Need help trying to find missing relative
« on: Sunday 29 December 13 15:43 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone

I have very little about this person and hope someone might be able to help further.

The person I am looking for is a Pheobe   - born 1864 Bridgport Dorset
There is a birth registry for a female * Small  *1864 Bridgport Dorset,  I have not yet purchased  certificate ( I was hoping to avoid the cost as I am sure of surname and parents)

 I have found her later in 1881 South Petherton Somerset 11 Banburys Row with her mother Jane * using surname * Jeffrey born 1828 Weymouth Dorset.

Janey was born a Wells partnered Thomas Jeffrey had 4 children with him, Thomas went to America with new partner, I know all about him and his family in America.

Janey married John Small in Channel Islands about 1859,  she had 1 daughter with John, who I know all about,  Pheobe would be also John's.

Why Janey in 1881 is calling herself  & Pheobe Jeffrey I cannot explain, I do know John Small died in Plymouth of Cholera about 1880 and Janey went to live in Somerset lists as widow/ licensed hawker, only a few doors away from her parents Benjamin Wells b 1810 Hampshire / Anne b 1811 Whitchurch Dorset & Son Thomas Wells b 1851 Curry Rivel Somerset

The problem I have I know all about Janey,but after 1881 Census I cannot find Pheobe ?
Can anyone help please ......

Have you looked for a marriage under the various spellings of her christian name?

Phoebe
Phebe
plus the one you are using Pheobe

Coupled with surnames Small/Jeffrey

Have you already discounted the 1890 marriage under Phoebe Small which is on freebmd

The Phoebe who marries in Walsall in 1890 appears to be a Staffordshire girl, so not ours

Hi'
Not sure if it may help and you may have already seen a copy of the book "Gypsies in Britain" by Brian Vesey-Fitzgerald published in 1930 with reference to the Jeffery Family.
