Alice Hayes/ Henry James Street- Heeelppp!
« on: Sunday 20 February 05 10:45 GMT (UK) »
Hi, Am in desperate need of help! I am trying to track down my great grandmother's side of family and as usual is proving tricky!! My grandmother's name was Ellen (known as Nellie) Lois Louisa Street I have found her birth in 1897 in Aston.[Incidently, My mother however said that she claimed she was born in Ireland to a wealthy man & that her mother had remarried a man who had lost all her money- hmmmm! ]. Her father is down on her marriage certificate as James Street (he was supposedly irish) and a canter. However the only Ellen street I can find in 1901 is this one: who's father was Henry J Street & was a bus conductor from Leamington!!!
Personally I suspect that this is the one and that my great grandmother was a big fat liar! So I am trying to track the family back. Unfortunately, the fact that Nellie's mother remarried seems to be true so I cannot track down her marriage to Henry James as I don't know if her name would have been Hayes (her first married name? ) or something else.

Anyway, waffle, waffle, any help would be greatly appreciated in trying to unravel this- have included the detail from the 1901 census.... Nicolette :P

Henry Jos Street    37
Alice Street    32
Henry Street    9
Ellen Louisa Street    3
David Jas Street    1
Elsie Cordelia Street    14 days

Lilian Hayes    14  (1887, Apr-May-Jun. Stourbridge/6c/ P 128 )
Geo Henry Albert Hayes    13 (couldn't see in freebmd)
Florence Emma Hayes     9  (1892, Jan-Feb-Mar. Stourbridge/6c/ P170 )

The Hayes kids b Lye, Worcs gave a registration district of Stourbridge.

Based on this, I'd start searching marriages starting 1893 and ending up to 1897. Howeveer. I'm not convinced about this being the correct family. The claim that Ellen was b Ireland would mean she would not appear in the UK census for 1901. Henry appears to be Joseph rather than James? .
Did Nellie use her full name on Marriage as matching this 1897 birth?
