It does say single but........
She could have come over to England to work in service? Then it's very difficult to track her down.
Do you know if Irish women could have been called up to the services during WW1?

Thanks Shane
These are indeed my ancestors. The problem is where is Anastasia before 1911 census? She would have been about 19.
I have also trawled through the English Census and can't find her until she married my grandfather in 1919.
That's why I am intrigued about being disowned by her family.
I have had a tremendous amount of help from another forum member who it turns out is my relative!
Thank you for your prompt reply and research

Waterford / Anastasia Donohoe from Abbeyside Dungarvan
« on: Thursday 09 June 11 21:30 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I am trying to find out about my grandmother Anastasia. The surname could also be O'Donoghue and any other variant. My Great Grandfather was Captain John O'Donoghue. he was married to Katherine Phelan/Whelan.
I have her birth as c. 1882. She married in Dover many years later.

My problem is that, between her birth and marriage ,I cannot find her on any Census.
I heard a rumour that she had married 'beneath' her, a farmhand?

I hope someone can enlighten me - long shot.

I have resumed my family tree search after 6 months away from it as it was taking up too much of my time and money (Paul I will get back to your email)
Thank you

Hi Viv,

As far as I know, she wasn't Catholic, but she died before any of my living relatives were old enough to know her.

The only other thing I know is that she was working as a servant in Croydon, London, in 1901. That's everything I have, I'm afraid. Would recent information be of any use? Like when she died, the children she had, etc?

Hi Viv,

Her father's name was Wilhelm. On the marriage cert it says he was a mechanical engineer, but I have a UK census record from 1891 which I'm pretty sure is them, and it says he was a sword worker. He would have been born around 1860.

I think her family moved to England in the early 1880s, but they must've moved back in the 1890s, because I can't find any record of her father, mother (also called Annie) or brother (also called Wilhelm) after that.

Thanks so much for your help, I hope we can find something!

Gill.

I am looking for some help regarding Annie Barbara Muller who was born in Solingen around 1882.
She married William Robert Rundle on 26 October 1903 in Edmonton, Middlesex, England.

Anyone know of this lady or her family, either in Germany or England?

Thanks

Good morning
My grandmother has been quite elusive.
She married Peter Gisby in Dover Kent in 1919

They had two children:
Kathleen Emily - my mother
B. 18 Feb 1920
D. 9 Oct 1997
Annie (Nancy) C  Gisby
B. Apr-Jun 1922
D. ?

Peter Gisby died Jan-Mar 1958.
He was a farm labourer and lived all his life in the Dover area.
I don't yet know why he died but I am sure that I would have heard of an explosion

I can't find more information about Nancy but I know she died before my mother.
Nancy had a daughter whose name I have forgotten

I didn't see much of my grandmother as we weren' t very close.

My mother had four children in all
Christina A b. 1945 d. 1945 only a few weeks old
Michael Peter b. 1942
Barbara Anne b. 1951
Me - Gillian Elizabeth b. 1955

Lots of rumours about the Irish family........
1.Anastatia was ostracised by the family because she married a Protestant
2.Bridget went to America
3.The family owned a coal shipping company

My daughter has found Anastatia on a census working in a hotel in Tooting London. I'll ask her for some more information if you like

I have to get ready for work now.
Bye

Thank you Shane
This is just the weather for sitting in the warm and on the laptop.
At the moment I am back to the early 1900s to find my Irish roots in Dungarvan
I am very grateful
Gill
