Title: Ann Monica Nichols from Robertson?
Post by: KristenErin on Monday 13 June 16 16:07 BST (UK)
In my search for family, I've come across an Ann Monica Nichols, born in 1875, apparently in a place called Robertson, Wales, yet there's no information anywhere on where Robertson is or was. Can anyone help me?

Thanks so much!

Hi

Does Ann's birthplace come from a census??  I have been looking but can't see her :)

No, I have this list I found on the Internet and it lists my distant cousins, great grandparents, great uncles and aunts and other extended family.

List is available here: http://www.library.turnbullclan.com/tca_genealogy/tca_all2-o/exhibits/henwood-x-teagues.pdf

She is the wife of one of my distant cousins, and I don't know where Robertson even is. It wont come up on Ancestry, where my tree is.

Thanks - How strange.   She married Alexander Teague in 1900 but isn't with him in 1901??

No idea! It's very strange and I'm very confused.

She is a widow on the next census though her husband has remarried.  Perhaps she wanted to continue teaching and would not have been able to as she was married  :-\

That list you have is not very accurate is it. It has Royal D D Teague as a son of Ann Monica whereas the birth is registered as Ackland so obviously a son of Alexanders next wife Lottie Ackland to a previous relationship.

the last time it was updated was 2009, and it has errors throughout the whole thing

Still it is good to have something to look at and pick fault with.  Online records have improved so much over the last few years.   I can't give details but have you looked at the 1911 entry for her and the place of birth given there.   ;D

To see the original return you will need to view on a pay per view site.  Ancestry & sometimes FindMyPast are available free at UK libraries
