Hi Jonathan

This is my dilemma.  I suppose I could send off for the cert, but I have nothing at all that verifies her as a possible beyond a pretty common name.  I'm not even sure that one didn't die before 1881 - I have checked as far as I can, but its such a common name.  When I frist found the Knaresboro one I thought I was on to something, but she ended up marrying in Knaresboro so no go :'( ::)

I have no more ideas and was hoping someone else might be able to prove I am just not clever enough to find her ;)

I'm stumped too.  Any chance they emigrated then came back again?  I had a branch of my family do that.

R u Collett ?  Only there is someone on GeneReunited with the Verrier names you are looking at.

Hi Kieran

Yep thats me - you are a detective. ;D

I think the chance that they emigrated at all is about as slim as could be, let alone came back again.  From what I can gather they never moved far from Risinghill St until they were either dead or bombed out in 1940.  I have all children except one, born up to 1910, baptised at St Silas Church.  Mind u Jane BRYANT appears to have been invisible as a BRYANT so not so odd she doesn't turn up as a VERRIER is there!

Thanks for looking - I really don't know what to do now.  I think I'll go and console myself with a glass of wine or two

 :D

Frederick George Verrier and Annie Maud Wood are my maternal grandfather’s parents. He was born in 1921 - so we must be related?!
