'Lady Woon' would almost certainly be Ladywood (Birmingham).

Dear Everyone (who answered my enquiry re my great grandmother, Esabella(and variants)White/Mansell/Kendall/Curry/Hickman)

Thank you all very much for all the information you have supplied. This has been a very great help in backing up all the work I have done for many years.

Did you get this information from originals as I used to do before we all had to use the computer, or via computer?

I ask this, as in one case, Isabella (under name of Hickman) was put down as being born in WINCHESTER, Gloucestershire (It should have read WINCHCOMBE,Gloucestershire, as Winchester is in Hampshire. I was also a little worried by LADY WOON. I did find some real howlers in the early digital transcriptions I had to use, like "a member of a grass band"?!

However, All in all, I was very pleased today 23rd Jan 2013 (as I had trouble with not being able access my email provider over the last week - exasperation!!).

Thank you all most heartily for making my day.

Jasmine (great granddaughter of Esabella White)

Family stories can be fascinating.........but not always accurate

Jasmine, I am a bit hazy about how much concrete info you have and how much is family stories.
Have you got her on a census so we can start there? And do you know anything else about Henry?
