Find Ancestors

I think I may have confused you all.I only met Rose and Bill in 50s and 60s. Rose was older sister of my paternal grandmother, Maud Hobbs [Wheeler] They were part of a large family and as a child I can only remember meeting a few of them at various times.We moved to Chingford, and visited them at Nazeing until 1965, at our fathers funeral. After thatmy brother and sister and I had moved away and lost touch with all but close family.Hence I am searching the sites for info.Will keep watching for any further news from any of you,and will let you know if I find any further clues. I do have their address in Nazeing.Will that be any use,as at the moment i cannot access the electoral lists.
It was 49/51, Pecks Hill, Nazeing.Cheers Daphne

Thank-you all so far. I have some of the info you have also found,but very confused with the 2nd marriage,and not finding rose in 1911, with or without Alice.I am going to look further but would still be interested if anyone finds anything further.
I only met Rose in 50s and 60s as she lived near where we lived at the time,and as children my brother and sister used to cycle to see them.Her Husband [ partner] was Bill, and they had a son Bill.Has made it difficult as no family members are now left to ask for more detail,so I have no surname for Rose and Bill.The last time I saw her was in 1965,and she would have been about 83. I only started on Genes a few years ago once I retired and wanted to trace my ancestors.

Thanks Reggie!


Not that it helps us go any further


I agree with GB, the baptism record indicates that Sidney was the father of the baby Alice in 1903.




sylvia

How do you know she was with Bill then - being 1903

The baptism record suggest she had Alice with Sidney Burgess

Do you honestly have no idea what surname she was using in 1950's

There isn't a death for her registered in Epping - the district which included Nazeing up to 1974

There is a box below with the title 'Add your reply'

Please use it to respond - in the way that everyone else who posted on this thread has done.

Thank you

I have had three PM's

Make of them what you will

Have you any news for me?
Daphne

Rose born 1882,Bill aprox same decade.
Was a child when they lived in Nazeing,but didnt know any other details. Both dead now, no other relatives can help.
Daphne


Yes, but its much later in her life I need to find,; possibly Sidney died or they divorced,not even sure it was her who had the baby in 1903She was with Bill then . Last time I saw her was in 1965.She was the in her 80s
Daphne

Oh well that confirms it is the wrong family

But I know it must be wrong - wrong place of birth and not found her with a sister Jessie

I can't find anything else!


so we do have to wait for Daphne to see what she thinks.

I missed the obvious by not checking for a death

So it is back to Daphne to let us know when she thinks Rose died

NO NO NO


we can't find Alice, because she died!

Assuming the children would be baptised, I looked on the London baptisms ...............

The only Rose Maud* Hill I can find with Thomas as father, doesn't not have Rose as mother

No Alice Louis* Hill born within 4 year period.




Am I stretching it ?????????????????????????






sylvia

Not at 112 Southam St in Kensington on 1911

yes, I've been looking for Alice Louisa

They were living at 112 Southam Street, when she was baptised.

and Alice was born 12th January 1903



but I don't know where that is in London!




sylvia

Would help if I could find Rose and Alice Louisa on 1911 but nothing

answer



he said he was a Bachelor




sylvia

Batchelor

but she can't have died IF Daphne knew her in the 1950s and 60s!



they probably did not divorce ......... divorce was very expensive and very difficult to obtain right up to WW2, and only the very wealthy could go through with one.


GB .... what did Sydney say bout his marital status on that second certificate???
