Hi Sophie

I am looking for details of my GGP's parents. This is the information i hold about my GGP's:

GGF - Alfred Lidington - born 1894 - died 1854 (in cornwall we believe) but lived in London. Married Harriet (one "t")Grace Cook in 1915.

GGM - Harriet was born in Holborn, London in 1893. Died 1977 on Isle of Wight

They had a son called Alfred Joseph Lidington in 1917 and he married Lilian Caket in Shoreditch.

I am trying to look for ways of finding the family names and surnames of both but not having much luck. I know i could pay for certs but trying to do as much as poss without paying!!

Any help would be good.

Thanks in advance

Carol

Im afraid the only marriage I found for Eliza Hill in Birmingham was a Joseph Adams...and no fathers were displayed for both of them...do u know when Eliza and Joseph was born and where?....I could look up their birth for you and i might be in luck with have the parents of both of em.

Regards

Carol

Well i found a possible match for george in the 1901 census but he was a servant living with another fmaily...but i did look for a marriage date for george and happen to find one:

Gripton Harriet Amelia King's N 6c 787

Hi Sophie,
Trying to find anything about William Henry Billard born about 1867 and his partner (dont think they married) Sarah Battley. They had 10. children Hilda Q to Sept 1888 called Battley not Billard, Jane/Jennie 1890, John, Annie, Ethel, Emma, Emily, Ada, Harry Arthur . I think there was one more but no one knows his name. William Henry had a file shop in Burnaby Street Sheffield. Have got most of the kids birth years except the youngest boy, but dont know where Sarah or William Henry originated. Not sure if this is too little information, just thought Id try.
Thanks
June

Many thanks and kindest regards

hi sophie
This is so kind of you

Would you mind looking for a Rosina Osborne born in Bournemouth . (On the 1901 census it has her aged 25 so her year of birth would be circa 1876)

Her marriage record has her listed as Rose
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Also if Im not being really cheeky I want to find my gg grandad whose name is Albert James Gregory and was born in Radstock 1874 (aged 27 in 1901)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Ive been trying for ages and am doing something wrong

Thanks so much

Thanks for that info - I am,however, not convinced that is the right Harriet as we have no knowledge of her having a twin and the Betty Cook would have been her twin as she is the same age. Harriet lived til she was in her 80's so i am sure there would have been some mention of her and she was deffo born in 1893. Her Birth record comes up top on Ancestry but it is weird as to why there are no census records on her or Alfred. I have addresses for them both for later years but i guess they are no use yet either due to the privacy of the Census past 1901.

I do know that my GGF Alfred Lidington was a Sheet Metal Worker.

Thanks for anything else you can find.

Sophie,

I would be most grateful if you could come up with anything on - my Grandfather and Great grandfather

William Harris found on census 1881 age 19 has him living with mother Ann age 58, siblings Benjamin age 14 Jane age 17

Parish Risca, St. Near Yew Tree
Reg- Newport, Sub- St woolsos, ED 12

William is a well travelled boy after this census-
Australia and back, marriage Battersea 1888 to Helen Jane Connel - back to Risca Monmouth, first child Helen Ann Harris 1889 at Risca Monmouth and then back to Australia with new family in 1890 to stay.


I am most interested in -
The father also known as William born abt 1818/1820 seems to have past away I think abt 1874 so not on census of 1881

this William Harris said to be born in Basselleg, Rogerstone, Newport, and Risca in Monmouth
(getting very confused as I don't know the Area)

Ann- (born Carmarthenshire1881 census age 58) makes her born abt 1823 death abt 1910
said to be local Mid-wife from family story

dont have a marriage date for William and Ann

anything on this family would be gratefully received
and much appreciated
I hope all this makes sense
Regards ............Lois from OZ
