Find Ancestors

So the birth certificate ordered - probably not her's (and how will I know if it is)?

But perhaps that's for another thread..........(or actually the original thread).

If anyone can find the family in 1871 ..........

mmmm Reggie... :-( :-(

It may simply be that they were overlooked...................it happened.

Yes Reggie...but I can't find them - any of them :-(

I haven't Reggie...not really sure that the one I have is "her"....

My husband's mother's father was John James Mead. He was widowed in 1925 and married Winifred Florence Stoddart on 06 September 1930.

I know her my mother-in-law's grandmother was Martha Stoddart and 1911 census shows her as a boarder

Not having seen the other thread about this person, I don't know whether or not you have obtained her birth cert.............

Just looked at the list of missing records for 1871................none reportedly missing for Gloucestershire

No Dea...spent days looking (as you do) and I am not really expecting anyone to find them....but that in itself is comforting (as it affirms that you are not being a dork!!!!!! :-)

Annoying thing is papa Stoddart was born in Scotland but he died in 1852 :-(

Of course, I would love to find her birth family but that's an even more impossible task!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am looking Jude as I am sure are several others but I can't see any of them yet ! :-(

My husband's grandmother was adopted between her birth in 1902 (as Winifred Florence May Ellis) and 1911 census when she is shown (in her birth name) as adopted daughter of Martha Stoddart.

Her birth family are a mystery (previous thread) but I have persevered on her adopted family. And they are ALL missing in 1871.
