eir kids Frank George Margaret and Arthur
-
Hi
Marriage was 1883 as per freebmd
-
Just to put some dates to this query, although if seeking living people then information re living people is not allowed to be posted but can be sent by pm.
Marriages Dec 1883 1/4
Christiana Annie Perry
Christina Annie Perry
William Chapman Reed
Leicester vol 7a page 448
1901
William Reed 40
Christina Reed 39
Frank Reed 17
George Reed 14
Margaret Reed 10
Arthur Reed 6
Margaret's birth registration shows her as Eliza Margaret reed which matches the 1911 census entry
Eliza Margaret Reed.
1891 March 1/4
Registration district - Barrow Upon Soar Leicestershire 7a/94
Arthur was registered with the middle name Henry and although George has acquired the middle name Chapman later I can't see a birth registration for a William with middle initial C in birth registrations.
There are 4 public trees on ancestry but none of them follow these children through
-
A possible marriage?
December 1/4 1916
Eliza M Reed to George P Weston Leicester 7a/548
FreeBMD is not showing any children to surname Weston, mother's maiden name Reed in Leicestershire 1916 - 1983 but there are 4/5 in Uxbridge and others in Wales.
-
There is no birth reg for a Frank Reed in Leicestershire 1883 - 1886 but there is this one, which is the registration district for Thurmaston.
Births June 1/4 1884
Francis William Reed Barrow S. 7a/179
-
A Francis William Read married an Edith Ann Bradbury registration district Ashby Z. Dec 1/4 1909
vol 7a page 182.
Ashby de la Zouch is about 30 miles from Thurmaston.
This couple had a daughter Mary E Read
Births March 1/4 1911 Ashby Z. 7a/97
If this is the Frank son of Christina/Christiana/Annie then I wonder if they kept the spelling Read?

Thanks for your replies
I am interested in the George Chapman Reed line and have seen the trees on Ancestry which provide no further information he married in 1915 to Ada Marston and they had 3 children Roland Barbara and Keith
I have certificates and photos belonging to this family and hope to find a close relative who may like to have them
-
Hi. Would i count as Ada Marston was my Grandad's sister and i am researching. I also have other family doing research who may be interested as well

Hi Sandra
Thanks for the reply
Yes I believe you may be of help
Ada Marston was my fathers Keith Barrie Reed mother also to Roland and Barbara
Roland is the only one I have met George Ada and Barbara having died many years ago of TB I was told

Hi Julie. I don't have much info on Ada apart from some dates and her parents details which i can look up for you if this is what you need. Unfortunately i didn't really know my dad's family so i'm always on the lookout for new info!

Hi Sandra
I have a short birth registration for Ada which says dhe was born on the 16th May1896 no parents on it though
I have my fathers full birth certificate parents George and Ada
The family resided at Reading St Thurmaston for many years it seems
I am slowly following Adas husbands siblings and hope I might find some family members
If you like I can give you some info on this branch of the family

Hi Sandra
Thanks for the info and yes would like siblings data too
I would prefer to use email for sending info though so if you want to send me a private message we can ecchange email addresses
I remember a photo on my fathers box of a woman and daughter who could be Ada and Barbars I will have to get the pics out again and have another look there was a few black and white pics and have no idea who they are either

Don't know if it is of any interest but I am descended from Arthur, the youngest of William and Christiana's children. I have some snippets of info that I got from my father, John (known as Jack), who was Arthur and Elsie's (known by her middle name of Eveline) 4th son. He spoke about his Auntie Mag (who was Margaret) and her husband Percy Weston. Percy may have been his middle name looking at your info. He lived on Reading Street until he was 14 and then the family moved into Leicester.
