Brett - In Harlow
« on: Thursday 29 September 05 13:37 BST (UK) »

Well I am a total newbie on this genealogy lark, I posted in the new members bit and it was suggested I posted here too...

My Dad's family are from Middlesex/London St Pancras and I struggled at first, but am now on a roll and have found my G G G grandmother born in 1834 was born in Harlow, Essex - which was where I was born.  Now with this amazing coincidence I am hooked on trying to find more.  But am at a dead end.

She was in the 1881 census with her 3 children, but widdowed, so I don't know her husbands name, or her maiden name. 

14 Durnford Terrace                       
London, Middlesex                       
Harriett   BRETT   Head   W   Female   47   Harlow, Essex   Laundress
Harriett   BRETT   Daur   U   Female   20   London, Middlesex   Capsule Maker
Eliz.   BRETT   Daur   Female      18   London, Middlesex   Paper Stainer
George   BRETT   Son   U Male   16   London, Middlesex   Pianoforte Maker

Where do I go from here....is it worth paying for something?  I have spent £5 on familyhistoryonline which helped with my Mother's side as they are all in Cornwall/Devon, but no real help for Essex and Middx.

I have found a few links from here, but as yet not found any more info...but there is so much here I will keep looking.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I forgot this is my tree...very very rough...I need a 'program' to enter it:

Thank you - that is great stuff - intresting to see the transcription error in 1861.  That is obviously my family.

Just need to try and find out more about my Harriett from Harlow.

Will have a wander round some more links on here.

Thanks for all that info - will look through it.  The Harlow ones doesn't quite look right with birth dates, but I guess it could be wrong.

Would be great if it were the right one.

I have just got the marriage certificate, being very new to this I am hoping someone can advise.

On the certificate it says that Harriett's (looks like Harriott) father is Joseph but down as a plumber rather than a painter, I am wondering whether they were a bit of everything in those days and that this is the same thing.  Is there anyway i can find out more definite info on her parents?

This part of my tree has got me stumped, Now I know that George B1824 married Harriett as I have the certificate.  But that is pretty much it, he was born in Essex and his father was James and he was a Railway Porter.  I can't find George on the 1851 census or James (but I guess he may be dead)

Can anyone advise, not sure where else to look
