Amazing Grace
« on: Friday 29 September 06 13:54 UTC (UK) »
I've been following the trail of my GreatGreatGreatGrandmother – Grace LAUNDER b. 1787/88 Kenwyn.

I've found her in 1841/61 at the following references:

HO107/137/7/46 @ GWENNAP, Cornwall
HO107/1914/370/12/221068 @ Vogue, GWENNAP, Cornwall
RG9/1576/79/15/542834 @ Chaple Street, St Day, Cornwall

but then she seems to have disappeared - Amazing!  Grin

She was 73 on the '61 so had probably died by the time of the '71 - but I can't prove that.

Any ideas?

Thanks in anticipation,

Hi Alhal,

Have you checked the complete death index?
(free to view here: http://content.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?htx=List&dbid=8966&offerid=0%3a7858%3a0)

FreeBMD hasn't got very good coverage for the 1861/1871 time frame...

Hello again Tanja,

Yes, I've trawled through them all a couple of times now - no joy (nor Grace  Cheesy)

This family have a habit of popping up under 20 or so surname aliases - a most annoying habit  Angry

I've even tried to find her by leaving the surname field blank - now that becomes a real labour of love - but I was unsuccessful  Sad

I've been using Ancestry.co.uk and have been further hampered by mis-transcriptions.

Perhaps at some stage of the game I'll get off my computer and come down to lovely Cornwall - as if I needed an excuse!

Thanks for the advice anyway.

Regards,

alhal

Hi

just a thought ...there is a death of a GRACE LANDERS in june quarter 1869 in Redruth ...age 75
It is off by a couple years ..but i did a search of 1861 for a Grace LANDERS in cornwall born abt 1790 and there were only 4 ...none born in the 1780/90"s.

As ii said ...just a thought. Grin

Hi Deb,

How rude of me not to thank you earlier for your post - sorry  Embarrassed

Thanks for the help - I'll follow that trail for a while.

Following our ancestor's trails is like following trails on the moorlands - sometimes you're on the right path - at other times your following sheep tracks Undecided

Regards,
