Help finding my Fanny in Dorset, please?
« on: Friday 26 February 10 20:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

My Great Grandmother Fanny Ansley was born in Bridport, in 1866, to John Ansley (carpenter) and Anne.

I think I've found Fanny and Anne (widow) in the 1881 census (living with sister Ellen and her husband in Norwich), but I've been unable to locate any of the family in any previous census.

Fanny's birth certificate describes Anne as "late Connor, formerly King", but the only likely FreeBMD marriage match shows an Anne Northmore (?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.


'Hat.

Hi, Trish

I've got Ellen Susan Ansley and Hermann Kronheimer, q2 1872 (FreeBMD),
but I haven't ordered their certificate (yet!).

Thanks for looking, Trish.

Hi, Teaurn,

There was a reason why this John wasn't the right one - but I can't remember what it was!    :-[ :-[ :-[

I think Pels worked it out; I shall have to search my handwrittens to see if I can find it.

Whatever the outcome, I appreciate your looking for me. Thanks.


'Hat.


Added: I'm waiting delivery on that one!

Now that warrants some serious investigation, Tea.

Fanny's father is "deceased" on her '81 marriage certificate, so that ties in.

I shall check this one out in the library tomorrow.

Thanks very much.

Roger.
