Hello to everyone and thanks for your suggestions...  I will follow those up today!

I am still no more well informed about Annie, so hope the QLD State Archives will prove useful.

Thanks again...

I am hoping that I will have more luck with this couple this time.

I asked for help a few years ago, but nothing came of it...

Stephen Roderick DONALDSON & Annie Frances LLOYD were my great great grandparents...

Stephen's occupation was listed as 'Publican' on his daughter's marriage certificate in 1885.

Their daughter, Annie Frances DONALDSON was born abt. 1864 in Manchester, Lancashire, England?

Annie obviously emigrated to Australia, because she married William Edmund ANSELL on 8 October 1885 in Cunnamulla, Queensland, Australia.

I have a sneaking suspicion she arrived in Queensland, Australia with her family from Ireland???   ???

Maybe she was never actually born in Manchester, Lancashire, England at all!

HELP please!!!   :)

Herts Completed Lookup Requests / ANSELL - Deaths - Abt. 1850
« on: Monday 03 September 07 00:36 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for information regarding the deaths of a mother and son abt. 1850.

Louisa ANSELL (m.s. SAMPFORD) died abt. 1850 along with her son William ANSELL, possibly in child birth or soon after???

Louisa was born 1815 in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire.

She was married to Samuel ANSELL in 1845 in Ware, Hertfordshire.

They had two sons:
John Francis ANSELL born 1847 in Derby, Derbyshire; and
William ANSELL born 1849 in Derby, Derbyshire.

It seems clear from census records that William did not live to be included in the 1851 census and Louisa had also died by this time, leaving Samuel ANSELL a widower...

Any help would be great!

When I had a look at FreeBMD, I found two entries for Louisa ANSELL:


Deaths Jun 1850   (>99%)
~~~~~~~~
 
ANSELL  Louisa    Wandsworth &c  4 364   

~~~~~~~~
Deaths Mar 1851   (99%)
~~~~~~~~
 
ANSELL  Louisa     London W  2 208

~~~~~~~~


I guess I won't be able to confirm exactly when and where she died???

Thanks for everyone's help so far...

By the way, my favourite site for measuring distances between places is Google Maps:

Herts Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Thomas GREEN & Hannah SAMPFORD - Ware

Thank you Ricky & Suz,

I think you've cracked the case...

Hannah SAMPFORD was the daughter of Miles SAMPFORD and the sister of John Francis ANSELL'S mother, Louisa SAMPFORD!

I love this forum!

Herts Completed Lookup Requests / Thomas GREEN & Hannah SAMPFORD - Ware
« on: Sunday 02 September 07 01:22 BST (UK)  »
In the 1851 census my great great uncle, John Francis ANSELL was living at Musley Lane, Ware, Hertfordshire with his uncle and aunt...

This couple was:
Thomas GREEN born abt. 1828 in Shoreditch, Middlesex.  Occupation: Malt Maker; and
Hannah GREEN (m.s. SAMPFORD) born abt. 1828 in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire.


I have found their marriage on FreeBMD:
Thomas GREEN married Hannah SAMPFORD in 1849 in Ware, Hertfordshire...

Problem is, I need to find out Hannah SAMPFORD'S parents to try and tie in her relationship with John Francis ANSELL.

I can't find any record of her birth and am trying to avoid having to buy the marriage certificate...

Can anyone help?

Best Wishes,

Quote: "Did you find John Frederick (Francis) ANSELL born 1847 on the 1851 census - was he living elsewhere?"

1851 Census:
Address: Musley Lane, Ware, Hertfordshire, England.
John ANSELL; Nephew; Age: 4; Born: Derby, Derbyshire, England.
In 1851 John Francis ANSELL was residing with:
(Grandmother) Mary SAMPFORD; Widow; Age: 68; Born: Widdington, Essex, England.
(Aunt) Hannah GREEN; Age: 23; Wife; Born: Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England.
(Uncle) Thomas GREEN; Age: 23; Head; Occupation: Malt Maker; Born: Shoreditch, Middlesex, England. 
(Hannah SAMPFORD married Thomas GREEN in 1849 in Ware, Hertfordshire, England.)

The mystery still remains as to what happened to Samuel and Louisa's son, William ANSELL...  He was born in 1849 in Derby, but cannot be found on the 1851 census.
