Hibbets & Daisleys from Gamlingay area

Expect it was just an oversight (I am getting muddled too now) but  James should be father of Walter not William.

I think I have just found William in 1911.

Is william on his own ?

Thanks

Hi - thank you for that 

another favour - could you do a search for an Annie Beard (not sure of exact spelling and is apparently died as a spinster) for any record type in gamlingay. There is a family story that Olives god mother raised her (Olive = Rhoda dau)  but have never managed to find anything to support the story.... But thinking as all of williams and rhoda dau's have no fathers name, they may have been raised by another !! it's worth a try , nothing would surprise with this leg of the family at the moment...

cheers

Afraid I can't see anything for her.  Have you found her in any census etc?

Just going to send you a few more details via pm, then closing for tonight.

Yes this family did seem to go out of their way to make things difficult for you!
Still its coming together.

'nite,

Selina

u were right to advise checking the 1871 for the William Dazeley born 1870ish, before ordering the cert. He does appear with parents Alexander and Sarah. So it turns out that I already have that cert and had ruled it out as the parents did not match.

So after much more hunting its feels like the other cert I have where the birth is one day out from ur bap and his first name is frederick, feels like the one. I'll pm it over.

Have u ever heard of first names being not used in later life ?

regards

Hi Robin,

Yes Frederick William seems the best contender so far as can been seen.

Strange bit is that his parents had dropped the 'Frederick' by the 1871 census and it doesn't appear again.

Yes I have several instances of first names not being used on my trees.  Off hand and without looking for them, I can think of 4.  My sister in law, my uncle in law, my mother's cousin (those 3 all used their second names) plus my grandfather's brother who was registered with just one forename, possibly baptised with a second and then also added another of his own choice.  He dropped his first name and swopped the second and chosen one around at times!

Have you ever found out what happened to Rhoda's sister Lily?  Looks like she is Lilla Ibbott (aged 3)  in 1881 with her grandmother Mary Hawkins and Lillie Ibbott (aged 13) in 1891 just described as 'relative' with William and Eliza Ibbott.

Added:  Birth reg.  Lilly Hibbett, June quarter 1877 Caxton district.  Baptised same day as Rhoda (14 August 1881) name Lily Hibbert, birth date given as 2 May 1877.

hi
Sounds like you have had just as much fun with your tree.....

I didn't Rhoda had a sister ! but makes sense as she named one her daughter Lillian, nick name Lily in the census. But the hawkins ties in, Rhoda mother was Sarah hawkins, and Sarah Mother was Mary Hawkins NEE Lovell.

Thomas Hibbet, husband of Sarah Hawkins, did have a brother William Hibbett/Ibbot, lily may have lived with for a while.

I'll add Lily to my tree, thanks for that. I'll have to have a look for a marriage and death.

thanks again
robin

Good luck with the Lily search. 

The Ibbott/Hibbett is an added problem!
