Europe / Re: SWITZERLAND: Does anyone have access to "Swiss Surnames: A Complete Register"

Dear MR - I wonder if you would be able to do a lookup for me too please - the name I am after is HEPP in the Ruti/Zurich area.  Thanks!

Australia Lookups completed / Re: Daisy Emily Elizabeth GREEN - Completed with thanks

Daisy was descended from the well known ebeniste (commode maker) Pierre Langlois.  Some of his work is in the V&A and the Queen has some in Buckingham Palace as well I believe!

Jacqui, that's amazing, thank you!  At least now we have that definite link with the address and the butchering so the chances of this indeed being my man have increased to nigh on certainty!  I now have a whole lot of other digging to do.  I will add to that Felstead thread too.

I really do appreciate all your work!

Ah!  I was wondering about the wedding rings!  So they were both married ladies at that time.

They are later than my mum indicated (not surprised, she has been systematically wrong with all her information thus far!) as she had identified them as a lady born 1827 and 1860! (her grandmother and great grandmother).  Back to the drawing board with identification then!!!  She also believed that the single lady was one who died in 1865 so way off the mark!!!!

If they are mother and daughter i would say the one on the left is the mother  :D

Judy  ;)

Thanks, so would I!!!  Indeed, there is little similarity between them.  The chances of them being sisters I guess is equally slim.  I havent seen them quite so large before and am astonished that my small granddaughter just came in and asked if the one on the right was me!!!!  Oh dear, but I do see the similarities!

I think the one on the left looks very sick actually - and am just wondering whether she could possibly have been the single lady when she was in prime health.  If the single lady is who my mum thinks she is, then she did die young.

Sorry about the quality of these but my scanner is on the blink - I hope there is enough information to hazard a guess as to possible dates for these ladies

These are both on metal plates (daguerreotypes?) and both quite dark in real life.

My mum tells me that the two ladies are mother and daughter - in which case, which one do you all think is the mother?  Mum and I disagree on this one!

Thank you very much for taking the time!

OK, tar and feathers in abeyance.  Still searching for where he might have gone next but he seems pretty elusive!

Wow this gets more convoluted by the minute! I wish I could knock 10 years off my age with impunity.  It certainly looks as if George snr wasnt the best of fathers.  Thank you so much for all the work you have done!

Just seen George and Annie on the 1881 census - their grandmother listed them as Irish which is interesting!

I wonder where George snr was in 1881, maybe he was dead by then too.
