My Query is,
I have an Alice Warwick born to a Richard and Sarah Warrick in 1874.
Sarah was remarried i to a Frank Brewer, alice was in this household. in the 1881 census
Richards brother Charles was married to a Elizabeth Young
Alice was adopted by a Harriet Young according to the 1901 census.
Would this adoption have been legalised, and if so where would I find a reference for this. I have searched a2a(access to the Archives with no success)
Regards Tracey

Tanja,
It is interesting to note, that Alice,s mother Elizabeth died in 1878,
in 1881 she was listed as a lodger in the Flemington household.(another family name) but listed as the adopted daughter of Harriett Young in 1901.
I think Harriett is her grandmother.
Your thoughts on this please.

Hi Tracey,
I'm lost! 
In 1881 she is age 7, born Cranborne, 'daughter' in the household of Frank and Sarah Brewer, along with a George Warwick age 5.
You say her mother Elizabeth died in 1878? I presume there is a mistake somewhere.
Are you sure she's the same person as the adopted daughter in 1901, who is 4 years out?
I can see a girl matching the 1901 census find on the 1891 census:
RG12/925 50 16
Swathling, Hampshire
John Young, head, 63, Farm servant, b. Horton Dorset
Harriet, wife, 65, b. Christchurch Hants
Alice M M Warwick, granddau, 13, b. Thru Cross Dorset
Was your Alice named Alice M M?
I can't find the record where she is a niece to Flemlingtons

Sorry to confuse you, I am even confusing myself.
Alice,s mother was Sarah Warrick(nee Flemington)
remarried Frank Brewer in 1870
Elizabeth Young was her Aunty,
Alice born in 1874. 1n 1881 Daughter in Brewer household. aged 7
1891 Niece in Flemington Household aged 17.
In 1901 Adopted daughter of Harriett Young age 23, which would make her birth date 1878. However I still tend to think this her my alice.

The mystery deepens every moment,
I am determined to get to the bottom of this.
You have given me a whole new trail to follow.
regards Tracey.

Thank you so much,
I think you have cracked it,
Elliott was her grandmothers name,
Elizabeth Warrick married Elliott (second marriage)
But it does not mean i am finished, Still so many unanswered questions :)javascript:replaceText(' ', document.postmodify.message);

Hi
I am also interested in the Brewer family from Cranborne.
On my great great grandfather David Still/Steel's marriage certificate
it said that David Brewer was his father so I have been working away on this family to try and find out which David Brewer it was. How I wish I could go back and ask David Steel's mother Charlotte Steel who it was.
I expect she would tell me to mind my own business don't you. I wonder if you have found a David Brewer in your family tree/ Kind regards Christine
