Find Ancestors

Oh my word I hadnt realised I had so many new replies, have been out all day today. Just reading now, will post in a min. Can I say *thankyou* to everyone who has posted.

UPDATE: This has to be my lot!! Have trawled through your amazing, wonderful work just now...thankyou so much for solving my huge mystery. Im so stunned (at how you did it as well!) that another surname was involved...how bizarre. This is brilliant, I'd thought it was a hopeless case. I will pass the info onto my aunt also, who was Eliza's granddaughter and I know she will say thankyou to you all. Am just so surprised at the College/Colledge surname, hadnt expected this! xxx

I did send RomanyStar a pm yesterday to come back to thread and take a look but she hasn't opened it yet

Thanks,Dee! I just followed your brilliant lead....

Well done!

Looks definately like the family but I wonder why the name change? Now that is going to be a real challenge especially when the surname Smith is involved!

Hi,

who did Eliza marry please?


Dee x

Potty/Flick, I wonder if it could be. There doesnt seem to be any of her siblings there which throws me a bit but the Charles/Eliza/shoe finisher bit makes sense. Theyb had 9 children, one of which had died and her name is on the census crossed out, so Im dubious that the other kids (my Isaac, Beatrice etc etc) could have been their children. I'm going to c&p this to my notes. Thankyou ladies. x

Have you considered this one - Charles is a shoe finisher. The children you mention could have been born after 1901. Might be worth following up on the 1911:
