Find Ancestors

Hi Brenda,

Is it your tree on ancestry? If it is I see you have Ediths birthplace as Hasford... I can't see this place, so could you give the address details off the birth certificate? What was Annie's occupation and did she register the birth?

yes thats my Grandmother. But from there she just seems to dissapear until her name appears on her childrens birth certificates
Brenda

I've also been told by my mother that Edith had a half sister Molly who lived in the same area who was younger than her but what her surname was my mother cant remember as shes no 85 and her memory is going

that should be "strange not strand sorry

she could have been married half a dozen times for all we know..she was a crafty old whatsit

Thanks Patricia that will certainly be something to go on , my cousins and I are tearing our hair out trying to find our roots.no pun intended .We have now found another child born in 1921 by one of your team a girl called Joyce in 1921 who died withing days/months.Strand she called her other daughter by Joseph Willets Eddith Joyce who always went by the name of Joyce.

On Malcolm birth certificate its says mothers name Hewer formerly Cox...where that came from we dont know .My half uncle says she married bigimously ?????who knows the true story my Aunt his sister would never talk about what she knew.

This looks like Edith Annie's family in 1901, so where is Edith?:
1901 England Census

(For background:

Could Edith Annie have married twice, original maiden name on birth certificates, but first married name showing and not maiden name on second marriage details?

For background, Brenda's Father's birth details?:
Kenneth A Edwards
Mother's Maiden Surname: Hewer Date of Registration: Jan Feb Mar 1923 Registration district: Lichfield Registration county: Warwickshire
Volume Number: 6d Page Number: 837
(The other births are Staffordshire not Warwickshire, do not think Lichfield has moved)
5 children born between 1920 and 1926.

The dates threw me alittle, so just to clarify;

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
