Thats incredible Robin, I just had a quick look at that Matida Mary and yep, the parents are a match for Mary Ann I really cant thank you enough - that is very very impressive. Many thanks. (Merry, thats another invite for the Kew do when I get the lottery up!) Thats made my day Robin. Have to dash now to pick up hubby from station. WOO HOO

They'll be turning in their Graves if you've found them!!!!! Brill stuff Robin! Hubby likes baked beans....can't say I'm esp struck, but it is VERY DANGEROUS to give them to him.......................... Merry

Just to add my tuppence LOL going on what Merry reckons is on the census... Surrey St Georges ( on next line) Southwark there is actually a St George The Martyr church listed under Southwark on the find a church site....... but no details about it... And i know it won't hlep if you can't get there but LMa appear to have lots of records from ST George the martyr....... including..... LONDON BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK 1834 Mar - 1837 Jun X092/035 SAINT GEORGE THE MARTYR, BOROUGH HIGH STREET, SOUTHWARK Register of baptisms LONDON BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK 1837 Jun - 1840 May X092/035 SAINT GEORGE THE MARTYR, BOROUGH HIGH STREET, SOUTHWARK Register of baptisms LONDON BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK 1840 May - 1844 Oct X092/035 SAINT GEORGE THE MARTYR, BOROUGH HIGH STREET, SOUTHWARK Register of baptisms LONDON BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK 1844 Oct - 1848 Jan X092/036 SAINT GEORGE THE MARTYR, BOROUGH HIGH STREET, SOUTHWARK Register of baptisms LONDON BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK 1848 Jan - 1854 Jan X092/036 SAINT GEORGE THE MARTYR, BOROUGH HIGH STREET, SOUTHWARK Register of baptisms

I blame it on Rallphie Val. Wow Roger, the more I look at them, the more I am becoming convinced. Thats the first blatant name change Ive ever had! Right, I will try for the Mary Ann in Southwark as she is my direct ancestor. If it comes through, I kiss your feet! Many thanks indeed, I really appreciate you beavering away behind the scenes there.

Heather are you saying I would be pleased I am not your neigbour at the moment then ???

Jane, I gave it a rest cos I fed up with them, but dear Robin seems to have taken over in my break! Val, I had some of the Heinz Mean Beanz the other night - er dont.

Blow me Robin, you have put a lot of effort in on my behalf, thanks very much. Incredibly kind of you! Do you really reckon this is that lot - dont they seem to play about with pob?? And never ever though of them changing their name. Which cert shall I go for?

PLEASE stop talking about food you have made me starving.I just love Baked Beans on Toast, have you tried the new ones with Branston ??? if you have not dont bother you cannot even taste it buy the plain ones and put your own in .Yummy

How's it going 'H'? Any luck yet janey

found John as well. Catherine will be too early, so this is the set 1839 Apr-Jun Graves, Emma, Westminster 1 350 1841 Jan-Mar Graves, Mary Ann, St Saviours 4 501 1843 Jan-Mar Graves, George, Westminster 1 433 1847 Jan-Mar Graves, John, Hackney 3 184 IGI's got baptisms for a Thomas Edward and Matilda Mary who could be older siblings, looking at the ages there's room for some

Thats very kind of you. I cant find the siblings either - as you say, wonder if it were a name change? Have to think about this one.

the transcription is a mess. Catherine, Emma, George are all St Margaret's Westminster, and John is Hackney. But I can't blame Ancestry for Graves instead of Groves, because it does say Graves. There's a birth for Mary Ann Graves 1st qtr 1841 St Saviours, not quite spot-on but very close. And there are births for Emma Graves and George Graves in Westminster in the right years. Is it possible they went off Graves and changed their name?

Ill go for the sibling Merry, one of them must turn up. Thanks everyone - STEVE, on to two large scoops of double choc chip icecream now.

It had it's own reg district in the 1840's, but I have looked three years so far and zilch...... :o(( Merry

You know, that right, its hard to read but it is Surrey St George Southwark. Still, doesnt help does it!!! Actually that does teach me or remind me not to take ancestrys transcriptions as gospel.

Course you do.....silly me!! M x

Thanks Merry, but I now have the facilities to access 1851, since it was added to ancestry - off there now >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If you PM me your email addy I'll send it to you..... Merry

Do you know Merry I dont think Ive ever looked at the image, I got this info long ago : 1851: Mistranscribed as Graves. Catherine E Groves abt 1836 St Margaret, Middlesex, England Daughter Shoreditch Middlesex Emma Groves abt 1839 Finningsute West Smith, Middlesex, England Daughter Shoreditch Middlesex George Groves abt 1843 St Margaret, Middlesex, England Son Shoreditch Middlesex John Graves abt 1847 Hucking, Middlesex, England Son Shoreditch Middlesex Mary Ann Groves abt 1805 St James, Middlesex, England Wife Shoreditch Middlesex Mary Ann Groves abt 1841 St George in the East, Surrey, England Daughter Shoreditch Middlesex Sarah Groves abt 1786 Romford, Essex, England Grandmother, Grandma Shoreditch Middlesex Thomas Groves abt 1804 Ingetestone, Essex, England Head Shoreditch Middlesex STEVE, and I grated Seriously Strong Cheddar over the hot beans, so it sort of melts into a nice stringy mess.

I don't think it does say St George in the East...... Doesn't it say: Surrey, St George (and on the next line) Southwark ?????????????????????????????????????????? Merry
