Anne

Hi both
Eileen do you have any family details for Louisa?
The one Anne has found is the nearest in age, but there is a Louisa b Merthyr which is nearer geographically.
Do you know her father's name from either of the marriage certs?
kind regards, Arranroots ;)
-
Hi,
thank you both for looking for me, I do not have Louisa's marriage cert, but will send for it, to obtain her father's name. I do not have any family details, as my father is very tight lipped about his mothers family, Louisa's Son, William Hook, apparently made a very quick exit from Ross when he was young, because of some trouble he was in, (I
haven't found out what) and went to London.
I will ask for another look up when I have the cert, or maybe it will prove Ann's is the one.
Thank you both for the look up and advice.
Kind regards Eileen
-
Hi again Eileen
Do you know anything more about William? If we can find him on censuses with his family, it should be possible (in theory!) to trace his mother backwards. What was Mr HOOK's first name? When were they married?
I had a quick look and couldn't find a Louisa HOOK on later censuses that appeared to match (unless she was known as Annie and had a daughter Louisa?)
kind regards, Arranroots ;)
-
Hi Arranroots, Thank you for getting back to me,
on the 1881 found William Hook as Stepson, (who is my gr grandfather).
James Parry 41 Head Tanner and finisher
Louisa Parry Wife 33
William Hook stepson 11 scholar
Ann Hook stepdaughter 10
Edith Pary 3
Lily pary 1
Kyrle st
Ross Hereford
piece 2585/59
page 16
found Louisa's marriage to William Hook 1868, and to James Parry 1875, on BMD.
Kind regards Eileen

Thanks Eileen
Where did the marriages take place please? Cancel that - You said they are in Ross.
I am having another look now

Ok going back in easy stages:
1871 census
RG10/3127/65/24
275 New John St West, Birmingham
William HOOK H M 24 - baker - Herefordshire Ross
Louisa W M 22 - Glam Tredegar
William G son 1 - Herefordshire Ross
Louisa A dau 1 month - Herefordshire Hereford
/
Richard KINNERSLEY lodger M 24 - staker in a skin yard - Surrey
Sarah A ditto wife M 20 - Glam Tredegar
I wonder if Sarah is a sister to Louisa?
-
Hi Arronroots, Yes you are right! sarah is Louisa's sister just checked her marriage out on BMD, june 1870. Sarah Price and Richard Kinnersley.
-
Well, that is some progress at least!
I am afraid I haven't found them on the earlier censuses though.
It would be worth getting a marriage cert, to see who the parents are.
I have looked at both England & Wales.
It occurs to me that the 1901 with Ann & daughter Louisa might be worth looking at again, as they seem to use these names interchangably! - done that - it is not them
A ;)
-
Hi again, Thanks for your help, I am wondering if on Ann's 1851 census look up, Aga Daughter 2 months, could be Sarah, or am I clutching at straws? Will send for the marriage cert, to make sure.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Eileen
It is certainly logical for Aga to be Sarah, but it is written beautifully, so it is not a misreading or mistranscription. Not a name i have come across...
I suppose if the enumerator looped the bottom of the S it could look like an A g a, then when he copied it up he made it neater?
Let us know if you get anything interesting out of the marriage cert!
kind regards, Arranroots ;)
-
Will let you know the out come! I have a Alga in my husband's tree. so it could be alga.
Kind Regards Eileen

Hi Ladies
Have a look at HO 107 2448 72 10
Market St Tredegar

Not sure whether Louiza is 3 or 5
Rhys

Hi Rhys, Thank's for your reply, and look up, I am unable to look up the piece you mentioned, as I do not have the 1851 census for this area, is Sarah and Louisa's surname Price?

-
Hi Arranroots,
Yes it does! I will copy this and Ann's, so when I have the cert, with Louisa's father's name on, I will have the right family.
loads of thanks for your help,
Kind Regards Eileen
-
The funny name should read Emma Cordelia PRICE born Hay Dec q 1841 (vol 26 page??)
;)
-
Eileen,
Did you ever establish if this was the correct family for your Louisa PRICE (i.e parents George and Sarah)?
These people are definitely my family - Louisa's parents are my great-great-great-grandparents.
I should be so interested to know if we have a connection.
