London and Middlesex / Mystery not who you say you are
« on: Thursday 26 November 20 13:19 GMT (UK) »
My GG grandmother was called Nellie Doughty born in 1878 London she died 1972. She married a man called “hicks” in 1916 and had my great grandmother illegitimately in 1910 in Islington workhouse. The age she gave upon entering the workhouse would have put her date of birth at 1883, this is the first mystery. Until my great aunt gave me a copy of Nellies birth certificate recently I have never been able to confirm her family. There was a family I found on ancestry the parents called Thomas and Jane Doughty and it turned out this was the same names/maiden name on the birth certificate she had.
On ancestry the other families that have Nellie in their trees say she died in 1918 but obviously this can’t be true because 1) she was Nellie Hicks in 1918 not Doughty 2) she died in 1972 my mother went to her funeral.
So I ordered a copy of the death certificate for the Nellie Doughty that died in 1918 and I am shocked, on the certificate it gives osteoarthritis as the cause of death but more shocking is it says that her mother was Jane Doughty the same mother on Nellies birth certificate and the family address is the address that’s consistent on census documents.
This means that the women who’s my GG grandmother isn’t Nellie Doughty.
How did this happen? It’s like Nellie turned up to the workhouse in 1910 and gave a fake name?
If anyone can help me work through this I would really appreciate it.

Has anyone heard of this place? I thought maybe it was a misspelling of Gibraltar? It was listed as a birth place on a census for an ancestor 1881

Family History Beginners Board / Bigamist in the family
« on: Sunday 08 November 20 16:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,
So it’s a tale that’s handed down as gospel in the family that either a great great or great great great grandad was a bigamist that went to prison for it. I can’t find any research to prove this. I’ve only looked on ancestry and findmypast can anyone offer any tips to find out if this is true? Thanks
