Hi Debbie,
It is a very long story this one, but here goes. My great grandfather, was a Walter Giles, he married for the second time to a Susannah Carter, they had my grampa.
I have the wedding certificate and it says he was a widower. And when Walter and Susannah married he had had a child called Rachael Emily. But I can not find a record of Walter's marriage before, all I have is family hearsay it was a girl called Emily, no real proof.
I do not know where to go from here, I am chasing my tail. I have got one wedding certificate but wrong one, Walters dad was wrong name.
Now when he married second time it was 1902, he was 35, I have found Rachael's birth I think but again not sure. So I think I had better just try and get certificate and go from there.
Cheers 58holden

Hello, 58Holden.
I think I am related to the Emily Giles you are seeking information about. I believe her full name was Emily Annie Woods Giles and that she married John Richard Reynolds, who was my great grandfather. His son, John Allmond Reynolds was my grandfather (who married Amelia Wilcox). I am the son of Edna Reynolds - John Allmond's daughter. John Allmond Reynolds was born in 1880. Do these dates fit in with the Giles you are looking for? I haven't researched any of this in depth but I would be glad to hear if you have any information regarding my family tree.
Best wishes in your search.
My grandfather, incidentally, is buried in Sutton Courtenay. He died in 1945.
Sincerely,
J.Reynolds (username)

Hello again.
The information I have is from my grandfather's death certificate. He was John Allmond Reynolds born 2nd Dec 1880 in Wallingford/died 19th. July 1945, buried Sutton Courtenay. One of about 11 children (so it would be just about possible for your Emily to have been his mother.) His father was John Richard Reynolds who married an Emily Annie Wood Reynolds (nee Giles). I assume the 'Wood' part of that name is her mother's preserved maiden name.
John Richard Reynolds owned a hotel in Wallingford. John Allmond (my grandfather) married Amelia Reynolds (nee Wilcox) in 1903 and my mother, Edna Reynolds was a child of that marriage. My mother often used to mention Culham and Abingdon and I believe she, or her father/grandfather, lived in one or both of these places.
I don't know much about the Giles side of the family. Could your Walter Giles have had a sister Emily? I understand, on the Reynolds side of the family, that we were distantly related to Sir Joshua Reynolds but I haven't been able to check that out.
I don't know whether any of this is useful or might give you a 'lead'. If it does, I'd be glad to hear about it.
Best wishes,
J.Reynolds (username)

Hello again, Nicola (58holden) and Lesanne.
I don't know, as yet, when my Emily Giles was born. The posted reply by 'Debbie' suggests that there's an Emily Giles in the 1891 Census who was 27 and buried in Abingdon Churchyard. This is the one who could possibly be my grandfather's mother. Walter's sister Emily would have been too young (7) if she was born circa 1873.
I've stumbled on the name Emily Giles in my search for my mother's adopted son by her first marriage to a Wallace James Cave (d.1958). His name was Brian Cave and he is/was the grandson of Emily Giles. If still alive, he'd be in his mid-seventies now. This branch of the Caves seem to have come mostly from Bridgewater. My mother tried to find him before she died but sadly, was unsuccessful.
The plot thickens -- but if I find out anything that might be useful to you, I'll make a posting.
Cheers, Alan

) - but at least now you know that you are looking for a Rachel not an Emily. I think Walter had a sister Emily and that may be where the confusion came from
Hi, Just tagging on to this, as I too, would be interested in the outcome.
