Morning Jess, Many thanks for info at this point I only have Mary to work back from she died in 1946 age 50. She was my granny on my mums side. But I can have a delve into the info you gave me. Cheers Janie

Chris the only return for Olivia Greet is :- Greet, Olivia abt 1834 Tregony, Cornwall Wife St Just Cornwall obviously not the right one. What were her parents names?

Please would you be kind enough to look up OLIVIA GREET on the 1891 census. Probably back with her parents - surname THORNTON - in Nottingham area. Age around 39. Many thanks Chris

The son William is a widow and appears to be at home with his parents and children *Do you have any sibling names?

Jess At a guess in the 1881 census OVERS has been mis-transcribed . The 1901 you gave me for them is right , but the second (the 1881) can't be can it as LIZZIE'S name is right but she appears to have changed even the christian names of her parents between 1881 and 1991 from ONIONS to OVERS but was born LIZZIE OVERS So is there a way they can be found or what would be the mis-transcribed name at a guess Residence is right area Deb

Hello Jess, Could you please look up for me Mary Alder born in Kibblesworth (Durham) in 1896 if you have time? and let me know family members the address was The Square i think maybe 1901 census would give me more family members. Regards Janie

Deborah They seem to be apart in 1871 Ann Napier abt 1845 Devonport, Devon, England Head Woolwich London Jane Napier abt 1870 Woolwich, Kent, England Daughter Woolwich London There are a collectin of James Napiers born scotland but can't find a married- but- not- with -the- wife -one. * Just looked at 1881 , actually they are next door neighbours- James and maria at 28, James and Annie at 29 coming back- tommorow

Hello Jess Could you please look on 1871 census for James NAPIER born 1849 Scotland and his wife Ann born 1842/3 Devonport(my gg grandparents) ,In woolwich area probably as first daughter Jane was born in 1871 there and James NAPIER 1833 Scotland and his wife Maria J Napier born woolwich 1841 ,they may have been in Aldershot as their son William was born there in 1870. In 1881 both families are living together in Woolwich,28 Jackson St, but it doesnt state the relationship of the 2 James Thank you Deborah

Ronald remind me of the detail and will look again with amended info

Hi Jess ref my reply 18th may John Cook & Agnes Cook/1861 look up request.Please ignore any ref to Isobel Cook 1st wife she would have been prior to 1861.

Deb , not a clue!

Jess Is the pairish of ST. Michaels and ST Johns in the fosehill area?

Db. I have no way of knowing! There is a Lizzie overs in the right place at the right time and have gone with that in the hope that it is the right one, looking for a 'unknown Mr Overs Marrying Lizzie Unknown not really knowing where or when is almost impossible. What yo ureally need to do is buy the marriage cert for Lizzie and Turner and see what it says.. Lizzie Overs Nee something (widow) or lizzie Overs -spinster

So I would gather OVERS was her maiden then pheww !! then we , I mean (me with alot of help from you ) have to try and locate LIZZIE'S second marriage to a TENNANT (after we located ARTHURS birth and death ) I think TENNAT was either a policeman or fireman and again these would be in the warks area You are doing great Jess , cheers ma dear and a whole heap of hugs that I am going to get from the mother-in-law passed on;-)) Debs
