Hello All
I'm new to RootsChat (how did I not know about this forum?) but not new to genealogy. I've been researching my family tree for nearly 12 years. I have, however, hit a massive brick wall. Not only have I hit it, but I've reversed up and kept hitting it, for 12 years.
My 2nd Great-Grandmother, Pollie, is proving to be a reluctant branch of my tree. It's the only branch that's incomplete
I'm not sure what info I should post on here, to see if anyone has any ideas on where to find her.
I have everything available from her marriage in 1883 to her death in 1950.
Prior to this date - nothing. Nada. Zilch.
Main details I'd be very happy to have is her birth, her parents (only have a deceased fathers name) and anything prior to 1883. Birth location has always been Wye, Kent.
Name; Pollie France Kemsley nee Austen 1859 - 1950
Variations on first name used in searching; Polly, Pollie, Molly, Dolly, Dollie, Pol* as a wildcard, Follie in case the P looks like an F, Elizabeth, Mary, and a few more besides.
I’ve used both Austen and Austin, and Aus*, Dusten/Dustin, Ousten/Oustin again in case the letters are illegible.
I can only guess at this point that either she was never registered at birth for some reason or was never called Pollie in the first place.
I have her fathers name, Edward with both variations on surname of Austen and Austin - he's down as deceased - on the marriage details in 1883.
Massive brick wall and my head hurts from hitting it
Sorry for the long first post.
And thanks in advance for any help.
