Following back Matilda she is Married to George Pitt/s and they have a Daug AMELIA E born c 1869, Ipswich. Matilda is nee SMYTH as her Mother Matilda Smyth is with them in 1881.

Now as too the 2 Grandchildren in 1901 Nellie seems to have been Christened Ellen Louis Drew in Bengal to a EDWARD/MILLICENT.
So could have he remarried and then died ??.

Lots more investigation needed but have posted all of this in case it adds up later!

Hi Trish,
What do I say. You have almost got their whole history here.
I'm just trying to take it all in.

I think that Amelia must have died for Edward to have married agin as you say to die soon after.
I looked but could'nt find a death for her but now possibly it was in India.

What were you looking at to find where Victoria was in 1911 - was it the census?

A big thank you for your help. Perhaps there's more!!

Hi Louisa Maud,

Very grateful for your help.

Now to try for a 1891 census lookup for Edward Drew & Amelia assuming they
are still in England and not already in India.

Evenin' all,

Not sure if this is related, but I own a mill in Sweffling, nr. Saxmundham, Suffolk.  After the mill ceased and the buck was pulled down, the round-house was given to Matilda Smith (house-keeper of the miller's house), she was married to a Lapsey Smith.  And they lived in the round-house with their 8 children.  When she died her relatives in Sweffling sold the mill to my parents via open auction.

If anyone is interested I have some photos of Matlida & Lapsey that I can forward.

Cheers,
Windy Miller
