Struggling to find in GRO birth indexes
« on: Sunday 09 August 20 17:08 BST (UK) »
OK, so the "official" version of the surname is MEUVLY (or thereabouts)

John Meuvly & Mary Ann Cook should be parent(s) of

Dec 1852
MEIVLY Nancy E London 1c 19 (Cant spot on GRO)

dec 1854
Meubly    Margaret        Stepney    1c   470    
Mewly    Margaret        Stepney    1c   470

Dec 1856
Olive Louisa Meuvly Stepney 1c Page487( MMN Cook)

(Possible gap- no kids appear in census)

Births Sep 1860 
MEVLEY    Annabella Elizabeth        Mile End Old Town    1c   517


Might be a "Hannah" in this gap

Mar 1865   (>99%)
MEUVLY    Martha        Poplar    1c   672   
MEUVLY    Mary        Poplar    1c   672

The father dies in late 1864, couldn't find the 1871 census for the family

Inspired searches anybody? It's not that I don't know that the Mmn should be COOK, I just like to have the extra confirmation.

Thanks, Pauline

Thank you everybody.
That just about wraps it up.
I really should have spotted one or two of those myself, shouldn't i? :(

I'll be back later when I can't find birth entries from when the girls are wed  ;D ;D

Apparently the father was Swiss. (or from Cheshire if you followed Ancestry's transcription :'( :'()
