G.Grandmother

[franpow]

Ive been searching for my G. Grandmother Amelia Sarah Peebles born in Barnsley around 1862. She married  Charles Winfield of Oxford a jobbing builder  They moved down to South Wales during 1888
I would like to know more about her also her family. If its possible?

[PaulineJ]

When and where did she wed?
What names witness, who was her father,
Is she consistent with age and birthplace in census?

[PaulineJ]

A simple search here on freebmd gives a candidte birth year of 1866 Doncaster district and a 1894 marriage in Wales.

Can't seem to find her before marriage - if all else fails the marriage certificate should give the name of her father as a starting point.

[Milliepede]

Possible for 1881 in Swindon Wilts transcribed as

Amelia People 15 born Doncaster Yorks visitor boarder scholar

Head of house is John James 69 and wife Hannah 73

Funny enough there is a baptism in Swindon of Amelia Sarah Peebles 27 Sep 1868
parents Clifford Crawford Peebles and Elizabeth

[KGarrad]

Strange, but there is this christening?

27th September 1868
St Marks, New Swindon, Wiltshire

Amelia Sarah Peebles     daughter of
Clifford Crawford Peebles and Elizabeth


Is the combination of names just too much of a coincidence?

[Milliepede]

I wondered if she had been adopted but 

Do those parents show up anywhere I wonder - maybe they died and she was left on her own.

There's a Clifford C Peebles death in Newport M age 61 in Mar 1906

[Milliepede]

There's a Crawford Peebles marriage to Elizabeth James or Dando but that's in Wolverhampton Dec 1863 so we are going all over the country.

Although Amelia is with a James family in 1881 so could be a family connection.
