Hello,

I have a couple of Sims.

Isabella Wildgoose Sim born 25/5/1879 was my great grandmother - she was the illegitimate daughter of Ann Sim a domestic servant.

I couldnt get past Ann Sim - can anyone help ?

Is it likely that she took the middle name Wildgoose in a refernce to a suspected father ?

Do you have an exact birth address for Isabella?

Have you found her in the 1881 census?

And yes, it was not unusual for illegitimate children to be given their fathers' surnames as middle names.

Forfarian,

Thanks for reply

Isabella was born in West Street Strichen on 25th May 1879 at 12 Midnight - Although I cannot find her in the 1881 census, I have her birth certificate and marriage certificate and am reasonably happy with what I know about her.

My mother describes Isabella as "the best granny in the world"

Its her mother Ann that I cannot get past.

Ann is simply listed on the birth certificate as a domestic servant and no age is written down.

Any hints greatly welcome

Regards

There is an Isabella Sim, aged 1, living in West Street, Strichen in the 1881 census with grandmother Margaret Sim, unmarried, age 65. Also in the household is Ann Sim, 31, Margaret's daughter.

I think this might just be the key you need.
