I know there are more than one branch who favoured all the same blasted Christian names, that is not making life easy.

LiZ I'll contact them thank you.

Sue

Edit: The tree owner has the same info..lol he has disappeared.

There is a member with Nicodemus Court b. l876 on this site - any connection do you think
Liz

Could there be two different families here.Emily Adelaide having Lucy and Nicodemus.
Emily Eliza having Maud and william.
1911 Emily written her age as 46=1865 and it also says 2 children one died,Maud is with her and William died 1903.

There is no census record that I can see where they are all on together,it has been Emily and Lucy and Nicodemus or Emily and Lucy and Emily with Maud and William.

I know this doesnt help the search,but would make sense of the age differences with Emily.

Am I loosing the plot!!!!!!!

This could be Emily Eliza'a death.
Emily E Evans 1917 age 53 =1864.
Guildford 2a 240.

Edit, duplicate info lol

Hi Jill,

Yes thanks I do.

I'll look at the index too, thanks.

Sue

There's also a blacksmith's index - might help:

I take it you have this?

I have tried to apply logic (don't laugh). I am pretty sure it is Rupert. I looked for Nicodemus R, Nicodemus H, Rupert as a stand alone name and absolutely nothing.

There are later Rupert/Hubert Courts (he may well have ditched his primary name when he married) but I'd never prove it sadly.

I am leaning towards him either dying (and unrecorded) or being taken in by another family and his identity being altered completely.

I'll expand the search through the other branches of the Court family *groan*, just how many Courts can there be who are blacksmiths? Don't answer that I already know..lol
I am hoping a male child may have sneaked into a census without a birth record.

Thanks for helping

Sue

No help at all, but it's interesting to see how many folk gave their sons this biblical name on freebmd. Some weird and wacky surnames to go with them too!!

Hope you get a breakthrough Sue. Cx

Hello everyone,

Emily's parents are Richard and Lucy. The Courts are a bit of a pain because they have used the same Christian names for cousins!

There is a branch in SE London but it's not them I am tracking at the moment.

Yes her DOB does vary, I assume that's to do with the birth of her first illegitimate child and or the informant. Also where it states she is the niece of the head of household I haven't been able to confirm that yet.

It's a really strange name to land on her son! It definitely is NOT a Court family name at all. Neither is Rupert. They aren't two names that you would choose for a son without a father on the scene, it rather draws attention to him.

Thank you all for continuing to help, I really do need it and appreciate the time you are spending on it.
