Woody32, Hello and thank you SOOOO much. This is amazing information. It has to be Ada, my grandmother, living as a visitor at 'The Ruins' since there is a family tradition that she was in the Andover area for some unspecified reason around 1900. You cannot imagine how often, in recent years, I've mentally flogged myself for not asking her questions about her early life and her family. I did discover that Ada was illegitimate, a somewhat startling find, and something I don't believe even my mother was aware of. My stepfather certainly wasn't and was as surprised as I was when I told him of it. As you discovered, Annie did marry but whether he was my grandmother's father there is now no way to discover I imagine.

Ada took a rather dim view of alcohol, and there was something -- or someone -- in the family background that led to that aversion. I never knew the truth of the matter, but if Ada lived for any length of time with her mother's brother Albert, who was a publican it appears after being a grocer, he or his customers might be the culprit.

Thank you again.

The Chiles family:

John William Chiles d. 1907 aged 90 in Andover district.
Earl(e) Chiles b. 1850 d. Mar 1920 in Andover, can't see a marriage.

In 1881 they had a number of children, (Earle and Henrietta are shown) including a John who appears to have possibly married later in 1881 to Emily Mary Starnes. (They appear in 1901 in Hayes, Middlesex, on http://www.1901censusonline.com/ under the spelling "Childs"). So there was a family link there.

Do you have Ada Agatha's birth certificate? With luck, the details there (any addresses, etc), might lead to other possible places to look for her family.

Yes, I do have Ada's birth certificate as it happens, and it's how I found out that she was illegitimate -- no father's name is provided. But it's a spartan document. The birth occurred on June 28th 1887 at -- as you surmised -- Harlington, in the sub-district of Staines in Middlesex. The daughter's name is given (Ada Agnes) and the mother's, Annie Starnes of 'Sipson, Harmondsworth.' Aside from the name of the registrar and the date of registration (August 10th 1887) that's all the information there is.

Not sure how to get you my email address, and I understand it's not allowed (or not recommended) to include email addresses in messages. But I certainly have no problem letting you have it. I'm very new to this, so please bear with me. If you can let me know how, I'll get on it.

I was born in Sipson in 1961 and moved from there in 1967.  My family owned a lot of land in the area and had been market gardeners in the area for generations.  My father was the last to farm there under the name of Wild and Robbins.  If I remember rightly the Starnes family were still the grocers when I lived there, if they weren't I am sure they had been within living memory of my parents. 

As for the aversion to alcohol many of the families in the village worked on the farm for Wild and Robbins. Both Mr Wild (my G G Grandfather) and his partner Mr Robbins were strict Baptists and tee total.  (many of my ancestors signed "The Pledge")They expected their employees to be the same and even built a coffee house in the village as an alternative to the pub.  Stories are that the farm employees used to go into the pub by the back door and the coffee house is long gone!

I'll have a look in the books I have on the village for reference to the Starnes and PM scans to you if you like

Woody.

If one looks closely at the photograph, the words 'Longford Post Office' can be seen over the door of the shop and according to a birth record I found online, Longford is in or near to Staines, Middlesex, which makes sense since a number of the Starnes family are stated to have been born at Staines. However, I have so far been unable to find a Longford in relationship to Staines or any references to a post office there. There is a Longford in Ireland which muddies the water a bit.

Incidentally, I discovered that Percy Starnes and his wife Sara had three children, Alexander James (born at Staines in 1894), Kathleen Ellen (born at Staines in September 1896) and Leonard M. Starnes who was born about 1904, possibly in the United States since I can't find a record of his birth in the UK.

Thanks, Woody, for passing on my contact details.

I work in Longford, it's about a mile or so from Sipson and borders the northern runway of Heathrow Airport. I don't recognise that frontage although there are still some old houses and pubs standing.

Staines, Sipson and Longford must be fairly close to each other then, which makes sense so far as the Starnes family is concerned. Or, at least, my branch of it. It's difficult to date the photograph, but c. 1900 would be close since Percy Starnes appears to have emmigrated to the US in 1907, and made several trips back and forth in the preceding years. It would be nice to know the address of the Longford Post Office in 1900. O for a set of Post Office directories!
