Fred LENG b.1858

Also, your Tobias 'L' Annison was in fact Tobias Smith Annison, who married Ida Elizabeth Malton in Dec 1883 Sculcoates

Here he is in 1881:
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=uki1881&indiv=try&h=26037825

His father Edward Stewar(t/d) Annison was married to Selina Ursula Hastings before marrying Mary Ann. Selina dies in 1855, and he remarries Mary Ann Smith very soon afterwards. (Dec 1855 Sculcoates) 

Tanja, would you mind sharing the route you took to find this information?  That would be very helpful. Especially the information regarding his marriages. Thanks a lot.

Well, he is quite easy to trace - a good start for you 

From the 1881 census, we know his name, age and birthplace - Ludham Norfolk 1815. Searching census returns for him, there is only one possible man, who is married to Mary Ann in 1881, 1871 and 1861, but to a Selina in 1851 and 1841. As you have a subscription to census returns, I think you should be able to find him. Give me a shout if you have a problem.

On FreeBMD (also searchable on ancestry), the only possible death for him is :
Edward Steward Annison in March quarter 1891 Sculcoates.

Now that we have got his full name, we can search for his marriages. I see 2 marriages for him:
Dec 1837 Tunstead Volume 13 page 694.
Clicking on the page number for the different possible spouses, there's a Selina Ursula Hastings.

Dec 1855 Sculcoates 9d 323 to either Emma Clarkson or Mary Ann Smith.

Ahh. I think the mist is starting to clear, now. I couldn't see how to get the name of the married couple from the FreeBMD - I didn't understand the function of the "click to see others" link. So, as I see it now: the FBMD holds an index to a Vol and Page, we can't see that page but the "click ... others" link searches the FBMD for other people who are indexed to the same Vol and Page, and from that we can infer the partners in the marriage. Cool.

One other thing that came to mind from your explanation: it sounds as though you specifically for his death and the went on to look for his marriage. Presumably it's more efficient to do it that way than to search for B, M and D together...

Re the FreeBMD thing ... people on the same page are always listed in alphabetical surname order, so you need to look at a census to decide who married whom.

Kieth,

These are most of my on line links for lincolnshire, in case you don't have them all....

Thanks again, John and Geoff. The help is much appreciated, and I feel I'm starting to get the hang of the basics at least.

Ancestry seems to be a pretty good resource for research, but pretty useless for printing and viewing. I'm looking into stand-alone third-party programs. I saw a recommendation for Family Historian, but as Ancestry doesn't provide the ability to export a gedcom file I would have to manually copy everything across. I'm now looking at Family Tree Maker which Ancestry seem to plug. It seems that FTM integrates with Ancestry insofar as you can perform online searches, but I haven't yet checked if I can download what I have so far on Ancestry directly into FTM.

Sorry to pick this up only recently, but my wife has links to Tobias and other Annisons, from Hull and Norfolk. How far back have you managed to get?

Hi Roger

keithleng has not been on RootsChat since October 2006.  He might not see your message, but fingers crossed anyway!  Perhaps you could send him a PM (click on the green scroll under his name).  That might work

[Roger The Hat]

Thanks for that, Geoffe, I'll try it now.
