Kate Evelina Frohock - COMPLETED

I can't speak for Tati, but I'm guessing she used the tried-and-tested method of searching under first name, age and birthplace, leaving out surname altogether.  That way you get around even the most bizarre mistranscription of the surname.

Anna

I shall remember that way of looking for people -it'll come in useful!

BUT - I have another question - same Aunt, but other side of the family - her father's side this time.

I've traced back to her Gt Grandfather John Jordan, married Ann something.  He was born in 1835 - but the 1861 Wales census has him as born in Bristol, Somerset (living in Wales, Risca, Monmouthshire - RG9; Piece: 4025; Folio: 31; Page: 20; ) and the 1871 Wales census has him born in Pontypool RG10; Piece: 5325; Folio: 61; Page: 35.....  Do you think I've gone wrong somewhere (more than likely), or it is the census that is wrong?

 I have found a marriage in Newport in December 1858 to an Ann Sumner (11a 290)- this is just before the eldest child, Edward, was born............... There is another one  : John Jordan and Ann Clelford in Devises - (5a 195) - Ann was born in Devises......

Many thanks from a very grateful - but confused
Tilly
