that looks promising! i have a possibility of thomas in 61. hes down as married but his wife isnt with him. the birth yr is 33 but thats not far out. the only thing is he is down as born in truro cornwall. that definately looks like his wife though which means that ellen had siblings! thanks

This is the only marriage for an Isabella Galsworthy (cant find a death) but it looks like there is a missing groom and I cant see her in 1891 under Cartwright or Timms....

Isabella Galsworthy abt 1860 NK Servant Ottery St Mary Devon Archibald M.H. Gray abt 1880 Ottery St Mary, Devon, England Son Ottery St Mary Devon Bessie Gray abt 1855 Exeter, Devon, England Sister Ottery St Mary Devon Frederick A.

Computer keeps crashing this morning - so lose track of Georgina's discoveries! Looked for Isabella in 1871 - guess what, can't find her either. Whole family must be dreadfully mistranscribed. Going back for another look. Update: nothing obvious for Thomas, Harriet, Isabella in 1871 - used places of birth.

arent u clever georgina, u should start charging! thomas is a widow in 81 so that fits in perfectly too. i can confirm this if i order the certificate of ellens birth as there is one on free bmd. lou

Lou sorry in 1871 & 1891 Thomas is well hidden, I was wondering if part of the Devon census was missing for 1871. Georgina.

Looby Report 7 May 2006 11:42

oh well, thanks for trying! i dont think its missing to be honest as other siblings of thomas etc are all present and correct! will keep plodding on! all your help appreciated. Lou
