Find Ancestors

I am wondering whether there are any descendants my great grandparents family who are on this site?

My maternal g.grandparents were Mary Brown (nee Cox) born 1861, and Thomas Brown born 1859, both born in Thame, Oxfordshire. They married in 1882 in Chelsea

Their children were:

Maud, born 1891
John, born 1892 (my grandfather)
Elizabeth (Bess), born 1896
Joe, born 1899
Lydia, born 1900
Tom, born c1902

All were born in Battersea, South London.

Bess married Walter Bolton and had two children, Betty and Bill (born mid-late 1920s). They lived in Orpington, Kent.

Joe married Rose (do not know her maiden name), and they had three children, Patricia, Stanley and Joan (or Joanne), all born mid-late 1920s, or possibly early 1930s, in Battersea, London.

Tom married (do not have wife's name), and they had Tommy and Peggy, again mid-late 1920s, probably born Battersea.

Lydia married and moved to USA, and had one daughter, Yvonne.

Maud married and had one son, who died at about age 12-14.

If anyone recognises any of this info, would be pleased to hear from you.

Thanks,
Barbara.

To Tracey - thanks for info re Maud - yes, I think she must have been Alice Maud as all the info tallies.

So from the records your Maud is actually Alice Maud and Elizabeth is actually Mary Ann Elizabeth & Thomas was born c1905 not c1902.

You need accurate data to be able to find people for marriages/ Deaths etc.

...and lastly, from the 1911 census data the mother declared 29 Years married, 8 children born alive 6 still live and 2 have died.

Tracey - thanks for all the info from the 1911 census - very much appreciated, and it will help me a lot.

I do have a copy of my g.grandparents marriage certificate, but thanks for offering to email a copy.

Barbara.

Have you put any of those names through the search trees on here to see if anyone has them in their tree.
