Just had to tell someone
« on: Sunday 23 March 08 19:30 GMT (UK) »
After months of fighting my way through I have finally found g grandmas name  ;D She is recorded in 1901 as Kate E Martin, in 1891 as Jane E Martin, had my grandad in 1902....maiden name Elizabeth Jane Stebbins.  Married to g grandad....name Elizabeth Jane Stibbens.  Finally found an Elizabeth Jane Stebbins and stuck with that, but no census records for her  ??? Today I broke through that brick wall, her dads surname is Stebbing  ::)
I no longer care if her name is Elizabeth, Jane or Kate, Stibbens, Stebbins or Stebbing.  From now on I will just refer to her as g grandma and woe betide anyone that tries to stop me  ;D

Well done skymoo,
I've been looking for my great grandfather for four years now. He's out there somewhere, but where and under what name.? He's on the 1881 and I have his marriage cert, but I'm blowed if I can find his birth or him on the 1861 or 1871.

You have given me hope  ;D

Kind regards

Skymoo - Congrats on finding your g.grandma's real surname at last and her father.

Still looking for my paternal g.grandfather prior to my gran's birth in 1884.  Like other missing people, he must have been somewhere, but where?  I live in hope that when GRO finishing digitizing BMDs and give mothers' maiden names for all birth records, I'll find him.
