Blimey Jess. What a load of kids and what a lot of descendants to find. Just watched the programme on Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar. One of mine was at the Battle and it was a really good programme as I could relate the time span between Nelson and my Benjamin Robinson. Thanks for your help. Jan

Anyone wanting - I'm stuck here and can't go anywhere! Jess

Hi Jess, Is it possible you could look up on the 1881 census all the boys named Stephen born 1874 in Herts - Stephen 'Easter' is my grandfather, but he and his mother fled Herts and moved to London and assumed the surname Easter when she had other children with two brothers with the surname Easter ! The birth certs for her other children show her maiden name as Smith and also Brown, so I guess she didn't want to be found. But of course this means I don't know my grandfathers birth surname (or indeed his mothers !) so this is prob the only way I will be able to trace him. Is this possible for you to look up, I would be every so grateful. Kind regards Annabel

Anabel, that is a challenge and a half! do you know his mothers christian name? Stephen Leek abt 1875 Tring, Hertfordshire, England Son Summer House, Tring, Hertfordshire, England Mother caroline/father Henry Stephen Messenger abt 1873 Sandridge, Hertfordshire, England Son Victoria Terrace, St Albans St Peter, Hertfordshire, England parents John/Sarah Stephen Joseph Moody abt 1875 Essendon, Hertfordshire, England Son Upper West End, Essendon, Hertfordshire, England parents Caroline/James Stephen Squires abt 1874 Ickleford, Hertfordshire, England Son Village, Ickleford, Hertfordshire, England parents Sarah/George Stephen George Swain abt 1873 Ridge, Hertfordshire, England Son Ridge Farm, Ridge, Hertfordshire, England parents mary Ann /no father present Stephen T. Vale abt 1875 Bushey, Hertfordshire, England Son 8 Nelson Rd, Harrow, Middlesex, England parents Elizabeth & Stephen! damn and blast!

Wow are there only 6 !! His mothers name was Amy and she was apparently born in Herts as well in 1851ish(according to the 1891 census anyway !) thanks for all your help, hopefully if I manage to track these 6 Stephens down I will find my Grandad !!! I can't thank you enough Kindest regards Annabel

OK annabel. hang about . lets see if any of them have a mother by that name. Have added parents names to names below. Jess * what is the ref you have found for her in 1891?

Census 1891 RG12 sub district 40 Folio 158 verso - Address 7 Leysfield Road Amy Easter, head, mar, 40, Lives on own means, Hertfordshire. Stephen Easter, son, unm, 16, Scholar, Hertfordshire Foilio 159 recto - Address 7 Leysfield Road (i.e. a continuation) Amy Easter, daur,, 6,,London Sarah Hunt, serv., unm, 25, General servant, London. thats all I have - and Amy senior was mistranscribed as Anne ! so even this took some searching ! Any help or advice you could give me would be wonderful. Thanks again for all your kindness Annabel x

Ancestry really only covers up to 1910 (as it says in my title) trying to find a Lilly woods (when we dont know if she was a Lilly/Lily or a Lillian and just born Bedfordshire is almost impossible! Edith Lily Woods abt 1890 Stagsden, Bedfordshire, England Daughter Stagsden Bedfordshire Lily Woods abt 1872 Dunstable, Bedfordshire, England Wife Luton Bedfordshire Lily Elizabeth Woods abt 1883 Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Daughter Bedford St Mary Bedfordshire Lilian Woods abt 1896 Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Daughter Bedford St Peter Bedfordshire ---------------------------------------------------------- look on the site 1837 and find Lily and percy's marriage, The you'll find her fathers name which will help no end

Hi Jess, first time on GR. Wondered if you could advise me what to do next. Done some research for family tree. Back to getting death certificates for paternal grandparents, but these do not give me any info on where whey were born and married. Ive got JOHN EDWARD CALLAN B.1871 DIED AGE 72 13/5/43 married MARY ELLEN BRADY b.1874 died 80 yrs 2/2/54. All relatives who could help are deceased. My father included, who gave me the impression they were from Ireland. When I try the websites for Ireland, they ask for place of birth which I do not have. Which census do I look at and where do I go from here. Do I try looking for a marriage certificate in Manchester, as this is where they lived, but they may have been married in Ireland before they came to UK. iF YOU GET TIME TO REPLY, AS YOU SEEM TO BE A VERY BUSY AND POPULAR FELLOW, I SHOULD BE INDEED VERY GRATEFUL. Rose Callan (Fernandes)

Hi Jess Can you please look for the following on 1891 census? Francis Walker, b1860 Hardingstone Isabella Annabel b1859 (British Subject) America I expect them to be in Northampton, possibly Hardingstone. I'm interested to know if they had children as their 1st born died at the age of 3 Thanks J
