Can anyone help with look up or general help with Parents of a Francis Agusta Rigby born in Monmouth 1859...I have found her on the 1861 census living with her grandparents Henry & Elizabth Elias.. So it looks as if between her birth and 61 her parents might have died or left monmouth as can find no trace after 61..

I know Francis later married a George James Baker in 1882..in southwark
Would like any help tracing her parents or where she was in between years.
Many Thanks in advance to all who might be able to help.

Hi Carole
Checked out Harriet Gowler cave marriage again its 1893 and she was born 1873 making her 20 when she got married to Walter Mills..! seems about right, .....then
 First daughter Beatrice was born in 1894,
Second daughter Alice born 1898/99
(might be a son) in between aunt not sure
 Third daughter Florence born 1907
 and youngest daughter Blanche born 1914

Don't understand the George Gowler  and Ann Cave marrige dates? as found a
George Gowler b 1853 married to Ann Cave with
Daughter Harriet age 6
Son George age 4
Son Robert ang 1
Living In Chaterries cambs which is where I have been told they all came from..

Sidney Missen was indeed married to Rosetta, she died,so it is said anyway? he then met Alice Mills and they married in the 1900 suspect 1918/20, their Eldest daughter Sylvia Missen being born around 1926 ish..
The onle record I can find for Sidney Missen is one of 3 after putting just missen into search,
 date of birth 1887..which would make him 12 years older than Alice. Also seems that Alice was named after Walter mills mother Alice
So think it is beginging to add up, Aunts memory is hazy...good days and Bad days..! but she does recognise most of the names i have given her, some she provided with out being prompt..
Alice Mills is still proving difficult to pin point but I will keep going..

Nobody has mentioned Harriet being married before?  Sidney Missen was..
Alice Mills was born in 1998 her sisters Beatrice mills 1894, and Blance mills 1914 also sister Florence born around 1907 according to aunt All have surname Mills so dates do not fit with a re marridge? no other sisters known of and she re calls harriet always living in cambs

Aunt was pretty sure Harriet Gowler was born at chatteries "station rd!
Can't find any information on Sids first wife at all..

Ricky could be his first wife i suppose/ can't find when he married Alice but know he was definatly married before and older than Alice by several years.
Thanks for help both of you, gets intriging could it be Alice and Sidney never actually married..

Have a little more information...and think I have found Sidney and Alices Mother and some sisters. Still not to sure on Alice Herself though..

Alice's Mother is indeed Harriet Gowler, but born in 1871  came from chatteries cambs..Aunt confirmed the Chateries
Found 2 of harriet and walters daughters, sisters to Alice ..Blanche ely district...mother maiden name Gowler..also Beatrice Ely district..Aunt confirmed both..Alas! can't find father hubby to harriet Walter Mills though.

Sidney I have found listed as just Sidney Missen b 1886/7 Cambs. Need to look further into that as not sure dates are quite right, but a good bet it's him as only 3 listed and other two are Sidney robert as already found and sidney Charles..  So getting closer.no idea on his parents though...need to look up Walter Mills and find Alice Mills now, Aunt seems to think she Alice Mary Mills..

Thank you..
