Hey,
I'm back again with another ancestor this time that has been annoying me a little bit.
My great-great grandmother, Annie Elizabeth Anderson (born Lombardini).
There is a Civil Registration for her birth, and I would love to obtain the original certificate and I'm willing to fork out money for it, but I don't know where to go to find it. I've made various searches on BMD databases for a Lombardini/Lumberding but cannot find anything.
Annie was born in Huddersfield, 1867 to then single (we believe) Fanny Piercy Lombardini. A year later, Fanny married a man by the name of Ephraim Jackson.
In all censuses until her marriage, Annie is noted as Annie Lombardini or Lumberding etc.
In her first marriage in 1892, Elizabeth Lumberding (my Annie) marries a Harrison Illingworth. Points to note is that she uses her mother's maiden name and does not mention a father. This is the same in her second marriage to Frederick Anderson in 1898.
For some reason, there is a reference to a 'George Cuttle' passed down through our family as the father of Annie Elizabeth.
I have no doubts that Annie is illegitimate, I would just love a lead that could help me possibly find this mysterious father. It's a difficult task and I've looked and looked, but perhaps a new pair of eyes may aid my quest.
Even if I just find a record of her birth certificate, would be awesome.
Thank you for reading, Rootschat family.
Seasons greetings!
EBrand.
