Find Ancestors

Zoe the image Carolyn kindly sent me shows that there is an Abraham jeffries living in Hereford st in 1871 wiht a wife Jane. This may be my lot but????? how can i find Isaac and Mary in 1871 just trawl thru the christchurch diistrict of St Marylebone???? Come on Zoe don't give up now PLEASE Shelli

Jackie enjoy what the bickering etc ???? and as i only i have one daughter i shall up hold tradition and only pay for the daughters wedding lol the boys can fend for themselves lol Shelli

Crista it looks fairly certain that the first letter is a G not an A. BUt could the priest have misheard???? Shelli

You are supposed to be enjoying your children during the summer hols, Shelli!!! Just bear in mind .... they do eventually grow up, leave home at 30 or cost you £10.000 for a wedding!! Yes - found HM and have his death (ha, ha!!) in 1939. Did you get my email? Jackie

Shelli, Does his name look like Augustus? An Augustus Meybruck married an Elisabeth Brunt in 1940 in Paddington. Crista

hello Jackie all is fine here,( except sch hols:-(( ) hope u all ok and finding those rellies LOL You may be right this cert has gotta eb the worst one i have ever had not only is it all squiggly writing, it's faint and fuzzy as well :-((((( maybe it is Sailor not tailor, i have looked at this cert so many times am sure it's imprinted on my eyeballs Thats why i raised this am hoping fresh eyes will what i'm missing Shelli

Hi Shelli Sure it doesn't say Sailor!!!! I had the same on a marriage certificate when we knew he was a mariner and couldn't understand why it said tailor (it's that rotten handwriting they had)Someone couldn't transcribe ye olde fashioned scrawl! Jackie PS Hope all's well

Zoe the epsom district birth is Isaac Jnr son, this i know cos i found them in 1901 can't find Robert tho the direct ancestor( but we think he may be away fighting as i have picture of him in uniform he reappears back in 1906 to get married) On the marriage cert in 1866 Mary's father is a tailor so a change to mariner of any type would be a big career change wouldn't it???? I can't read his name tho it looks like Guthaous Mybrook Come on you can't be out of ideas yet ;-)))))))))) Shellixx

right thats me all out of ideas. dunno if any of that was helpful - but I had fun finding it anyway Z xx

this is the rest of the family for the mariner in 1871: Elizabeth Maybrook 54 Wainfleet, Lincolnshire, England Wife St Mary Stratford le Bow London Walter Bochard Maybrook 3 Bow, Middlesex, England Grandson St Mary Stratford le Bow London William Maybrook Maybrook 29 Deptford, Kent, England Son St Mary Stratford le Bow London - widow - clerk William Richard Maybrook 56 Ratcliff, Middlesex, England Head St Mary Stratford le Bow - ???? mariner

I'm just gonna keep chucking this stuff at you as I find it. Tell me whem you've had enough: Jeffries, Albert Maybrooke 1893 March Births Epsom Surrey 2a 16

Shelli theres definitely more hits for Maybrook/Maybrooke - but not loads. I bet if you could figure out the handwriting for her dads name that bit of the family would be really easy to track down

only possible father I can see on ancestry so far is: William Richard Maybrook 56 Ratcliff, Middlesex, England Head St Mary Stratford le Bow London but his occupation is down as a E???? Mariner thats searching maybrook*

Carolyn replied many thanks Zoe i do have Robert birth cert but of course in the junk that i call a computer desk/filing system i can't find it If i recall correctly then on somethings it is splet Maybrook, Isaac jnr ( rob's older brother) has the middle name of Maybrooke Any good ideas??? Shelli

Shelli Just done a search on ancestry for the surname Mybrook and the ONLY hit in the whole system for that surname is your Mary E's marriage. It may be that the registrar has taken her name down wrong or was a bit deaf. DOn'y know what to do next tho - have you any of her kids' birth certs to compare the spelling?? Zoe

I've checked everyone called isaac born Marylebone aged 20 - 25 in the 1871 and there no obvious family grups that would make me think they've been mistrasncribed. Just going through everyone called Jeff* born marylebone update - nothing for Jeff*

Shelli, I have sent you an e-mail. Carolyn

Carolyn you know what you may have something there, as i can read Abraham's occupation on his son's marrage cert in 1866 but it may just be brush maker. NOw you've said it it makes sense LOL Thank you so much Shelli

Sorry, I had a good look but no luck!

Hi Shelli I had a quick look n the 1871 census and could only find Abraham Jefferys Hd 43 Brush Maker born Wiltshire Jane " W 52 Monmouth Jane " G-d 6 Marlebone Alice Cunins Ncld 7 Marylebone If you think these could be yours, I've saved the page and could try and send it to you tomorrow. Must get to bed now. Carolyn
