Wells Family - Leicestershire & Northamptonshire

[Charlie B]

hello Sandy
thank you for the quick reply, however I must have confused you, Florence Mabel Ashford parents were STEPHEN ASHFORD & KATE CATHERINE WELLS the father of Kate was EDWARD WELLS from Long Buckby that you found for me, i am so sorry to have not made myself clear to you and wasted your time, ( it is my medication, I have to take Morphine , I have concentration problems;) Florence was born 1897 in London.
If I have caused you any trouble I am deeply sorry

Hi Beryl

I am sorry to hear that you are so un-well.

It is not a waste of my time I just noted the wrong family details.

Do you have them in 1901 anyway?

Sandy

Morning Sandy, and everyone who is helping
I have not got the family on 1901 census, I would dearly love to find Samuel Percy or it could be Percy Samuel, I have tried but got nowhere with him.
If you need any more information please let me know, and
if I can help you in any way also do ask
Kind Regards & a Million Thanks
Beryl

Hi Beryl

I know what you mean about Samuel/Percy. Ancestry is very good but if someone thinks the
word is different then we can not find him on the indexes which seems to be the case.

If you type in your search engine  freebmd.com and go to the web page then type in
John Leach then the time scale of the marriage date  then you will see loads of them.

Do you have any knowledge of your mother's aunt or uncles being the siblings of Samuel at all.

Hello Sandy
I do have a little more, on a peice of paper that I found shortly after Mum's death, concerned Samuel ;
 EDITH HOLLAND sister, not known if it is married name or a maiden name.
There is aslo reference  to his Mother being married before and the name DANES wrote down.
 and a scribbled mention of Kings Lynn.
He was  a Catholic, and as I said before an Army private if that helps any, sorry it is not much to go on I know as I have tried till it has drove me insane, but I thought maybe a fresh mind and all that, there is no one to ask and he was not a very kind man to me or my siblings, we never knew anything about him as we could never allowed to go in his house, & he never ever spoke to us, only Mum was able to go in, why I have no idea, I think it must have had something to do with father because we were not able to tell him that we gone with Mum to visit.
But I need to trace him for Mum's memory as I promised her I would find her family

Hi Beryl

Do not seem to be getting anywhere on this so let's go back to basics.

On Ancestry their is a Birth of a Samuel Percy Leach in the March Qtr of 1891 in Warwickshire.

You could ask the Registrar whether or not his father is John (a Miller) or send for a certificate and maybe waste £7.00 if incorrect. If asking the Registrar the Vol Page etc on the G.R.O. (they do not have the same system) will not be needed.

In the mean-time I will see if I can spot him now we have a possible birth area.
