year: 1892 District: Christchurch (1837-1919) County: Hampshire Volume: 2b Page: 620 1891 says William was a gamekeeper, maybe he turned fisherman?was at sea?

have found daughter Annie in 1901 and can offer no explantion as to what she is doing where she is.may not be the right Annie, but it fits her profile It would be a logical assumption that Maggie was her sister, maybe both of them were staying as boarders as mum was at work, but where was dad? >> Annie K Bridle abt 1891 Christchurch, Hampshire, England Daughter Christ Church East Hampshire >> Maggie K Bridle abt 1893 Christchurch, Hampshire, England Boarder Christ Church East Hampshire Anna Brownen abt 1862 Christchurch, Hampshire, England Wife Christ Church East Hampshire Herbert E Brownen abt 1863 Christchurch, Hampshire, England Head Christ Church East Hampshire Winifred D Brownen abt 1889 Christchurch, Hampshire, England Daughter Christ Church East Hampshire Address:35 Bar Gates
