You were so great at finding things before, I thought I would ask you again. I am looking for a Mabel Crosby,Born in 1888 in County Cork, she apparently came to England at the age of 17 as a ward of court(?) She later married a James Albert Warren, and had several children, one of whom was another James Warren. He was born in 1912. I have no date of birth for James Albert. I think they may have been living in Tottenham. I have looked at every census and BMD records I can find, and come up empty. I have no idea where to look next. I have not been researching for long, have I somehow missed them? The only other information I have is that Mabel was in some way linked to the Guiness family ( Illegitimate?) Would you be kind enough to help me again? By the way, she died in 1968 aged 80.

How odd. I always thought it was Crosby. Have you got a date of death for poor old James Albert?

Yes, I havent got a birth cert for James, dont know who his parents were. Mum in laws family are very retcent, but mum in law herself would love to know her ancestry, but we got so little verbal information from the family.

I was meaning James the son

You'll be best to get the M/C for James & Mabel to see what his dads name & occupation was.....& an age for James himself

Mummycool Report 2 Apr 2009 13:07

Lindsey, I reckon that might be her. It doesnt help that we thought her name was Crosby Sorry I am a bit slow with the answers, My keyboard is playing up.
