Hello Diddy,

Well, that is amazing.  Truly.

Firstly that William Henry put his birth place as South Hackney when it was in fact Loughborough on the 1911 Census.  I kind of get that if he was living there when he was 10.

One thing that is odd though is if you read all the Rackham threads/information Annie Stevenson is Anne Stevenson.  Small point I know.

Secondly, this family, what were they thinking?  They had very limited imagination in naming their children differently from themselves!!! 

Diddy thanks again.  Is it possible to get information on where (address) they lived.  Probably I would like to see that - in the physical sense.  I guess you understand.

Thanks so much,

Andrew

PS: my older relatives are suddenly interested in this too.

HI, You were the one who told me the 1911 had Hackney as his birthplace...

I can find some more & send the exact addresses but busy away this weekend so will give you some time to assimilate that lot.

Still not sure about the Brighton marriage - looks from census as if it should be Nottingham. will have another browse.

I can check the Notts igi at the library.

not seen the Rackham stuff.

Diddy,

Thank you very much.  Your data is spot on.  I have downloaded copies of the census pages back to 1841 and confirmed the link between George Arthur Stevenson and Annie Rackham (ne Stevenson).  Thus I have all the addresses and occupations.  Just amazing.

So now I wonder how should I go back further in the tree from Willliam 1803 Costock? 

Secondly, are there any other sources of data/information that would provide a richer insight into the lives of those we have already found?

I have found uploaded copies of parish records and that I guess is where you would need to look.

Thank you again for your help and guidance.

Andrew

Hello Diddy,

Re; Turner, no, no mention of the name in the family. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

There seems to be a service in East Leake etc looking up parish records is that worthwhile?


Thanks again

Andrew
