Hi Catherine. That's the information I have. Shows my mother Nellie (13 Dec 1910 - have her birth certificate so shows how census ages and birthdates can be out by 1 year either way), and my Aunty Win.

Must say I do not understand the huge difference in dates on birth re. 1881 and 1911 censuses?

What does appear to work out (almost but with the usual 2 year variation in DoB) is the possibility that An who was married to Frederick Fountain, remarried John Burnham by 1881. On that basis the Burnham children with the exception of the youngest became her step children?

I dont see the connection - where does Burnham come in ?

Henry fountain is then too old- his birthdate would be wrong

Thanks Catherine. Do not think that is him. However Ann of GG may have hit the mark.

Thank you Ann of GG. Excellent!!

It does look very promising. Did not think of 'step' relations. That's where searching via censuses etc. come unstuck.

Explains why when making searches the 'Fountain' part only comes up from 1911. Now to work out whether Henry was John or Ann Burnham's son from an earlier marriage. :-)

1881 - could this be a connection?

Looking for more information on, and ancestors of, Henry Fountain NEWMAN. Born c1883. Believed born in Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire. He married Winifred Ellen FAWDRY (from Witney, Oxfordshire). They had 2 daughters, Winifred b.c1908, and Nellie b.1910.

He was my mother's, (Nellie's), father. `have successfully traced the Fawdry side, but have drawn a blank with Henry. Can not find any of his siblings yet alone parents.

Many thanks for any help anyone can give.
