Charles Andre Mills
« on: Sunday 10 February 13 12:51 GMT (UK) »

Hi All

Can anyone help with this sticky problem.  My 3 x Gt Uncle Charles Andre Mills was born in 1796 in St Mary Pulham Norfolk.   His parents were my 4th x Gt Grandparents, Ebenezer Mills and Marie Julienne Phillipine Andre.   Charles and Ebenezer were doctors.

The problem I am having is finding Charles' wife.  I have no maiden name but her name was Anna born c1806 in Mildenhall Suffolk.  They had a daughter Susanna born 1835 in the City of Norfolk, the same year that Charles and Anna married.

Have looked at Pallett's and Family Search.   I have found the christening details in family search but only Susanna's father is listed.  No mention of Anna in any of the census, perhaps she died in childbirth.   I find it odd that there is no reference to her anywhere. 

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

I wonder if Charles actually married  :-\  Every census 1851 onwards he says he is unmarried though one has been altered by an enumerator but probably as he has Susanna as a daughter with him.  I see Anc* trees have a wife as Anna.  Where is Susanna in 1841 & 1851 before she lives with her father.   (Strangely he is living next door but one to a member of my family in 1881  ;D   )

Hello,

This is a curious one!

I'm wondering if you have seen Ebenezer Mills' will?  The will was made in 1849, with a codicil dated the same year. I believe Ebenezer died in 1854.

In it, he mentions Charles Andre several times, but each time, the wording indicates that Charles has no "issue".

The will does mention two of Ebenezer's granddaughters, Susannah and Julia, but it appears these two were daughters of Philip Henry Mills, Charles' brother ....

Apologies if you have already seen it, but here's a link - http://www.norfolksources.norfolk.gov.uk/DserveNS/dserve.exe?dsqServer=NCC3CL01&dsqIni=dserveProbate.ini&dsqApp=ArchiveNS&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqPos=0&dsqSearch=%28%28text%29%3D%27Ebenezer%20Mills%27%29

There are about ten pages of it - this is the first ... sorry for the long link.  I tried to "shrink" it, but it wouldn't work.

To everyone thanks for your help and especially to Yorkslass.   I looked up the 1841C Rosie and he is living in Pulham St Mary with servants.  I do believe that Susanna does belong to his brother.   Rosie it is amazing that your family and Charles were neighbours.   Out of interest who was it that Charles lived near  :)  As ever I find this site invaluable and hope that I can help someone one day as much as I have been helped by this wonderful site and its contributors.

Have searched and searched today for Charles' brother's marriage i.e. Phillip Henry.  Cannot find anything.   As has been mentioned, Ebenezer was clear about his 2 grandaughters Susanna and Julia being Philip's daughters.  I am wondering if he used his middle name Henry, there are plenty of Henry Mills in Norfolk, but unfortunately am not sure which county Philip was born in.
