Possibly Susan,thankyou

Sara

Susan/Sara

That 1891 census Susan found he is a widower and his occupation is Carpenter so prob not your man.

Your man was a blacksmith.

Have you traced Frances after 1881?

Yes thankyou Gerri
Its after 1881 that I lose him and being quite new to this I get a bit confused!!!
Sara

Gerri,I have Frances and family but George was apparently he was a bit of a ladies man and left Frances!
Sara

Sara

If you found Frances...was she listed as widow or still married?

Dont worry if you dont know...i can look for you if you tell me where she was in 1891.

When was the last child born?

Thankyou for your offer of help Gerri.
ok, in 1891 I have Frances in Aldingbourne, W, Sussex. Don't know if married or widowed. Kids are Frederick Lester(from 1st marriage), Nelson Smith1883 and Frederica Ellen M Smith 1884, both Nelson and Frederica born Westhampnett.
Sara

Sorry Sara...had to do my Nanny Taxi bit....ggrrr lol

Right!
Found them on the 1891 and she is listed as Married.
The kids are a bit muddled up (mistranscribed) but looks like the youngest was born c1885. So George must have been around in 1884 ish.

Trouble is theres loads of George Henrys born around that time and place! as i suspect you already know!....and having the surname of 'Smith'....,,,Need i say more!

I really dont know what to advice you on!...sorry Sara.

Leave the thread on here and check back every now n then...Maybe someone else will take a look for you...

Gerri,
Can I ask for some advice. I have been very lucky in that I have made contact with new relatives and they have been very helpful but how do I go about finding relatives before the 1841 census. i have looked on The Weald and luckily found some on there but where else do I go?

dont know if you can help or not am trying to find my mother-in-laws parents.Their names are Francis Howard born in 1894 ? not too sure of year,in Wiltshire.Christina Chivers(maiden name) born in1889 ?not sure of year.born in Somerset we think They had 2 children,Isabell and Albert.

Hi Gerri
Could you look for Albert Charles Webster b1898 Aldershot.
I have his marriage certificate to Ellen Jones b 1900 in 1926 on that his father is given as Albert Webster deceased,a licenced victullar, would like to find out as much as is possible about him.
Thank you Margaret

Susan,

Do you know approx when Francis and Christina married?, I can't find a marriage on Free BMD.

The marriage cert would give you their father's names and occupations and help to trace them in 1901 as the only Francis born around that time was in Devon.

This could be Christina in 1891
