Title: Chelmsford (RUNTER)
Post by: Kriti on Wednesday 28 January 09 21:01 GMT (UK)

Hi again
My paternal Gmother was Emily RUNTER.
I've spent some time foraging for her family, but they seem to be absent from all the census records that I've checked.
I have Emily's parents and also several other Runters from BMDs, who are probably connected but I don't yet know how.

This is a long shot but has anyone found stray Runters while looking for other names?
 I'd be grateful for any mentions, anywhere.

Hi Kriti

Looks like Emily's parents were George and Elizabeth Runter. I found them in the 1901 census. George is a 49 year old plumber and his wife is aged 48. Emily is aged 15 so born c1886.

Thanks for that they are indeed Emily's parents. I obviously missed them completely.

Hi

I have often wrongly missed ancestors yet all the time they are staring us in the face.
