Sussex / Re: ILLMAN FAMILY OF WORTH SUSSEX
« on: Monday 19 September 11 17:02 BST (UK)  »
I am one-eighth Illman, my great-grandmother was Laura Ada Illman.
You can trace some Worth-based Illmans back from her on this page:of my site:
http://haywain.net/family/tree.php?ID=16
Most of the Illman data on the site is based on the work of
W. John Illman of Canada (my half second cousin) and I do
not personally have evidence for material prior to Laura's grandfather George.

Ah.  Thank you for this.  I may have spoken too soon, as usual.

Thanks.  I take all these points, of course.  My real concern now is that Ancestry's lack of care reflects badly on LMA

Answering this myself.

It's Ancestry that's wrong.

Browsing Christ Church marriage records (the year 1818 is missing), I note that in 1819 the vicar was Samuel Crowther.

He was the vicar on the supposedly St Leonard's Foster Lane certificate in 1818.

Hah!

The Common Room / Reliability of sources?

Who can you trust?

Pallott's marriage index seems to have four cards for the marriage of Thomas BEGIN and Jane NOVELL, all marked 1818, Christ Church Newgate.

The LMA image of the marriage entry in a parish record book is listed on Ancestry as a statement of Banns (which it isn't) at St Leonard's Foster Lane, City of London.

Yes, details as in original message. John's death due to senility though not sure of the relevance.  It's Amelia I want to track down!

Surrey / Missing a death in Horley 1885 +/-5
« on: Sunday 28 August 11 18:01 BST (UK)  »
I have one of those irritating minor gaps in the family data.
My gg-grandmother appears not to have died, officially.
Nee Amelia Jenner in about 1837, married John Constable 1856
He and she (and eventually their children) are in the censuses 1841(Worth and Horne), 1851 (Croydon and Horne),1861 (Outwood), 1871 (Burstow), 1881 (Horley, Fern Hill).
John is a widower, lodging in Horley, in 1891; in the East Grinstead Union Workhouse 1901, and dies there in 1909
So Amelia Constable nee Jenner died between 1881 and 1891, almost certainly in Horley or nearby, as in 1881 she still had 6 children and a grandchild at home (ages 16,11,9,6,4,2 and 3).
Her given age in censuses was: 4 (1841), 10, 25, 34, 46 (1881); her age at death between 1881 and 1891 could be mid 40s to mid 50s
Her death/burial does not appear in searches on findmypast, on freeBMD, on FamilySearch

Any help gratefully received!

Warwickshire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Whitmore birth in Aston around 1816
« on: Wednesday 30 December 09 11:31 GMT (UK)  »
Many thanks for your time and advice.  I'll mark this as completed (in the rootschat sense - this genealogy lark is never completed, of course!)

Thanks again,

Ian
