Hi

Was Rhoda bap as Hibbett or Hibbert ?

Thanks

Hibbert.

But William and Eliza (presumably the Ibbotts above) who baptised a Flora that year are also down as Hibbert as is another family.

Without seeing the original register one wonders if  the handwriting was unclear or just written as it was heard.

1898 Banns it is Rhoda Hibbets!

I see that Lily Hibbett was a witness at Rhoda's marriage in 1898 so she was still alive and unmarried then.

Shopping calls!

I've just spent a couple of hours looking for possible deaths for william Daisley, there were many ....

But the only one which calculates back to an 1870 birth is

William R Daisley
death 1946
age 76
Cambridge
4a 176

Which is interesting as you said the father marked against the bap of Ronald Daisley (Williams Son) was a William Richard Daisley !!!!

will your source give anymore info around the above death?

Thanks

Thanks again for your help and interest. I hadn't thought about searching that far a field ! But it ties in well. Weird finding the location out.... I live 40/50 miles south and travel past Manchester regular, lets hop this leads to another branch of the tree.

Very interesting that both Rhoda and Lily named their daughters Florence, this may indicate some one important to both of them with the same name, maybe their mothers sister.

I see John is not at home in 1911.

Just found the enlistment papers for J H Lewin, he joins 1915 serves for a few years. the papers name Lily, her maiden name, Florence, with marriage date and child birth dates so ties it in very well.

J H Lewin reg number = 69954 royal engineers

Can't find any more children, so Florence possible only child

thanks
