Thanks for that. I don't know about the first child born but she had a son David Harold Llewellyn  born 13 Aug 1919.

Monmouthshire / Daisy May Crewe

Morning All,

I'm looking for info on a Daisy May Crewe's parents,  my husbands grandmother. She was borne around 1885 and Married a David John Thomas in 1915 in Newport Monmouthshire.

I can find a single Daisy May in the records but not sure she is the correct one. I have found evidence of the marriage into the Thomas family but can't tie it to the Daisy May I seen in other trees and can't find any info on her parents to tie it in. Looks like I may have to send for Marriage Certificate.

Thanks for reading.

My latest copy of my tree was dumped yesterday when my usb drive went kaput!  I do have a back up but can't seem to find my working copy of notes so need to search my old pc.

I know the name Elizabeth Jacklyn rings a bell.

Thank you so much for your efforts this has helped me greatly.

Thank you Suz. I read the 1891 transcript were it said he was 10 I can see now reading the census itself it does say 20. You could well be correct as as I know in general, being pregnant before marriage at that time wasn't frowned upon as such but giving birth out of wedlock certainly was.

I think my brain is addled today!

I never have found Mary A in 1891 but my interest has certainly been renewed today - thanks again.

Mary Ann Little was their mother.
In the 1891 census they are called Little age 1 and John is aged 10. In the 1901 census they called Dowlman and John is down as their father aged 20, he was 10 yrs younger than Mary Ann.

I can only assume at this point that they were lodgers in 1891 and Mary Ann married the son.
Florrie was my grandmother but she died in 1930. Minnie her twin moved into the family home and brought up my mother and her 4 sisters.

Thanks Suz, thats helpful not sure why I didn't find them in the 1901 census.

Yep that's the family. I did get the YOB incorrect.  Florrie & Minnie were twins but so I'm not sure of their paternity. I have their birth certificates and no father is named. It's some what of a mystery as they sometimes called themselves Dowlman and other times Little.

Looking for info on John Dowlman born around 1850 in Fulstow Lincs. He married Mary Ann Little whose father was the miller at Waltham Windmill nr Grimsby.

I can't seem to find any details about his parents or beyond.

Any info - pointers welcome.

Pam.

I learnt my lesson 2 yrs ago when I lost the HDD on a 7mth old laptop. Since then I always use an USB flash drive and I back that up to another external HDD. Please I did this last week as my USB went kaput this morning.
