I wonder if our coachman ancestors died outside London, being a coachman, a petrol head of the Victorain times, they might have been on a run outside London and suddenly fell ill or had an accident as a coachman?

I wonder if they emigrated or were sent abroad??? My George Coombs would have been about 40 in 1830.

It would be very good to find their burials but we might have to try outside of London area. Wonder if NBI might have anything?

Well, I don't think it will take two weeks. My certs have only taken a week lately. And it would be easier to find her on the 1901 if we had parents names. That is the only way to find siblings. so far no luck though. I am wondering if they called her Daisy when they baptized her then called her Lilian afterwards.

Can find alot in 2 weeks..I should know..ive been amazed at what ive found out about my family!..I truely knew nothing much of them. :)

Hoping to find some siblings or even parents before the birth cert arrives... :)

Yep thats her....Thats the birth cert i have sent for.

I have sent for them...but they gonna take 2 weeks to get to me...was hoping to do some searching while Im waiting..other wise its a wasted 2 weeks!
If i can get a name to go on..I can do some advanced searching..if it turn out incorrect..then no probs..gives me something to do..BUt if what i turn up is correct..then I have got info already..and so can move on faster! :)

make sence?

Johnstone Daisy Lilian June 1899 Portsea 2b 459

Cross referencing with aunts and uncle names and dob's.....They were all born to the same couple..in the same place at the right times.
Common sence told me I had found my granparents.
All I needed was to find the names I had on a birth cert for one of thier kds..my dad..and BINGO!..
:) <----Smarty pants

Paul, if you have found her name and birth date can I ask why you have not sent for her birth certificate?

It worked ..as my fathers birth cert confirms.

Once I had her name, I looked for a birth date in the right area to match the name. :)

I matched up my aunts and uncle..names and birth dates..to the same couple....BINGO!
So I knew there names then looked them up.
I needed the birth cert to confirm for sure...and BINGO!..again..the names I got from my search..matched those on my fathers birth cert..
simple really. :)

Sorry to be dense Paul. are you saying that Daisy is your Grandmother? You say you got the names from your Father's birth cert so you looked them up. where did you look and how did you find Daisy's date of birth. I need to know all this o I have an idea of where i am going with looking it up.

Through my fathers birt cert which I got just a few days ago. I got the names from there, then looked them up..but I cant find out any more about them.
So I know when and where they born...just dont know who to..or if they had siblings..

Hope you understand that. :)

Only ever meet my grand parents on my mothers side once..when I was about 6..dont recall anything.
On my father side( which is what this is).....I never meet them, or even knew their names...
Only recently found out thier names..but dont know her parents or if they had sibings.

Paul, how do you know when and where she was born?

I dont know anything about my family..well didnt..
only recently found her details.
But I dont know her parents or if she had siblings etc

Sorry Ann lost post and was distracted else where.

Yes Daisy was born in Portsea 1899

Ben, would you believe I have the same problem? My Gtx3 grandfather was a coachman/servant in highgate. I have nothing on him after 1832 and his wife is a widow in 1841. I can't find his death either.
So I need somebody else to come up with ideas on this one.
