If this is right i.e. Lily being Annies daughter before marriage.  It is most likely that she is the child of Valdimar too.   Very exciting.  If this is right, I might actually have some relatives alive in Grimsby!  I had lost all hope of that when I was checking this all out in 2012.  Even visited Grimsby and the cemetery Valdimar and Annie are buried.  When I called the nursing home she died at, I was told by someone that remembered Annie that she had no immediate family. They must have just meant then that she had no child of her own.    Is it common that a child that is born before marriage always carries the mothers maiden name?  Even though she knows who is her father? 

The story of my great grandfather was always that he had two daughters in Grimsby..  I only found Annie so we thought that was wrong.

Hello again,

Have you found Annie in 1911 and checked her details?
Have you found Lily Boag - Annie's sister in 1911?

Heywood

Yes found both of them.   Annie E is registered with her husband Valdimar Rognvaldson and a child George Arthur born 1910 dies year later.   in Clee. Lincolnshire.   (actually it says two childs, but only one mentioned.)  Now wondering if Annie had a child out of wedlock before she married Valdimar, only speculation though.     Lily Boag 23 is registered in 1911 at Sculcoates along with a her Six week old child Doris (dies in 1930)  and a niece Lily Linford 22.  Have not found the niece yet or her parents. 

Wow,, I knew I could count on you here.  What a great community of detectives ;-)    Thank you so much.   I have got myself a subscription on ancestry.   I will use the info you have given me to get back on the right track.   I see now that I was completely out of track with the wrong Annie Linford.  (so many of them).  will get back to you when I have done a little research myself.  Again thank you all xx

Hello,  I got so much help here when I started my search for my great grandfather Valdimar Rognvaldson (from Iceland) and his daughter Annie in Grimsby  which I started in 2012.   Now I am back, I already found out in 2012 that there are no living relatives in Grimsby to visit, found out by buying a death certificate (suggested by a Rootchat member ;-)) and by calling the nursing home, a girl there remembered my aunt who died in 2000, and told me she had no immediate family.     
Ok..  thats the story..   Now I am back here since I am very stubborn.  I want to know more about him and hers family in England, want to write their story.  So I am tracing their family roots in England.

I am now at the point that I am trying to link the wife (of Valdimar Rognvaldson )her name was Annie E. Linford according to their marriage in 1909 to Lily Linford (born 1909) (married Leonard F. Kewley in 1933) who is the mother of George Robert Kewley who was an informant on my aunts Annie Rognvaldson (married Winters in 1937) death certificate in 2000.

Annie E. Linford and Lily Linford must be related with the same family name?? And with a connection to Annie Rognvaldson the daughter.

I thought I had found the right Annie E. Linford with mother Emma Linford (b.1855) and George Linford (b. 1853).   But having no luck finding Lily Linford anywhere near there, I am starting to think I have the wrong Annie E.  (so many of them).     The only thing I have found of her is the 1911 cencus where she is said to be born abt 1882 and from Hull.  And when she married Valdimar and had her daughter Annie in 1912. ie. where I can be sure I have the right woman.   Very frustrating.

 The Lily Linford I found has mother Annie Elizabeth Wright and father Arthur John Linford (b.1870-1962)   If anyone here would be able to help me the rookie with this mistery I would be so thankful.

If you are ever in Iceland, I will take you for tour. ;-) thanks, Jenny
