Gerri The ONLY female OVERS births in 1885 anywhere in the country are Lily Ellen 2nd qtr Solihull Agnes Marian 3rd qtr Kings Norton Nothing in 1st or last qtr Lou

would it make a difference if she wasnt born in Walsall?.....I only said Walsall cos thats where she married

Lou, I can do it without using credits if you want. Crista

Gerri No Annie at all in 1884, 1885 and 1886 for the births Didn't check for just Matilda so will do that now Lou

Did you looks for a Matilda Overs on 1837online? Crista

I know me and Annie are a pain but...... Can some kind soul do a look up for me for Annie OVERS? Walsall 1885? :)))

The 1891 image actually says Overs. Crista

by the way!.....on that 1901 census she was listed as.... just annie

Have saved the image for the 1891 entry that Constance found if you'd like to have a look at it. Send email address if you would. Kath. x

I was sent a 1901 census of the OVERS family (thats if this is the correct connection) age matches that. She was 16 in 1901....this all matches up to what I already have.

Constance... Thats the best shot so far!!!! I know she was the eldest of 7 children....so you never know! I'll have to look see where that place is next to Walsall....

My grandmothers marriage certificate says she is 28 when she was actually 23, and my grandfather says he is 39 when he was 42 (have both of their birth and death certificates which prove they just lied). It doesn't help when you are trying to find them though does it???

Crista...I have found the marriage 1904 to George henry FORD. This is the 1st OVERS I have....

On 1891 census there is an entry for Matilda Annie Over age 6 born Short Heath ,Staffs.She is a visitor with the Downs family,which comprises,Joseph 32 Coal miner,Sarah Ann 21 Wife and William John age 1.All the Downs family were born in Short Heath. Could this be her?? Mary

Gerri, Have you found her on a census or do you know of any other family members? Crista

Im waiting for our friend mr postie to deliver the marriage cert any day. Dont suppose that will give me anything?

Your mum might not have known the age was wrong. My mum thought that her mum WAS 44 when she died, as that is what she had always been told.

My Mum visited that grave every month after nursing her with cancer..surly my mum would have noticed the age being wrong! gggrrr this is doing my head in! lol

Gerri Birth reg was compulsary after 1875 so assuming she didn't lie outrageously about her age, she should have been registered somewhere Lou

Have checked all of 1886 and she's not there
