We are currently dealing with interring my parents ashes with my late sister who is buried in All Saints Cemetery, Maidenhead.
While I was in touch with 'outdoor Facilities' I discovered that there is a Clara Jane Cleal buried there as well as my sister, great grand parents and great great grandparents, however I have no idea if Clara Jane is a relation and I am trying to discover if she is or not.

Clara died in 1945, I looked at her Will which says she was a widow (but not who to !) She lived at 53 Park Street, Maidenhead. She left her estate between her two nieces (not equally) One was Ethel Freda Toms (b.1898) who lived in  Hanson Gardens, Southall, Middlesex and the other was Violet Ida Turnbar or Tumbar (?) . The executer was Ethel's husband John Henry Toms (b 1896 )

BTW her estate was £631 1s 7d which wasn't bad for 1945 I guess.

I thought if I could find John & Ethels marriage I may have been able to work backward to find a maiden name for Clara and then find a marriage, but no luck so far...

Can anyone help or offer suggestions please

TIA

  I am researching the family of Minnie (nee Harman, born Denham ) and Edward William Cleal (born Taplow)
On the 2011 I can locate both parents, Minnie at Belmont House, Belmont Road, Maidenhead and Edward at The Welcome, Sipsom(?), Yiewsley. In addition I can locate William A working as a Grocers Apprentice in East Street Maidenhead with his Aunt, Alice King.
However this leaves:
Edward b.1898
Charles b.1900
Albert b.1901
Dorothy b.1903
Ivy b.1906

Another child, Minnie Rose had died in 1902

Aged between 5 - 13 I'd have expected to find them together somewhere.......any thoughts or help gratefully accepted ......

 I have a query regarding Edward Harmon/Harman in so far as I would like to prove or disprove whether the IGI is correct.
On the page with his family is Edward Harmon  given as being born in Alcester (1797), he marries Rebecca Hutchins in 1818 in Watford, however there are other Edward Harman/Harmon's who were born closer and seem just as likely (one in Kings Langley for example)

I had thought that maybe the death cert would give a clue, (age?) but my guess is that Edward and Rebeca had more than one child (who may have reported the death) but I can find no births for Denham in Hugh Wallis, only marriages - is there a way to find the births ?

Is there a way to discover how or why the submitter decided on one particular person being 'the' one ?

Thanks in advance for any help

 After various frights this weekend (where I thought I had lost my data) I thought it may be a good idea to import all my Legacy data into Ancestry, so I made a Gedcom file in preparation, however I already have an Ancestry tree which I would rather not lose as all the hints and records are attached.

Can I either add the data to my existing tree or start a new one so I have two trees ?

 I posted about this line some time ago, nothing much has changed. I have Elizabeth Sumner married to George Robinson. 4th June 1843 at St Leonards Forte in London
Elizabeth was born in or around 1821 and on census is listed as born in Calcutta British Subject. Her father was TW Sumner, Merchant and the given address was York Street, London

Looking at Fibis I have found bonds for TW Sumner and on the shipping lists there is a record of a Mr TW Sumner, Mrs Sumner, Isabella Anne Sumner, James William Sumner and Elizabeth Sumner returning to the UK on the ship the Albion, in 1824.

So far I have ben unable to locate marriages for the other children or anything on the 1841 or 1851 census that would definatley indicate being this family.

If I went to the British library, would it help ? I'd like to find out more about Mrs Sumner if possible (her maiden name) and then what happened to the family afterwards.
It looks as if Thomas William Sumner returned to India, by the date on some of the bonds
