Joseph Miles & Mary Ann Saunders (Stroud/Chedworth)

[Mabel Bagshawe]

Is Lilly definitely Joseph's daughter. You say he died 1895. Lilian Kate Miles, mother's maiden name Saunders, is born in Stroud in 1898

In 1911 she's in an industrial school in Coventry - she may be difficult to follow after that


There are two older children with Mary in 1901 - what became of them

Good point on Lilly. There was a train of thought earlier in my research that she was a step-sister of Albert Walter Miles. Looking at the dates she can’t be Joseph Miles’ daughter as he died a few years before her birth. What throws a little confusion into the mix was that my grandfather Albert Walter Miles ( her prospective step brother) had put her down as next of kin in his 1914 army sign up papers. His parents Joseph and Mary Ann Miles (nee Saunders)we’re deceased at that point. I have a copy of this form and it was written next of kin as
Miss Lillie Miles, Moorgreen, Brookfield by Johnstone Scotland ( she was listed as a Miles ?)
Think I will need to doublecheck my facts with Lilly
Thanks for getting back.

This looks interesting -  haven't got Scotland's people credits to get more detail

Mabel,

I could kiss you. You solved the Lily issue. That was her informal name. Checked Lilian Kate and came up with loads of stuff. Thank you so much. This family member has been keeping my research going for some time
