Look up Mother's maiden name "Pullen"
« on: Sunday 08 January 06 04:15 GMT (UK) »
I have been searching and searching for any information.  Someone recommended Rootschat and I thought I'd give it a go.  My Mother's maiden name was Pullen.  Her 2 older siblings were born in Bristol around 1885 - 1890.  My grandmother's name was Laura Elizabeth(Taylor maiden name) Pullen and she was married to Walter Pullen.  There were 2 children born in Bristol.  Rose and Lilian. Elsie, my mother Gladys Laura and her brother Frederick were born in Toronto, Ontario.  Elsie died at a young age.  I keep bumping into brick walls and if anyone out there can help, I would be very appreciative.
Sincerely,
Laura

Hi Laura, ;D

and welcome to RootsChat. You have arrived at the right place as lots of people here will be willing to help you.

I'm having a look for your grandmother now. In the meantime you may hear from someone else. ;D

Hi Laura,

I haven't been able to find a Walter Pullen born Bristol on the earlier censuses yet - I'm just checking a Walter Pullin out.

I've left Walter for the minute - the "Pullin" entry was incorrect.

Here is a possibility for Laura. There is one other "Laura G Taylor" born Bristol, 1878. I'll check her out too. Rose could have been named after this Rosina.

1891 Census Bristol

12 Brixton Road

Henry Taylor, head, 38, Labourer, Washford Somerset
Rosina, wife. 38, Bristol
Henry, son, 14, Brass Polisher, Bristol

Jenny, dau, 9, Scholar, Bristol
William, son, 5, Scholar, Bristol
Albert, son, 2, Bristol

The other Laura is "Laura Gertrude"  and she married either Henry Brutus or George Ernst in 1901.

Here is the marriage of Laura & Walter
