It does look like the correct family on the censuses though. Just that William seemed to have problems about his birthplace - not all that unusual though. They liked to keep us on our toes 

I'll see if I can find anything else for you.

Hi,

Annie Williams b1865, married Alec Titley?,  they had a child named Minnie after her aunt.  Minnie married someone named Doody (I don't know if this is his surname or a nickname).  Unfortunatley I don't have any dates for Minnie.

I would be grateful of any help with this.

Hi DSC

Could you give some approx. dates for Annie's marriage to Alec and do you have them on any census?

Regards

Hi,

Sorry I don't have any dates, only Annie was born in 1865.  Not a lot to go on, only word of mouth.

[Gadget]

So this might not be your Annie then.

I think if I were you, I'd follow up her daughter, Minnie - marriage, birth, etc. and then try finding them on the censuses so that you could locate an approx date of marriage for Annie and Alec.

Do you have an approx date of birth for Minnie?
