I love unusual names, we have Ocean, Gerainium, Sender in our family. I'd love to know how they came about.

yes Tom and Louisa had their son Owen in 1869 - he had his son Owen in 1896.
We already have the 2 census entries she mentions.
I am only aware that they registered the birth of my granny ( and that was done by the midwife I think )
and they were licensed hawkers - if they had been caught without licenses in 1871 the police would have had them in as vagrants.
BTW you still have to have pedlers licenses nowadays to sell door to door. You have to get them from the police.
Maybe we could find out if the police have old hawkers license records??
The above is what my cousin Jacquline sent me, Lyz

Hi Rowena,
Thank You for replying. Tom and Louisa had baby Prudence in 1885 ( ish ) and Owen in 1896. I can't find their marriage date, but it looks like they may have used the surname Casey as well! I think they were unlicenced hawkers and caught out! Lyz

Hi,
Maybe he was a gamekeeper, or worked in the forests. Good luck searching, Lyz

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Help please - upset relatives
« on: Wednesday 26 October 05 15:21 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Oh Dear, but please don't be upset, it isn't your fault, they wanted to know so it's theyr'e problem. Writing a letter is a good idea.
I got upset 4 years ago when I traced my Mum, she phoned me, we talked for 2 hours, then blurted out that she didn't want to hear from me again, it upset her to much, I wrote her a letter, but she returned it by registered post.
What I'm trying to say is, don't blame yourself, they just didn't face problems and upsets, much too easy for them to sweep them under the carpet. Good Luck, don't give up. Lyz
