There's a familysearch record implying a different birth surname for ellen

What 1871 and 1881 record are you looking at?

Hi Pauline,
I do already have her in the 1911 census and 1901

As for the marriage certificate - no I haven't seen the original and at the moment we've had to cut back on all unnecessary expenses (hence not renewing the subscription tomorrow) as I have just had a baby.

A different birth surname for Ellen? How strange! I am struggling to find her birth under Regan or Clements though so maybe.. but not sure how I'd find it. That's part of why I dismissed her mother as Honora!

These were the census records I was looking at:

Hoping you guys can help, this is the last person I don't have for the 7th generation for my husband - I'm trying to get a bit of research in while I can as my subscription on myheritage runs out tomorrow but have got stuck on this person for that generation!

So I have Ellen Clements (Born Circa 1870 Monmouthshire) who married John Challenger (B Oct 1871 Monmouthshire) in 1895 in Monmouthshire.

I am looking for Ellen's mother - I have Ellen in the 1901 and 1911 census records but none from before marriage. I have her father as John Clements from the Wales Parish marriage and banns.

I just can't find her or her parents in census records..

I can see for 1871 there is a record for Ellen Clements with a mum being Hanora Regan who is clements in 1881 however in GRO there is no Ellen Clements born with a MMN Regan nor an Ellen Regan with MMN Regan and there is no marriage between a John Clements and Hanora Regan that I can see.

I'd appreciate any help you can give! Do let me know if any more information is needed.

Thank you

The 1897 marriage image is on FindMyPast
Alfreds father is William LLoyd a joiner, Sarahs is David Newport a Labourer

Perfect! I'm starting to wonder if I should have done a subscription to Findmypast rather than myheritage...lol.

1901 3337 /146/8
 Arthur Lloyd , 23 yrs b Manley, Cheshire

1891 2834/ 11

Arthur Lloyd 16 yrs b Manley

1881 3519 /66/8

Arthur Lloyd 5 yrs b Manley
With parents William and Betsey and siblings

Thank you! It was narrowing down which one was the right one without parent names which was proving impossible - these give me a bit more to go on so appreciate it.

Edit: and myheritage has his name down as Author on 1881 census!! Wouldn't have been in my search results anyway!

Hiya!

So, I'm currently doing some research for my step father's family as hoping to print it out as a present for him however am stuck in two places on his mothers side for his grandparents - I just can't seem to find these records so I'd appreciate any help you can give!

His mother is Valerie Constance Lloyd DOB1935 and grandparents are Arthur Harold Lloyd (DOB 05.11.1900 in Cheshire) and Minnie Hughes (DOB 06.1901 Cheshire) - They married in 1919 in Runcorn.

I can see that his grandfather Arthur's parents were Arthur Lloyd (Circa 1877, Cheshire) and Sarah Newport (Married Arthur 1897) and have them in census records post marriage however I can't seem to find Arthur's parents names or narrow down as his name isn't very uncommon pre marriage :/ Is there any way to do this without buying a marriage certificate?

The other side was Minnie Hughes parents - I can see her mother's maiden name was Spragg and found some siblings (Joshua Caleb Hughes 1893; Samuel Hughes 1897, Charlotte Hughes 1899; Jonathan Hughes 1904) however I can't seem to find these names together in any census records - so therefore have been unable to track what her parents names are!

Let me know if you need any more info - Thank you!
