Census of Fanny Sarah BLISS

[louisa maud]

There are attestation papers on Ancestry for George , very badly damaged, but reading between the lines you can get the gist of what is going on

Have you an exact date of birth for Margaret?

There doesn't seem to be a marriage in her married name of Davey/Davy, she might well have married again in her maiden name of Bliss I suppose

I wonder if you have tried to trace her through the marriages of her numerous children, was she a witness to any of them ?

She doesn't seem to register a child under the name of Fanny, Frances is the nearest, it did occur to me that if Fanny had died she might name a child after her, still no sign of Fanny

Do you know what 'her Georges' surname was?
Rosie

Rosie I read that to mean it was her son 

Thanks Carol, it was a bit early for me

Margaret's birth was in late Dec 1869 or the first 3 months of 1870.

Births Mar 1870   
 
BLISS  Margaret     Richmond, S.  2a 332

Maybe she didn't actually marry again,but just lived with someone?

[louisa maud]

Couldn't find a baptism for her which might have given an actual birth date
There is provision on line that if you know the birth it might tie up with a death, there are over 20 thousand Margaret recorded deaths with a birth of 1869/1870, absolutely impossible

I would have thought someone in the family might have recalled cousins who might have known Margaret, she had numerous children before she was widowed without some she could have had after if she lived or married someone else

Some people just won't be found as I have discovered myself

On Georges attestation papers, Margaret , Robert and Herbert, next of kin, , were shown as living at 17 Ashleigh Road Richmond, brother Ernest's address was given as 15 Ariel Road Hampshire, Ernest was born about 1888. The information seems to be about 1913

Yes you would have thought so but all we can get is that she died in Leeds in 1851 but noone seems to know her married name if any but if not should have been Davy. I am at work at
Mo and don't have details with me but we have Margaret's actual date of birth at home

[BOYTEN]

Margaret's birth date is 30 th dec 1869 anita

That sounds a good one I can't think why we dismissed that it's actually an area they were st one point
