Ethel EMERY in Bristol c.1900
« on: Thursday 13 March 08 17:40 GMT (UK) »

Am looking for any information at all on my wife's great grandmother, Ethel Emery.  All I have is my wife's mother's birth certificate (January 1916), which gives her mother as Ethel Emery but no details of the father.  Ethel was a general servant at 10 Frederick Place, Clifton, although she had her baby at 39 Ambra Vale East, Bristol.  Birth registered in the Clifton district of Bristol.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Neil

Hello.  Yes, I did look at the 1901 Census.  There was an Ethel L. Emery, aged 19, a domestic servant, living with her widowed mother, Fanny Emery, in Brighton Terrace, Easton, Bristol.  Very little information to go on really, and with almost all my family coming from Scotland, it's quite a bit different looking for someone in England (quite spoilt in fact looking up information on the Scotland Register Office site!!).

Thanks...Neil

Why not try going a different way?   Where was your wife's mother brought up?   Schools etc.   Who are the witnesses at her marriage?  Is it possible that Ethel married later.  When did she die?  Her death certificate will give you her age with luck.   Electoral rolls may help too.  Are there any other relatives who might know something?
There are too many possibles otherwise.

Too many possibilities - that is exactly the problem.  My wife's mother was taken away from Bristol (to Scotland) by her father, at the age of six weeks.  Why we don't know.  She knows nothing, nor has been told, anything about her mother.  And at her age now, she really isn't interested, but my wife and I are.  It's just a question of carrying on searching.
