Canada / Re: Fitzsimmons of Halton County.

Hello,

     I am researching the Wedgewood family of Derry West now Mississauga ( not far from Halton, Trafalgar, Oakville area), trying to find Alice Brown b. abt 1871 in Yorkshire England.  She came to Canada as a young girl and lived with the Wedgewood family.  Alice worked as a housekeeper.  I am wondering if my Alice Brown is your Alice Brown who married Robert Fitzsimmons? 

Hope to hear from you.   awp

Hello again,

    I have a few pictures of my Alice Brown.  If anyone else does, it might be interesting to compare photos for identification.

    I am very suspicious that my Alice is Mrs. Fitzsimmons, as the names of her children are combinations of the names of the Wedgewood family she lived with.

Sussex Lookup Requests / 2 Hever Crescent...who was living there?
« on: Saturday 05 June 10 16:01 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

    Trying to find out who was living at 2 Hever Crescent, Bexhill-on-sea in the time periods 1916-1918  and then again in 1968-1969.

     Street directories, electoral roles, census records might help?

     Looking specifically for Lilian (Lily) Anderson, but interested in the name shown at this residence.

     Any help appreciated.   Sandy

     The trumpet-major was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.  With no trace in England, I am wondering if he kept going and went all the way home?   He was away a long time, I can appreciate the desire to see family.

Hi,
   I think that is her.   IGI also shows the younger sister Annie, who had a twin that passed away as a child, Lily.  They were born 26 Apr.1869 Lahore.  Parents John and Elizabeth.  The name Elizabeth is new information.  Son, John was born abt. 1862 or 63.  Cannot find him in records.

   The story is that when little Lily died at young age, it was a huge motivator to move back to U.K. (I guess they felt it would not of happened if they were in England.)  I do not know when they moved but there is record of the father's military career 1853-1879. Not sure if it was all spent in India.  The son, John married in 1889 Alverstoke. So best guess is they moved to U.K. between 1879 and 1889.       
           
          Have lost track of parents and the girls.  awp

Hi,

    Already have marr. cert for John Anderson and Francis Annie, witness names unfamiliar...looks like Philip Vokes and Mary Anne Brewer.  Groom's father stated as John Anderson , occupation Trumpet major RHA.

    John died 1898, hard times ensued.  While Mum in workhouse, children in orphanage, all reunited at later time.

    Have details of this line, but can't find any clues for sisters Margaret and Annie.  Or their parents for that matter. 

    May need to spend time in records out of India.

     Thanks for efforts.  awp

Hi again,

   All I know for sure is what was stated in original post.  Don't know when or where she married, or to whom (Walsh was only a possible connection detail from family member)

   Thanks for all your digging there.  Will keep information on file may have to come back to it as things develop.

   Regards, awp

Hi Ron,

   Thanks for reply.   There might be a connection to the surname "Walsh".  Margaret may have married in India, and come after.  Don't have subscription to Ancestry, but they show a Margaret Jane Anderson b.1860 India, Husband James living in Surrey 1891 and 1901 census. Our facts are few, and shaky at best.

   Found John the brother.  Wife, Frances and two daughters in 1891 census Hampshire.

   Thanks for trying.  awp
