Alice Gardner - Guernsey

[Tillyboo]

Hi,

I am researching my Great Great Grandmother, Alice Gardner and wondered if anyone has any information on the Gardner family from Guernsey. Were the Gardners a long standing family ? Could someone please point in the direction of where I would find any further information.

Alice was born abt 1860 and married Henry Tilbury, they lived in Gosport, Hampshire.

I do not know any other information at all I'm afraid but would like to find out more about her family.

Many, many thanks

Hi Sue,

I managed to gleam the same information but hit a brick wall with Henry in 1901, it seems he didn't live with the family but may have been a watchman at Fort Blockhouse in Gosport.

The search continues ....

Thank you for taking the time to research for me, it is very much appreciated.

Hi Wozzle,

Certainly likely as the year and ages fit in nicely, thanks so much for this, it's great.

I've found last night that the name Gardner was the name of the 'Gardners Butchers' from Guernsey so I'll investigate further as Alice's father was a head butcher.

Can you tell me where you found this info as I can't find it in the 1861 census records on ancestry.co.uk

Many, many thanks

Laurie
