Welcome to KerryB's Second Chance Scavenger Hunt. This is a very interesting one and I'm sure you'll get your teeth into it well and truly. It appears a little complicated at first, but I know you'll work it all out and find heaps of information.
So here it is.
Good Luck and Good Hunting

Hi Guys
I’ve got a nice easy one here, haha! It’s not Traies and its not Baldwins.
My gran’s letters written in the 1930s to grandad (whilst courting) mention some relatives that I would love to fit into the tree. I think because of the names they are her maternal relatives, seem to fit the pattern of names but it would be interesting to see if we can fill in the details for 2 generations of the Payne family with missing census returns and spouses, children etc.
The relatives that are mentioned are Uncle Maurice, Auntie Maggie, Auntie Jennie, Cousin Alice, Cousin Winnie and an Olive. There is also an Uncle Arthur. The letters are written from Warwick and Uncle Maurice worked at the Morris Car works in Coventry.
Gran’s mother was Emily Payne born 1883 in Lingfield, Surrey and died 1950 in Lingfield.
Her siblings were:
Henry Payne born 1867, Lingfield, married Alice Steer in 1891, East Grinstead and was a bricklayer, 1871 Lingfield, with parents, 1881 Lingfield with parents
Alice Payne born 1869, Lingfield, 1871 Lingfield with parents, 1881 Lingfield with parents
Martha Payne born 1871, I was told she might have died 1893? 1871 Lingfield with parents, 1881, Lingfield with parents, 1891 Lingfield as housemaid, domestic
Spencer Payne born 1874, also Bricklayer and married Amy Jane Nash in 1896, Brighton, Sussex, 1881 Lingfield with parents, 1891 Lingfield was bricklayer labourer
Clara Payne born 1876, Lingfield, 1881 Lingfield with parents
John Payne born 1878, Lingfield, married Florence Agnes Nash in 1899, Godstone, Surrey, 1881 Lingfield with parents, 1891 Lingfield with parents
Jane Payne born 1881, Lingfield, 1881 Lingfield with parents, 1891 Lingfield with parents
Emily (great grandmother) for which I have details
Alfred Payne born 1887 Grocer and Baker, 1891 Lingfield with parents, 1901 Lingfield with parents
Maurice Payne born 1890, Lingfield, did he move to Coventry area?, 1891 Lingfield with parents, 1901 Lingfield with parents
Frank Payne born 1894, Lingfield, 1901 Lingfield with parents
Parents were John 1844 to 1925 and Jane Payne, 1847 to 1930 both in Lingfield.
So did any of this lot move away to Warwick and can we fill in some of the missing details for them? I have not actually confirmed any of their dates of birth, all come from census returns. Some of the other details might be a bit difficult because we don’t access
to 1911 yet but I am sure that some information can be found.
When you get bored of that generation the previous generation were:
Elizabeth Payne born 1836 in Lingfield, appears on 1841 census in Lingfield
George Payne born 1838 in Lingfield, appears on 1841, Lingfield, 1851, Lingfield, 1861 Lingfield, 1871, Lingfield, Ag Lab.
Sarah Payne born 1841 in Lingfield, appears on 1851, Lingfield
Emma Payne born 1849 in Lingfield, appears on 1851, Lingfield and 1861, Lingfield
John Payne born 1884 as above and I have details for him.
Parents were:
John Payne born 1807, Lingfield, died 1890 and Sarah Kesterton 1810 to 1877, Lingfield.
Hope I’m not being cheeky but I never seem to get time to investigate siblings enough!!
Thank you.
Kerry
