all that success.... thanks Anne.

If you need bringing back to earth there is always my paternal grandfather line... ha ha ha

Sheffield White's

its a nightmare.

Happy to stick with this though, maybe look for Wallace Walters line, James M White & Hester (Esther) .......

Yes,
Thats what I guessed, but I cannot find Lettice's parents, Thomas and Martha in 1841.
Concern is that Martha could be a 2nd wife of Thomas and therefore ,not Lettice's birth mother?

hmmm, the only one that confuses here is John Gay, he is 25 on the 1841 census... meaning he was born around 1816

He must be a younger brother of Thomas Guy??

1841 censuses don't provide relationships but I think this could be Lettice with her paternal grandparents.
All other census returns say she was born in Devon, and on this 1841 return, she is the only one in this household born outside the county.
Look at grandma's name... lol

Will try to find relevant deaths now.
Anne

Anne, yes I thought that when I saw the name Gertrude....

Seems to be similar story with the name 'Lettice' further back.....

They were certainly ones for continuity of names...

Anne

That is fantastic.... I am capturing all of this into my tree, its coming really fast now.

Amazing how after 2 years of really slow progress on one line (my paternal grandfather), that this line (my paternal grandmother) is really flying....
amazing information, thank you so much

Gavin

Gavin,

Just to clarify
....Going right back to the start of this thread re Gertrude Frances White b 1913.

The child was registered in Dunfermline, Fife, rather than Dumfries.
This birth is fairly consistent with the White/Walker marriage in Dunfermline

Therefore it would seem right that Charles White had both a sister b1891 AND a daughter b1913, and both named Gertrude.

Anne

I will hedge my bet that this is Charles Walker before his marriage to Fanny/Frances Jones.

Look at his mother's name!

This family now matches with one found in DUNFERMLINE at 1911 , so it looks like the WALKER family moved north after 1901, which explains the 1913 marrige in Fife!

Your post for the family in 1891 looks spot on. Great stuff.

this looks about right too... I assume its his birth you found?

yayyyy... after so many months of banging heads against brick walls on my other thread.... this one is coming to life

Anne, this one looks like a red herring due to the dates, if its the 1901 census... Gertrude wasnt born until 1913 but this census has her at being 9yo in 1901.

Gavin,
It's not a good idea to look for a potential birth for Charles's father without more info.
It will mean wasted credits.
Although Charles and Frances married in Dunfermline in 1913,there is no indication of where Charles was born nor can I find a White/Gough marriage on SP which means they may not be Scottish.
