Well       an unhairer      I knew what I thought I could see wasn't right - but I've never heard that expression, so didn't make the connection    

That's my something new learned today, then

  Hello Halfpenny....

  So an unhairer.... never heard of that one before.

 I started this post in the hope of finding the family of Lillian Maud Barham who married William Edward Farrington Liscoe. I have their wedding photo from 1910. They had 2 children William G in 1914 & Lilian M in 1919. William snr died in 1931 and William jnr in 1934.
 William is the brother of my great grandfather Richard and as I had the photo wanted to find out more.
 I may have to get the marriage cert for Lilian Muad to check on her father unless you know more of the family.

 Hi Halfpenny


 well 7 years on and I am no closer to finding out what happened to Charles Barhams first wife. Amelia Davey. They had a daughter Lilian Maud  in 1885 but Amelia vanishes off the planet.
 Charles remarries in 1925 only for second wife Alfraetta to die the following year. Have you every heard of his first wife  at all?

Hi,

Great to hear from you after all this time.

I am afraid like you I have no idea what happened to Amelia. There was another child born to Charles and Amelia called Albert Reuben in 1886. I believe he died in 1889.

It really does seem to be a mystery and one I would dearly love to solve!

Regards
Halfpenny.

 Hi    I saw you was online and took a chance you'd read the reply
 I saw the birth and death and wondered if that had something to do with Amelia being missing from the 1891 census. Charles states married but is with his parents and Lilian.

 A tree on Ancestry has Amelia dying in 1944 but that's another one and she was married to a Frederick.
 It maybe that they lost their son and Amelia couldn't cope with that. She may well be in a hospital under care and could be listed just by A.B   or even A.D  I have tried allsorts. So today I decided to have another crack as its raining here! I will keep at it and see what I can find.
 The fact that Charles and Alfraetta marry in 1925 may give us a date but it may tie in to her death the following year if she was ill.

 Thanks for getting back to me I'll let you know if I find any more.
