On the advice of ruskie i am starting this thread to see if the brilliant minds on this forum can help me find my Grandmothers birth certificate.
My Grandmother Annie Tracey formerly Lindsell is an enigma to me, I know when she married my Grandfather and when she died- but I do not know when she was born or who her mother was. Thanks to the secretary at Brentwood Cathedral I now know when she was buried and also that she was definitely a Catholic which might narrow the search down a bit.
She seems to have been born circa 1884 but this is just conjecture taken from her age at marriage to my Grandfather on 3 April 1906 at the Lexden register office, Essex. She was 22 years old.
Her Father is given as William Lindsell who from memory was an agricultural labourer.
She died on 13 January 1931 in Billericay Essex and was buried in Brook Street, Cemetery ( now London Road Cemetery) on 17 January 1931.
I found what I believe to be her on the 1901 census but she is listed as a servant and not at home.
RG number:
RG13 1663 48 22
LINDSELL, Annie Servant Single F 15 1886 General Servant (Domestic)
Essex Grays.
In 1911 she is married to my Grandfather and living in Cottage place, Brentwood, Essex and strangelythe woman who was to become my Grandfathers second wife is also there

TRACEY, Alfred George Head Married M 31 1880 Billporter Stanway Nr Colchester
TRACEY, Annie Wife Married 5 years F 28 1883 Tunden
SACH, Annie Visitor Single F 30 1881 Servant Hutton
The only trouble is where she was born, it has been transcribed as Tunden but it does not look like this on the census sheet, I tried to attach a copy of it but it was to large for rootschat.
Can anyone help me find her birth certificate please?
