Hi Evey one,

I should have mentioned the second guardian in my original post, sorry.

It has always been assumed this is the same child, but this is open to debate.

Thanks for your interest in this, we have followed many a dead end on this and unfortunately can not really add any more  information.

The Common Room / Help Needed Again Please
« on: Monday 13 August 18 00:39 BST (UK)  »
A few years age the people on this site helped me break down a brick wall for a friend. I am hoping for help again with the family.

Here is the link to the original post. I feel it may help

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=724186.msg5718585#msg5718585

We have found out a few things since.
Harry Ryan & Edith May Neal finally married 26 May 1911 in the Roman Catholic Church in St. Heliers, Jersey.

Their children Daniel, and Ethel were presented at the service and granted legitimacy.

However, the marriage appears not to have lasted. Harry's WW1 file states he's married to Edith but her address is unknown. He lists Daniel and Ethel as children but also a son John 2 yrs old with guardian Mrs Cliff, 47? St. Katherines Rd?, Notting Hill.

This is crossed out so guessing not a legitimate child.

The family I'm trying to help would love to know who John aged 2 is. Did he have any children?
Have they a half family?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, but also realise we are getting into the "possible living" area.

We also have no idea what happened to Harry or Edith after 1911.

Here is WW1 record for those who have FindMyPast, can't find it on Ancestry.

Thank you in advance

Geoff

Hi,

I know this is an old post, but I've just discovered it.

I've also just discovered that Benjamin Clover of Great Bromley was a brother to John Clover of Oakley that windy_miller referred to. Both were born in Hitcham the sons of John Clover and Anna ???

Another brother James Clover a farmer appears to have purchased the Great Bromley mill and left it to his son John in 1789.

A look on Freereg for BILNER (and name Soundex) has what appear to be Charles & Sarah's children being baptised in Wix Methodist Church.

SEAX registers show some being buried in St. Michael, Ramsey

Hi AmyUK

Just found your post. I am a direct descendant of Sarah Clover's parents - James CLOVER & Sarah WILSON.

Between 1860 and 1876 there is only one BILNER baptism in St.Micheal, Ramsey (as far as I have found)

29 July 1867 Mary dtr of Charles & Sarah BILNER - Labourer - Ramsey

GRO has birth as BILLNER mother's maiden name CLOVER in Tendring District

GRO also has another Mary BILLNER 1866 mother's maiden name CLOVER in Tendring District

I've not followed the BILNER line much, but have some info if you are still looking.

Thanks Emelton

That's a good idea. I'll give it a try.

Hi emelton

They did indeed have 9 children although 2 died in infancy.

My problem is I have no marriage for John & Martha and the Hitcham one seems likely but I need to confirm it.

There are very few Clover records in the area prior to John & Martha, suggesting they were from another area.

Hi solidrock

Thanks for that, it is possibly one of their children that I did not have.

I am researching my Clover line from Essex. John Clover was married to a Martha and was a Miller in Great Oakley. He died in 1783 and the earliest record I have is the baptism of their daughter Martha Clover 1739 in Great Oakley. I've never found their marriage or John's baptism.

Am wondering if the Hitcham marriage is them, as the Clovers were a Milling family in Suffolk at the time.

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / 1736 Hitcham Marriage Lookup Please
« on: Saturday 04 November 17 21:25 GMT (UK)  »
Boyd's has a marriage record of John Clover marrying Martha Peg in Hitcham 1736.

If anyone has access to the registers I would be very grateful for a look up. Especially interested in groom's parish and occupation if mentioned, but any info would be more than welcome.

Thank you
