Thanks John P,tazzie and cazay

Thanks to all of you who have responded to this posting, especially JohnP for telling me the correct parentage.  I obtained it from a distant relative who had been researching for many years.  I did not check.  I have learnt my lesson.  Could someone check the census in 1891 and 1901 for details of John William Giddings and family?  I am trying to trace present families living in England.

Thanks again

Thanks tazzie

How would you go about trying to find living descendents of people in England on the 1891 or 1901 census?  What I am trying to say is how do you find descendents of George Giddings born 1880, supposing he married and had a family?   Any ideas?

Cheers

Grant

   Hi Grant....

  So it was only Mary Ann and her family that left for Oz.

  It would be a case of going through the index to look for their names.

  There is in 1909 a marriage of Beatrice Elizabeth Giddings (if yours she would be 18/19) in Bedford.

  In 1905 there are 2 possibles for Nellie Giddings in Bedford.
 The boys throw up lots more options and that is only Bedfordshire.

  The index used to be free to view on Ancestry site but looking at details them seem to have changed what is freely available.

There are two contacts (Reginald & Richard) on Genes Reunited have members of this Giddings family of Bedford in their trees.  Are you a member ?

[Grant H]

Hi JohnP

Thanks for the information on the contacts.  No I am not a member of this site.  What is the web address?
