Hello Mick,

Thanks so much for the time you've spent already. I don't want to put you to any trouble ?

I think Alice is part of the 'Gardner' Butchery family of Guernsey. Alices father and grandfather were butchers I believe. I have contacted someone who has a website relating to this family and I'm waiting on confirmation. It's quite exciting really. I may be barking up the wrong tree but you have to follow every avenue don't you ?

good luck if it is not to much trouble let us know what happens

[Tillyboo]

Will do, thanks so much !

Hi Tillyboo, I have an Alice Gardner, but born in 1864, her father was Anthony Vincent (my g-g-grandfather)

 She is on 1871 census  RG10/5768.  The butchers site mentioned is  http://www.history.foote-family.com/butchers/b-gardner.htm

I'm not sure if it relevant to you, but let me know if it is please,

Graeme Cox

Hi Graeme,

Yes, it is relevant to me. Thanks so much for getting in touch.

My Alice is the daughter of John Gardner who I believe was the older brother of your Anthony. Johns wife was Caroline. It appears they both named their daughters 'Alice'.

My Alice married Henry James Tilbury and it is their daughter, Elsie May, who is my Gt Grandmother. They lived in Hampshire, were in service when they met, so I'm assuming Alice left Guernsey looking for work ?
Elsie married Edward Ward, a Royal Marine, and it is he who has become extremely difficult to find any further info on.

Do you have any other info related to the Gardners ?

Many thanks

Yes, Anthony had an older  brother John, but I haven't checked his children or marriage.  Do you have dates for these?

I have a few Gardner details and some Gardner cousins are still living here, my late mother was a Gardner and her last sibling, Noel,  only died earlier this year.

You can visit my tree on Genes Reunited and see if this is yours too, if it is and you have queries, I can look up at the Priaulx Library, Guernsey, but not for a couple of weeks 



Best wishes
Graeme
