Hi Keyboard,

Neither names ring bells here. My wife's family are descendants of John DIX from Somerset and Catherine MORGAN from Builth Wells. They had 10 children, mostly before they got married and so it is quite likely that Gladys and Beatrice are related to our lot but there is a limit to cousin searching

I wonder if some kind soul with access to the 1911 census would look up the entry for John DIX on the 1911 census. He was born about 1856 in Newport. He was married to Sophia and had children as follows: Edith, Rose, Arthur, Hilda, Elsie and Ester. I am trying to determine whether Arthur was still alive in 1911 and where they were living. But all the information on the census would be great if it is not too much trouble.

Thanks

In 1841 an Edwd Coppard in Westham had two Everests living with him - William and Harriet, both aged a rounded 25.

Thanks for all the interest Jon but,

this William EVEREST is a son of my William. The Harriet is Harriet DUNK. The Coppards are a bit of a red Herring in  finding the origins of my 3 x Great Grand mother I'm afraid.

My 3 x Great grandparents were William EVEREST and Harriet GURR. They married on 13 September 1807 in St Nicholas Church, Pevensey, Sussex..

They appear on the 1841 census in St Leonards.
By 1851 William has died and Harriet appears on the census as a widow aged 62 from Westham and then on the 1871 census she is listed as 83 from Westham. She dies in Oct 1877 aged 90.
I cannot find her in 1861 census.

This gives her date of birth as roughly 1787/8/9.

I have found through Ancestry transcription of FHL parish records the baptism of a Harriot GURR in Chiddingly, Sussex on the 24 May 1790 (with a DOB of 21 Feb 1790). Father John GURR, mother Mary.

Does anyone else recognise this Harriot GURR as part of their family tree so that I can disount her from my own.
