Following some help the other day (see earlier thread) Annie Love was found on the 1901 census living in Castle Ashby with her aunt Anne Amadio who was 87/88.

I believe that in order for Anne Amadio to have been her aunt, the link must have been on the maternal (Morris) side.  Anne Morris (b 1813) married Fortunato Guiseppe Luigi Amadio.  Annie Love's mother was called Mary Ann Morris, but was not born until 1834.  Is it possible that these two were sisters and this is how Annie Love was Anne's niece?

I seem to have hit a brick wall 

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place, as I know it's not specifically a Lookup Request.

I'd be very grateful for any replies.

I have received a lot of help from here in the past for which I'm very grateful, so I'll try another request.

There is a family story which I'm trying to get to the bottom of, truth or not.

In the 1891 Census there is an Annie Love (born Wellingborough approx. 1877) who is shown as being a servant at Castle Ashby.  The story is that she fell pregnant whilst unmarried and had a son called Charlie Love and they moved to Nottingham.

I have been unable to trace Annie on a census for either 1901 or 1911.  I'm not sure when Charles Love was born (apart from it was before 1914) or when she moved to Nottingham.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Many thanks.

There seems to be so many of them!

I have a William Plowman born c 1835 who marries a Mary Elizabeth Setchell in Dec qtr 1862.

I can find them in Wellingborough in the 1871, but thereafer lose track of William.

Mary appears on her own in the 1881 census, so I assume that William has died before then.   Her last child (Edward) was born in 1876, so am I right in assuming that William must have died between 1876 and the 1881 census?

Many thanks,

Hi,

I'm wondering if anybody can help.  I have two people on my family tree who I can trace so far, and then lose all track.  I'm hoping that somebody may be able to suggest where else I can look.

The first is Elsie Brown.  She was born approx 1892 in Northampton to parents James and Helen Brown (nee Southam).  She is showing on the 1911 census at aged 19 living at 7 Foundry Street, Northampton.  I can't find anything about her after this time.  Any ideas?  I appreciate that Brown is not one of the easiest names to trace.

Secondly Jersey Addington was born in Holcot, Northamptonshire in about 1866, and shows on the 1871 census as living in Holcot with his parents Richard and Mary Addington (nee Webb).  Unfortunately Richard murdered Mary in about April 1871 and was hanged in September 1871.  I'm still trying to find out more details about this - would a local newspaper be any use?

Jersey's elder brother George is shown on the 1881 census as living with his maternal grandmother in Towcester, but I have no information at all relating to Jersey.

Any ideas/tips gratefull received.

Many thanks,

Alison
