England / is louisa a twin ?
« on: Saturday 21 March 09 23:33 GMT (UK)  »
hi there
on the great 1911 census i found out that my grandmother had 6 siblings unbeknown to the family. Her name was Mary Ellen craven the only one child  to survive. the other six children had died As a family we had heard of  3 of the children, Elizabeth Jane, Henry Tom, Annie Victoria May so i was hoping to find out about the others but nobody in the family knew of them so I went to the Leeds library to the local studies area where in a baptism record for st matthews (little London ) 1885 - 1899 (local church to the family address at the time ) I found a little one called Louisa craven to gr grandparents henry and Susan ( real name Susanna ) craven but no more names were found. I then came home and went on ancestry where i came across a Louisa craven born qtr o/n/d Leeds vol 9b Page 531 1896 which ties in with the baptism record but also on same page there was a Sarah craven so  I went back to the library the following day to see if i had missed her in the baptisms and she was not there  I was wondering how would i know if Louisa had a twin. Could anyone so kindly advise me or give me an idea what to do now. Is there another way of finding the names of the other children? many thanks

« on: Friday 16 May 08 21:14 BST (UK)  »
would somebody be so kind to see if they could find for me any relatives or siblings of Joseph and Charlotte Caves.  They were married in Bradden Parish Church by license in May 1804.  Witnesses were a Benjamin button and Ruth button. They had a daughter Sarah (baptized  may 15 1804 )  but unsure if there are any other brothers of sisters.  Not sure who Ruth and Benjamin were (mum and dad to Charlotte??) Is there any info regarding Joseph Caves or his family ?
Many thanks for any help you may be able to give

Lancashire / Susannah Craven
« on: Monday 12 May 08 21:34 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have any information on my g.grandmother Susannah craven I seem to have lost her in 1891 . In 1881 she is a domestic in somebody's house a Mr Hopwood in Chorlton-on medlock . After this date I don't know where she is till she turns up in Leeds west Yorkshire. My Nan was born in 1897 in Leeds so I know she is here then. On her birth certificate mum's name is Susanna craven late Morley but I can not for the life of me find this elusive guy.  Craven was my g.grandmothers maiden name by the way !! My Nan's father name was Lewin henry Bleek otherwise known as Craven. I think he took Susanna's name to look respectable.  but who is Mr Morley !?? ???
