Help find me her home.

A couple of months back on E Bay I came across a photo of K W PLAYFORD ... it was of interest to me as this is my maiden name . I think her name must be Katherine Worth PLAYFORD b 1852 in E.Grinstead Sussex. I had hoped she would be one of mine & I could give her a home. However searching thru records she came from a line of Norfolk folk . Her father was George Frederick PLAYFORD of Marylebone London . Mother Lucy Steele .

Katherine looks as if she never married & passed away in Brighton in 1943... can we find her descendants before New Year?? Can you help me PLS???

Brilliant start Rambling - thank you .

I'm thinking the way to find blood related descendants will be to follow siblings?? Hopefully males ( as quicker & easier ) what do you think?

Campbell H died young
Constance f apparently did not marry

Debi, are you related to Laverne Coone, by any chance.
Julia in Derbyshire

George A may have been

George Armstead Playford, found a birth but not yet marriage

Hi Julia ... I've not come across that name before . It would be interesting to find out as my husbands line are very small & rumoured to be from Ireland ( poss Galway ) .

Oh Rambling - your a star .

I've found the father George Frederick Playford's probate in 1903 & he leaves his efffects to Agnes H Playford & Kathrine.... Looks as if Agnes did not marry either & dies in 1933 .

Oh dear George dies in 1864 :

This is very sad

Oh Rambling good one ..... should have looked there FIRST .. silly me !!
Two heads ALWAYS better then one .... no matter how long we've been playing at this game huh??

Going to send a message now =]

working through, Constance and Agnes were still with father in 1901 not married.

Your very quick .... I've got that many windows open Im confusing myself lol

Have messaged 2 owners now with Katharine recorded ( fingers crossed )

Lucy Ellen PLAYFORD looks like she may well have married in 1881 ... so will see what occurs on 1891 census

1881
4 AugAge: 31 Marriage to William Allen
Forest Row, Sussex, England

no children ?

I can't find them in 1891 ???

me neither, she died in her maiden name apparently

Ohhhhh how odd

Im not convinced that the death in 1915 is Lucy ( gut instinct ) Her sisters Agnes & Katherine stayed put in Sussex.... why would she die in Norfolk??

There is a Lucy PLAYFORD b 1845 wife of James in the 1901 census in Norfolk I think that death is related to her !!

Looking for her in 1901
