IVY LANGDON gr daughter s 7 b St Teath

Richard Prout gr son 2
Samuel Prout gr son 2 months

I cannot find a birth for Ivy langdon   

The Marriage cert would give us the name of her dad....

I wonder if Ivy could belong to Eliza Prout nee Langdon ? Eliza Langdon married frederick Chenoweth Prout Dec q 1896, Camelford. Ivy was born 1894..maybe illegitimate ?

Eliza Langdon married Frederick Prout dec q 1896. Frederick , the son was b c 1896/7 ...So he the son of Frederick Snr. Ivy is most probably Eliza's child but not Frederick's ..hence her surname was not changed ....

Frederick LANGDON ...dec 1896 , same quarter as Eliza married Frederick Prout

Hi, All,
I have finally solved the mystery!
Ivy Langdon was the daughter of Eliza Langdon - father unknown. 
The reason we had so much trouble finding her was that she was registered as Florence Harvey Heard Langdon.  I can only assume that somewhere along the line, Harvey has been mutated into Ivy (?)  She did marry as Ivy Florence Langdon.
One less headache for me.
Regards,
Annie.

  Good Job!!!!

sounds like there might have been a Harvey Heard running around in those days ....Looks like Eliza wanted him to be known LOL

You are probably right
I have actually found one!
As yet, I have not gone too deep in to it, but it may be worth following up.
I am just so glad to know that I found Ivy at last (With a lot of help!)

Hi again


maybe the marriage cert would reveal a father's name ...that is if Eliza told her who her dad was!

Hi, Deb,
I have Ivy's marriage cert.  There is a line through the box where her Father's name should be.
At least I now know for sure who her Mother was.
Regards,
Annie
