Help Going Back Further - Nightingales

[Jamesgb]

I have had some great help with tracing my family tree on here on my Fathers side and have managed to go back a lot further than I thought, so thank you everyone.

I am now at a stage where I have ordered a couple of birth certificates so cannot go any further until I have them so in the meantime I thought I would have a look at my mother’s side of which I don’t have a lot of information.

What I do have is the following and this is the furthest I have been able go back on the Nightingale side so if anyone could help in going back any further that would be great. As far as I know the Nightingales are all from the London/Essex areas.

William Nightingale (1866 – 1932)

Married Jane Ann Boness (1872 - ?) in 1890 in Mile End

They had the following children as far as I know;

Jane (1891) – Canning Town
Florence Elizabeth (1892) – West Ham
William (1894) – West Ham
Lilen (ABT 1895) - Poplar
Annie Maud (ABT 1897) – West Ham
Frederick John (1901) – West Ham
John (1904) – West Ham
George William (1906) - West Ham – My Great Grandfather
Rose Hannah (1908) – West Ham
Daisy May (1910) – West Ham

Any help or direction would be great, thank you again,

James

Thank you,
