Hi Andy and Sue,

Thanks for your responses especially your data Andy, genealogy would be so easy if it wasn't for the dates :)

Hi,

Regarding the Dennis family; I have an Ellen Dennis in my tree born 1797ish Leicestershire, married to William Bonsor. Surely this line must be connected to your searches. I would be very grateful if you could supply any info on Ellen as she is proving stubborn to track down

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Joseph Carter Manchester

Thanks Charlotte,

A newbie question, seeing as I am based in New Zealand, what is the safest way to order marriage certificates? I have a daughter in London, is there an agency there she could get one for me or do you have to be in Leicester?

Hi Charlotte and Mariac,

Many thanks for the helpful tips and lookups, sometimes you need another perspective to help you out of a rut.

I think the marriage certificate of Joseph and Annie should be my next step. Very interesting info from the 1901 census too. Joesph being a horse dealer is funny I have another ancestor who was a molecatcher, so much for royalty in the genes,  ;D

Thanks again

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Joseph Carter Manchester
« on: Wednesday 17 June 09 02:53 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

Any help with any details of Joseph Carter born 1864 Manchester would be much appreciated, he's the furthest back I can get on my mothers line, he eventually moved to Leicestershire and married Annie Manship, he may have died relatively young as Annie married again, again my brain is stuck so any ideas here would be groovy,

Kerry / Marriage Julia Brissenay
« on: Monday 15 June 09 02:37 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

If anyone can help with this family mystery I would be very thankful.

From Julia's death certificate in New Zealand in 1912 it says she was born in Kerry, also her first marriage was to a Mr Luke Keane also born in Kerry, she subsequently married a Danial Everard Brown in NZ. And thats all I know, I can't find her name at all. The family reckon it could be Brissoning or Du Bressnay. None of these names are findable, any clues as to how I could continue would be great,

Thanks

Steve

Hi Zena, strangely I have none of those names in my tree, I have Sarah, Joseph, Elizabeth and Johnson as Harriets siblings and Ann as her mother, but these ancestors are new to my radar so more research is required my forge a link,

No, In fact I didn't have this many thanks. Harriet was a bit of a hard case it seems. The family legend had it that she left her first marriage to live with Harry, but getting married as late as 1918 was a bit of a surprise, she was listed as Mrs Wood in the 1911 census. To top it all when Harry died she married (shacked up) with another guy, go Harriet   :)

Hi, just joined the forum and landed right in the middle of family. Harriet Johnson was my Grandma, in the 1911 census she is married to Harry Wood in Leicester and her birth is given  transcribed as Chorney, but is actually Thorney if you look at the original. The family legend (i.e no eveidence) was that she was married twice, firstly to a Mr Hallam. This seems to link up with some of your prior responses, I have more info and photos if you need it,
