In my tree I have Elizabeth Haines born C1836 Hartpury and died 1896 Gloucestershire.Elizabeth never married but she had 3 children.One of them Frederick John Haines born 22/7/1858.I have his two marriage certificates stating his father was William Dent farmer(A married man with a family).I could not find him in 1861(his mother Eliza is living in Somerset or at least I think its her) but I know from his baptism his mother is Elizabeth and in 1871 he is living with his mothers brother Charles.
The other two are the ones I am having a problem Alice born 1862 Maisemore and Henry born 1866 Maisemore.
Alice and Henry(Harry) were living with their mother at Maisemore in 1871.
in 1881 and 1891 Harry was with his mother and a widowed Charles Etheridge in Maisemore.
No sign of Harry(Henry) after that.
Alice in 1881 was an inmate at Magdalen Home in Gloucester.
No sign of Alice after that.Although I see a marriage in 1883 Gloucester 6a 535 but there are only 3 names under that date Alice Haines Arthur Greenway and Sarah Ann Watts.So did Alice marry Arthur Greenway or did she marry the second male not named.
I had these Birth registers Alice Haines March qtr 1862 Gloucester 6a 248.
Henry Haines Dec qtr 1866 Gloucester 6a 247.
The trouble is when I look them births up on the GRO index Alice birth says mothers maiden name Dugard and Henry's mothers maiden name Barnard.Well Elizabeth Haines was their mother and her parents were Charles Haines and Hannah Walker.
So you can now see I am confused
.
It was okay until I found them on GRO.I have never tried to find what happened to them both before I wonder where Alice went after 1881 and Henry or Harry after 1891.
