My Query is,
I have an Alice Warwick born to a Richard and Sarah Warrick in 1874.
Sarah was remarried i to a Frank Brewer, alice was in this household. in the 1881 census
Richards brother Charles was married to a Elizabeth Young
Alice was adopted by a Harriet Young according to the 1901 census.
Would this adoption have been legalised, and if so where would I find a reference for this. I have searched a2a(access to the Archives with no success)
Regards Tracey

Hi Tracey,
I think legal adoption started only 1927.

Tanja,
It is interesting to note, that Alice,s mother Elizabeth died in 1878,
in 1881 she was listed as a lodger in the Flemington household.(another family name) but listed as the adopted daughter of Harriett Young in 1901.
I think Harriett is her grandmother.
Your thoughts on this please.
-
Can I amend that,
she was down as NIECE in the flemington household.
-
Hi Tracey,
I'm lost! ;D ;D
In 1881 she is age 7, born Cranborne, 'daughter' in the household of Frank and Sarah Brewer, along with a George Warwick age 5.
You say her mother Elizabeth died in 1878? I presume there is a mistake somewhere.
Are you sure she's the same person as the adopted daughter in 1901, who is 4 years out?
I can see a girl matching the 1901 census find on the 1891 census:
RG12/925 50 16
Swathling, Hampshire
John Young, head, 63, Farm servant, b. Horton Dorset
Harriet, wife, 65, b. Christchurch Hants
Alice M M Warwick, granddau, 13, b. Thru Cross Dorset
Was your Alice named Alice M M?
I can't find the record where she is a niece to Flemlingtons ???

Going back to 1881, John and Harriett have a granddaughter Alice Wood age 3 born Wimborne Dorset living with them... the mystery deepens!
-
OK, have found Alice in 1891. Given the above Alice Warwick already with the Young family in 1891, I don't think she's the same person as the adopted daughter on the 1901 census...
Tanja :)
-
Sorry to confuse you, I am even confusing myself.
Alice,s mother was Sarah Warrick(nee Flemington)
remarried Frank Brewer in 1870
Elizabeth Young was her Aunty,
Alice born in 1874. 1n 1881 Daughter in Brewer household. aged 7
1891 Niece in Flemington Household aged 17.
In 1901 Adopted daughter of Harriett Young age 23, which would make her birth date 1878. However I still tend to think this her my alice.
-
Up to you to decide but if she was mine I would rule her out, given that there are 2 Alice War(wi/r)cks in 1891, one of the right age as niece to a family you are sure of, and one a few years out already with the Young family...
Tanja :)

The mystery deepens every moment,
I am determined to get to the bottom of this.
You have given me a whole new trail to follow.
regards Tracey.

Thank you so much,

Hi
I am also interested in the Brewer family from Cranborne.
On my great great grandfather David Still/Steel's marriage certificate
it said that David Brewer was his father so I have been working away on this family to try and find out which David Brewer it was. How I wish I could go back and ask David Steel's mother Charlotte Steel who it was.
I expect she would tell me to mind my own business don't you. I wonder if you have found a David Brewer in your family tree/ Kind regards Christine
-

Hi
I have in my tree that George Brewer christened 13 Feb 1814 married 9 Dec 1841 to Cranborne Jane Miller
George was the son of David Brewer who married 19 Jan 1807 Cranborne Mary Amey born 25 Dec 1785 Cranborne died 11 Jan 1831 buried 14 Jan 1831
David Brewer then married Mary Hayward 6 June 1831.
David Brewer was the son of Phillip Brewer born 1704 Edmondsham Dorset who married 16 May 1762 St Giles
Elizabeth Hiscock they had seven children. If you wounld like more about this tree I can copy it for you
I looked for birthdates on my disks and found
Lewina Brewer christened 31 Aug 1854 Cranborne father George Brewer mother Jane. was Lanna misspelt?)
I also think that this David Brewer maybe the father of David Brewer born 1803 who was a preacher!
It must be one of these two who could be the father of my
GR GR Grandfather David Steel. but which one was it.
Don't think I will ever find out which one.
I have more of this Brewer tree if you want it.
Kind regards Christine.

Hi,
I am still trying to figure if the family I sent you, is the one related to my tree.
In the 1881 census I have
Frank Brewer 1854
Sarah Brewer 1849 Martin Wiltshire ( Nee Warwick)
Myra Brewer 1878
T John Brewer 1880
Alice Warwick
George Warwick all Cranborne
I found Alice and George in the 1901 Census However I am unable to find Myra Brewer and T John Brewer.
I did find a Frank Brewer 1851 but married to Louisa 1865 with
Ellen Brewer 1894 dght
George Brewer Brother 1841
Gilbert Brewer 1890 son
Mabel brewer Dght
at the moment I do not have access to the 1871, 1891 census
On the free bdm, there are a few Sarah Brewer deaths so I am at a loss,
Hope you can help me
Regards Tracey

Hi Tracey / Christine,
I am also researching my Brewer family from Edmondsham, Dorset.
and I note that you have a Phillip Brewer / Elizabeth Hiscock. I also have this family in my tree, but I have Phillip as beening bap. c1740 not 1704 as you say, is that a typo error ?
I can also find only five (5) children, the last one being David, (c. 1787)
If you have further info I would love to have a copy.
Regards,
Tom Brewer. bb1984@picknowl.com.au

I realise this post is sometime ago but Elizabeth Hiscock who married Philip Brewer was my ancestor, would be interested to hear from you if you are still researching this family
Thanks
Kevin
