WOW that is one hell of a jump from 1854 back to 1727 

You would have to follow her father's line back as far as you could,which of course may only be to 1837 for certain(the start of civil registration)

Good luck

Hi

So do you mean this family? How do you know it is the correct family?

1841 census HO107 688/15 folio 50
George Street Chelsea
Mary Mills 45 born Ireland
Thomas Mills 20 M S
Daniel Mills 15 M S
James Mills 12 Servant?
all born in county except Mary. Adult ages those over 15, usually rounded down to the nearest 5 on the 1841 census.


There is a burial for a Thomas Mills that might be a possibility

19th March 1841 St Luke Chelsea
Thomas Mills aged 43 Upper Manor Street

Upper Manor Street on the 1841 census piece number was HO107 688/4.

Think that these must be the ones as Albert married twice , he had 6 children altogether the eldest being Thomas who also married twice and his wife was Irish by the name of Mrs Haughton don't have a first name they being the grandparents of Ada
