Four Trees -Our Great Grandmothers

[Zelley]

And the four lovely ladies who combined to make up me, what a shame I didn't know any of them 

Margaret Anne Kent - Neston, Cheshire 1845
Ann Lambert - Wexford, Co. Wexford 13th February, 1844
Harriet Hillyard - Luton, Bedfordshire 1845
Jemima Clara Nunn - Clerkenwell, London 1st November, 1848

And I could only wonder if your Jemima Nunn of
Clerkenwell would have known some of my Clerkenwell kin
with the name of Kyne.

Hi Zelley,
I know that a lot of folks tend to concentrate just on the male line, (same surname, etc) but I've always tried to make a point of looking at the female lines too.
And I agree totally with what you're saying!!
Best Wishes, Romilly.

Searching the names of our male kin tends to be easier than
 the ladies. But, the female branches are the key to our existance.    
If we follow our maternal side, that is
 taking us home to where we belong.

I have also liked to track down some of the great aunts and
great great aunts.  One for instance had the name of Elizabeth
Bellamy Zelley.  It took a few years to find out what happened
to her.  One picture was taken in London in 1894, then in
the early 1900's, we find that she married and had children.
And, it such a shame, but I haven't been able to
 make contact with any of her
 living grandchildren or great grandchildren,
 if any with the WYATT name connection
  in search of missing or non existing kin

Have you tried 192.com or the UK Info-Disc Zelley?

(It worked for me in tracing some missing cousins).

Best Wishes, Romilly.

And I meant to say...

Gosh, - what a glamorous G/Grandmother!!

She looks like a film star.

A cousin of mine and her nephew that never met her thought she looked like Madonna, the singer.

Lovely photos, - thanks for sharing them.

Best Wishes, Romilly.

My 4

Hannah Saunders born 1862 in Lilley, Herts - her mother died in childbirth and she was brought up by her grandmother. After years of living hand to mouth and doing moonlight flits to escape the rent collector she died in 1939 in Three Counties Asylum.

Mary Ann Underwood born in Luton Beds in 1858, died 1929. She was my Great grandfather's second wife - having lived near him all her life I like to think of her as his childhood sweetheart who comforted him when he lost his wife and then his child.

Emma Childs born Uxbridge, Middlesex in 1864 she lost her own mother when she was 16, as the eldest child at home and with 4 siblings under 10 I imagine she had to become a mother to them. She died in 1911 of Diabetes.

Elizabeth Sarah Rendall born 1850 in Bridport Dorset died there in 1938. She is the only one I have a photo of.

Thanks so much!
Contact me by PM and I will give you a Dorset site of importance re the RENDALL/RANDALL names and connections from Bridport to Wetmouth,

It would be nice to post a photo of Elizabeth Sarah Rendall on the photo section of the
Dorset site.
