Suffolk Lookup Requests / Looking for Parents of James Tovell B 1811, Darsham, Suffolk
« on: Thursday 20 March 25 17:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, I am looking to continue my tree following My 4th Great Grandfather who I believe was James Tovell, Born:1811 Darsham, Suffolk, England, Died:17 Apr 1888 Blything, Suffolk.
Married Mary Dale 12 Nov 1831 • Darsham, Suffolk, England.

I cannot find any records of his birth, just census and Marriage data.

Ancestry tries to give me his father as Thomas Tovell b.1786 from Norfolk but 1841/1851 census data from Mistley, Essex doesn't match well. He Married Sarah Ainger on 13 Mar 1810

The marriage data online doesn't list the father/parents.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Kent Lookup Requests / Whatever happened to Edmund Lee b. 1790?
« on: Saturday 31 January 15 21:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there. I have come to a brick wall trying to trace my ancestor Edmund Lee who married Ann Broad of Erith.  I have a marriage record but then nothing in the 1841 census for him. His wife Ann is found living with Thomas Hate in the 1841 census and then they get married in 1847.
I found a death record or 2 for Edmund Lee at st Saviour Southwark and the Strand, London in 1841 which could be him bit it was after the 1841 census.  I also found records for an Edmund Lee in prison in 1836 and again in 1837. Looks like poor removal law.
I also have no idea who his parents were. Most Edmund Lee baptisms are from Lancashire.

Thanks in advance.

Only because Harry lists 2 children, 1 living and 1 dead. Milly lists 1 child living. 0 dead.

Oh wow. Thanks so much. I've been searching ancestry.com all day and didn't find those 2. I did however find Millie staying with her sister at school road welling in 1911. Family name was Watson and Millie spelled Milly with Daughter Milly age 1.  Census says only 1 child born so Harry must have had a child with a prior relationship.

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Cmpleted: Harry Mills of Welling/Bexley Heath, Kent
« on: Saturday 10 January 15 03:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, looking to trace the family of Harry Mills born approx 1889 in Welling, Kent.  Son of George and Susan nee Taylor.  He shows up in the 1891, 1901 and 1911 census at 7 Danson Lane, Welling, Kent with his parents and 2 brothers and it shows him as married with 1 living child and 1 who had died.  However I cannot find a marriage record or birth records for either him or his child/ren.
I know he owned a nursery (shows in kellys directory) and my living relative remembers him and his son (Sammy) owning a nursery in the late 1940s - 1950s.

Anyone able to find more information? or know any living relatives?

thanks in advance

Now I'm more confused (I think from the two thomas's being born same year same place).  I think I now have mixed up both Thomas's  as I have Thomas marrying Elizabeth Rumball, Living with Elizabeth Pittis and marrying Mary Ann Eaves/Eves (nee Prescott).  I have no idea which of the following is my Thomas Mills.  I know my ancestor George Mills was born in a cottage that used to stand behind/within the nursery at Welling.
A number of times Thomas's age seems to fluctuate so maybe im following a third Thomas Mills!

1841  Alice 0         Thomas 20  Elizabeth Rumball 20  (could be wrong thomas)
1851  George 6     with Grand Parents Thomas Sarah
1851  Alice 10      Visiting Robert 25 and Elizabeth 30 (Could Elizabeth have left Thomas) and Louisa 1
1861  George 15 1846  Thomas 43 Elizabeth Pittis 29
1861  Census Alice Mills 20  John Cohen 24
1860 Oct  Marriage  Alice 20  John Cohen 24  Thomas Mills (Gardener) listed
1865  Elizabeth Pittis 33 dies
1866 Oct   Thomas 48 Widower  Mary Eves 30 Widow nee prescott
1871 Thomas 45  Mary 33  (Age goes backward)
1881  Thomas 63   Mary 42  Alice 18  Charles 17  2 lion Road

Kent / Indian in family history??
« on: Tuesday 04 November 14 00:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, there has always been a family legend that on my mother's side there was a person of Indian origin.  That tree goes back via Fanny Parris and her husband George Broad and then George Parris and Eleanor Fremlin.  So far I haven't found anyone born outside of Britain.  Does anyone have any information to support this rumour??  Were there many people of Indian ancestry in this area of Britain in the 1700-1800s?
