The address in the 61 is Steep Hill,which just fits nicely with the address for Marthas father and sister in the later census. The Lincoln census are all St Swithins,St Mary Le Wigford and the High St/The Strait/Steep Hill (about 600 yds worth of them anyhow) Time to do an index sheet or two methinks. Thanks to everyone for your help.It is much appreciated. Glen

1841?? Ann Chambers abt 1811 Lincolnshire, England St Swithin Lincolnshire Eliza Chambers abt 1834 Lincolnshire, England St Swithin Lincolnshire John Chambers abt 1806 Lincolnshire, England St Swithin Lincolnshire Joseph Chambers abt 1836 Lincolnshire, England St Swithin Lincolnshire Louisa Chambers abt 1838 Lincolnshire, England St Swithin Lincolnshire William Chambers abt 1826 Lincolnshire, England St Swithin Lincolnshire Address Grantham Lane

The marriage cert does show John as father. I have just found that 51 census image, 1861 Ann 1818 Head Charlotte 1850 daur >>>>George 1842 Son Luisa 1838 Daur William 1823 Son 1841 Ann 1811 Eliza 1834 >>>John 1806 Joseph 1836 Louisa 1838 William 1826 George and Marthas' daur Lilly was in fact Lilly Louise,so maybe that is an omen too. Glen

1851 This looks like Eliza and brother Joseph with a few other siblings. From the marriage certificate is George's father John? Ann Chambers abt 1801 Wragby, Lincolnshire, England Head Lincoln St Martin Lincolnshire Charlotte Chambers abt 1848 Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England Daughter Lincoln St Martin Lincolnshire ..............> Eliza Chambers abt 1834 Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England Daughter Lincoln St Martin Lincolnshire .............> Joseph Chambers abt 1837 Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England Son Lincoln St Martin Lincolnshire William Chambers abt 1823 Minting, Lincolnshire, England Son Lincoln St Martin Lincolnshire Address 3 Hungate Court.

Try this for George overload then 1881 George Chambers abt 1844 Lincoln Brother George H.Chambers abt 1869 Lincoln nurse child George W Chambers abt 1876 Lincoln Nephew George Graby abt 1831 Lincoln Head Eliza Graby abt 1834 Lincoln Wife Joseph Chambers abt 1841 Brother 10 Moor st St Mary Le Wigford RG11/3240 Glen (now looking in the 51 for Eliza unmarried and possibly George abt 1844)

No i didn't have that one,seems like trying to get rid of the George Graby from my thoughts was the total opposite to what was needed. Someone is definately on a roll this afternoon.LOL Glen

Don't know if you already have this but here is the marriage for George Graby to Eliza Chambers, George Chambers sister. Surname First name(s) District Vol Page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages Dec 1854 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...........>Chambers Eliza Lincoln 7a 925 Coulson Elizabeth Lincoln 7a 925 Gilbert William Lincoln 7a 925 ...........>Graby George Lincoln 7a 925

This all started because George Graby was witness to the Martha Elmer/George Chambers wedding! I think the best thing i can do is print the whole of St Mary Le Wigford from the 1901,then highlight where each one went visiting!!!!! The other witness was Jane Browning,and Martha's sister married a Browning!!!So many weddings connected to the one certificate in one way or another Thanks again Glen

I notice the George Chambers(nephew) that was living with George Graby and wife Eliza(Chambers) in 1881 also gave some of his children the Graby name. The family were obviously very grateful to him for taking them in, also I notice they never had children of their own. Looks like this George is brother Joseph's son? Sure are a lot of George's! I have the same George problem with my Shemwell family, good job I have Shemwell as a surname though. 1901. Florence Graby Chambers abt 1899 Lincolnshire, England Daughter St Mary le Wigford Lincolnshire .........> George Henry Chambers abt 1879 Lincolnshire, England Head St Mary le Wigford Lincolnshire Nellie Graby Chambers abt 1896 Lincolnshire, England Daughter St Mary le Wigford Lincolnshire Sarah Jane Chambers abt 1874 Billinghay, Lincolnshire, England Wife St Mary le Wigford Lincolnshire Sarah Jane Chambers abt 1894 Lincolnshire, England Daughter St Mary le Wigford Lincolnshire

Hi Helen I just re-read the thread and saw the burial details you posted,i'm away to Lincoln this weekend so i'll take a look. Maybe it will answer the question (even though the cert is on the way) Glen

And his death is in the following quarter,i have ordered the birth cert,just to see how and why the Chambers/Graby connection occurs. Glen

Here's the birth to go with the death Helen found. Births Dec 1896 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chambers George Graby Lincoln 7a 539

Nice work!! I worked out the line for Martha and all her Georges' (dad,uncles,cousins etc). I suppose i got 'Georged out' and kept getting thrown by the George W and the George Groby refernce. I'll have a bash for the death cert with the ref you found (both Lincoln and the GRO quoting mid June delivery though so who knows we might know one way or the other) Thanks for your help Glen

I'd just found the Graby name and wondered where it fits in. There's this death from NBI George Graby Chambers Abode St Mary le W,Newland St West Buried 02/04/1897 Age 4m Cemetery Lincoln, Canwick Road Plot A2594 So it must be a family name.......but the right family? Could this be a son for George William and Clara?

On the 1901 with Edward and Ernest I think they may have got their ages the wrong way around. This looks like Ernests birth. Births Sep 1891 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAMBERS Ernest Graby Lincoln 7a 518

It might be that George died just before census night. Deaths Jun 1901 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chambers George 58 Lincoln 7a 285

To confirm Helen found the right Edward in 1901. Sister Elizabeth's marriage, also if you look at the image they are living next door to George W. Chambers, their brother.

Hi folks The Ernest G mentioned isn't a known child at present. The details for Martha posted are correct,visitor to the Harley household. The three known children (all certs obtained) are as follows Frederick 27/01/1886 Edward Charles 30/08/1889 Lilly Louise 12/01/1888 Parents to the above are George Chambers/Martha Thorbon Chambers (nee Elmer) Marriage cert for George to Martha 02/03/1885 George quotes age as 42 and is a widow Martha quotes 30 and spinster (she born 1855 have cert) 1ST Marriage for George was to Ellen Broughton (c 1845 birth) It's Edward and George in the 1901 that have eluded me so far.
