Hi,
I am really hoping that one or more read this and make a connection. I am currently trying to complete this family tree which has thrown all kinds of problems at me. I live in Middlesbrough, my paternal grandmother always told us that she really didn’t know who she was. And that is kind of true...she believed she was born Lilian Fenton and after a lot of delving we found her born as Lilian Nair!!!! I am assuming that anyone who has attempted this family tree has uncovered the almost impossible task of collating this. I have read previous posts which have helped me a great deal and firstly would like to thank those people who have done some of this homework. I would greatly appreciate any of you would contact me with any stories we could share and even photographs which would be fantastic. Apparently this was a circus family and I have tried so hard to get photographs for my father. Please, if anyone has the time to get in touch to share our information, again I would appreciate this greatly.
Thank you

Hi
Thank you for the reply, I have managed to gather quite a bit of information from previous posts on here. There were a few members who seem to have other information and photographs so I am hoping that they are this.

You should click on the names of the people who asked about the family before and this will take you to their profile which will show how long it is since they were online.
If they aren't still active on RootsChat they are unlikely to see this thread, so you could either post to the thread they started or sent them a Personal Message.

Request re the birth on there but no reply.
Is this the birth
Lily Nair mmn Sharland September quarter 1914 Middlesbrough vol 9d pg 1147

Hi
Yes, that’s it. She was born in July and her father Albert Nair died in june 1914
-
There is no marriage for an Albert Nair/Sharland and the Albert Nair who died in 1914 was 64yrs old
-
The age fits in with censuses.
Nicola,
Your family information seems to be across a couple of threads.
Do you have enough information from that earlier thread?
Are you just looking for photos now? I am not sure what you are looking for.

The children were registered as Fenton mmn Sharland so her mother never married Albert Nair
-
Carole,
I think that was deduced on an earlier thread. Albert had a wife Caroline in earlier censuses.
I have just read through the longish one which Nicola has seen about the family - mainly pre 1901.
Annie F Nair married in 1916.

Cheers Heywood
Sounds as though it would be best if all threads were merged to avoid duplication
-
They never married and he was not 64 when he died. He was older!!
-
Nicola,
What information are you looking for - is it descendants and photos?
It is no use our searching and posting information you already have

I have the very basic information, it is most helpful when others are researching the same family as they could have photographs and information that have been in their family. I have tried to look for advertisements etc for the circus that my ancestors were employed but I’m not really getting anywhere with that. I do not have any photographs of my grandmothers family other than her brothers Percy and Eugene.
