Find Ancestors

Hi Michelle
Please would you look up Dorothy Breese who was born Lambeth or Wandsworth 1906, parents Frederick Breese and Nellie Smith. She married in 1940s Richard (Dick) Smith and they lived on a farm in Wantage, Berkshire, they had a son called John about 1945. Then in 1960s she moved back to Colliers Wood, and died in 1960s.
Thanks Sandra

Hi Michelle

After sent a pm I found your thread - typical -

So am nudging up

Irene in Spain

Yes it is less likely. Although saying that i had an ancestor listed as a Gentleman and his daughter did work. I think this maybe a case of strays from the 1841 sadly. There is no sign of them. I am unsure with regards missing census parts on the 1841, this maybe an option? Most census years have missing parts.
Good luck with your tree.

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

Thank you ever so much for looking for these elusive ancestors of mine. I really appreciate all the time that you have spent looking. You are a star.
The one of Mary Ann does look promising I will look further into that. In 1846 when Mary Ann gets married John Walker has his occupation as gentleman so less likely that she would be working.

Thanks again
Liz

Not much luck with that 1841...the 1841 is a difficult census as being the first there were many errors in it. In later census if people were not in when visited they were followed up, this did not alway happen on the 1841. There are many strays on this census, people who were not recorded. I found a possible for Mary Ann...maybe working in this house? She is listed as not born in the area she was in at the time. Which is true as she was born in Kent.

Hi Michelle,

Thank you for looking. I really appreciate your continued assistance. I'm hoping you can smash this brick wall of mine!!!

Looking forward to seeing what you can find on my Walker family!

Irene

Ah thanks so pleased for you :) I love helping people and love working on brick walls. Wish i had more time to give, but I work and have 2 kids so not always easy to be on here.

Happy searching and you know where i am if you need anymore help :)

Michelle

Michell

Will do - thank you again - you have solved all but one of my tree - I am very very pleased - i am nearly at the very end of quest - it has taken about 3 years - really really enjoyed it - as you know I was beside my self with joy when you found Ada Jane for me - and I mean overjoyed - if ever I can do any thing for you just ask

My kindest regards

Irene

Irene

I don't know? I use Ancestry the mistranscript i found through my methods i use for hard to find people.The 1871 came up fine on Ancestry and the rest of the information i found through that record.
Each site does vary, 1 record you can find on 1 you might not find on the other.
Main thing is you have the information and make sure to get certs to verify it.

Michelle

Michelle - I use FMP apart from the mistranscription - which I would never have got - why could I not find on census search - why did they not come up


Many many thanks

Irene

Irene

I am not 100% on Ann, i did wonder because she was not with the family on the 1841...so wondered if his first wife had died? But the 1861 was interesting with the Bowring surname.
There are a couple of deaths before 1840 for possible first wives if this is the case. Think 1 was Ann and the other was Jane.

Remember to always verify information with certs. Hope this has helped with that brick wall :)

Ah just seen your message...glad you are happy :)

Michelle

Good grief Michelle - how do you do it - they all wrote Bincombe - I have hunted around Bincombe for days - just to get rid of the dreaded (mother) record - it turns out to be Winterbourne St Martin - Martinstown - as I read down the records - and saw Martinstown births - I expected Frederick Turner to pop up


What more can I say but thank you so very much - you have done Bessie Jane proud
