And just to muddy the waters there is a birth of a Jean Lowe in Leeds Mar quarter 1926 ref. 9b 609.  There is also a marriage of an Edith Gill to a Charles Lowe in Leeds, June quarter 1925 9b 730.


Are you sure? I'd seen Jean's birth and looked back for the marriage to find Edith GILL marrying John A. LOWE, Jun 1925 Leeds 9b 730

Oh dear Anna, you are right, I don't know why I read Charles - wishful thinking I suppose.

However, I've  just found a birth of an Edith Emily Gill, June 1892 Kingston 2a 318.

Started looking for ad eath of Amelia Lowe - if we find her death and work back it might be another angle to take - that is if it IS Amelia

Did 1960 - 62 incl - not many years, we need to do a lot more!

found:
Oct/Nov/Dec 1962
Amelia M Lowe age 75
Edmonton 5e 362

doesnt look very likely as a) age wrong b)place wrong, we understand she stayed in Hampton in her old age and c) name wrong, she has never had a middle initial
(Cant get more than that - scored on all 3!)

Found her birth
Amelia Gill
Ap/May/Jun 1891 Kingston

We had Amelia's birth on the previous page, Lizdb Wink

I wonder whether Howard is able to be a little more precise on Aunt Mill's likely date of death, in order to minimise the number of quarters which need to be trawled through?

Another Amelia Lowe death;

Grace Amelia Lowe, dob 19.6.1893 died Mar 1991 Horsham. 18 2240

As she was on the 1891 census, that date of birth can't be correct,  her birth was Apr/May/June 1891 and the name of Grace has not been found before.

The only death of an Amelia Doherty I found was in Salford 10f 436, Dec.1956.  That seems totally improbable.

I can't find any deaths for Amelia Gill.

I really must thank you all for your efforts, this has bugged me ever since I got seriously interested in my family history.

I had found much of the info posted which to some extent made it all the more ellusive. I didn't think there was a 2nd marriage or that they lived anywhere other than Hampton Middx but having your fresh eyes on the matter has opened mine to the possibilities.

I didnt know that little emily had died young, I wondered because I've had a case where a name was used again after a death so I wondered about Emilie and Emily

Leeds is looking very circumstantial but the following has just occured to me as I write.

I had found the marriage to H. Doherty and thought that discounted Amelia, However if there was a 2nd marriage, we would be looking for a Lowe/Doherty wedding. It's great to have people to bounce things around with.

Regards

I think Leeds is very likely to be a red herring, though because of the daughter Jean it needed to be investigated.

Have you considered searching the electoral rolls for the period you know the Lowes to have been in Hampton?

How confident are you that Mill was a sister of your grandmother as opposed to e.g. a cousin (who may have had a different maiden name from Florence)?

Anna

Firstly: I'm not sure when gt aunt Mill died, I know she outlived gt uncle Charlie but probably not by very long as I don't remember seeing her again. I could be wrong I was very young when gt uncle charlie died but I remember it well. It was one of those significant moment everyone has in their lives. I questioned religion for he first time, views are very simplistic when you're about 4. I would have to guess at not before 1950 but anything up to 1960. my grandmother, next door, died in 1965 and I'm sure Mill was already dead.

Secondly: I haven't proven that Mill was my grandmother's sister but I and the two cousins I'm in touch with, all think she was. I looked at the possibility of her being my grandfather's sister but found no evidence. It is a puzzle. I haven't had a chance to look for a Doherty/Lowe marriage yet and have to take the OH shopping now but that could be significant.

Thanks Anna and all of you.

Hello again everyone

Well, I've now checked BMD's, No Doherty/Lowe marriage also checked Annis Gill, no records, Elizabeth Gill married Edward Hurst. BMD Transcriptions after about 1915 are very few. I'm at a loss. The only thing I can think of is that the married name was not Lowe, both of my cousins"who are older than me" think the name was Lowe.

Any suggestions welcome.

Hi Howard

Do you have an exact address?  I was just thinking about electoral registers - they should show their full names.

also checked Annis Gill, no records

Are you absolutely sure there was a daughter called Annis?  I couldn't find a birth registration in this name.  If the only source for this name is a census return, then I wonder whether it was a misenumeration of Annie.

There is this baptism:

Annie GILL Sep 1892 Kingston 2a 364

Hi Casalguidi

I do have an exact address: 7 Linden Rd, Hampton Middlesex. But I think you have to go to the Council offices to see the Rolls. Trouble is it's about 200 miles away. Unless you know of an on-line method.

Anna, You've done this before!!! I think you may have solved the Annis issue, it was just the Census returns and no further record found. It figures that the Annie you found is her, doubtful that she is gt aunt Mill though, she remains a mystery.

Thanks again.

Hi Howard

Main local reference libraries/local studies house old electoral registers and often they will look up a small query like this for free but I'm not sure which one it would be for Hampton .................. Richmond local studies perhaps?  Can anybody clarify?
