I read her name as Afrey on the 1901 census.
This looks like marriage but rather late for birth of Lily.

You're kidding, Kelly?
You're insisting his name is Charls and not Charles?
And she's Alvey not Afrey.
She's definitely Afrey and he's Charles on the 1901 census if you look at the original.
You're basing your information on a mistranscription.

sorry no i am not kidding

i looked on Ancestry under my spelling and its comes up 1st
its 1901 census, and yes my cousin was his gt gr daughter, so i know the spelling is right
in later years they may have mise spelt it but it is there

kelly

Look at the original not the mistranscription!

i am sorry i dont understand what you mean,

i can only tell you what i have seen and been told

he was CHARLS H SEWELL

she was ALVEY
and yes this must be them as lily was marion sewell
I am very sorry if i am wrong and am waisting your time, it just seems every time i ask for help i do something wrong,

kelly

Hi Kelly...the only thing you are doing wrong is believing what a transcriber ( a person who copied the records by hand) has incorrectly recorded...so it WILL come up on Ancestry incorrectly spelt...does that make sense to you ? Ancestry even have a facility for any members to note an alternative if they know something to be obviously wrong...Believe me I have found more than a few! So what the other members are saying is - Don't trust completely everything you may find recorded ..double check.
(I do believe you will find it is Charles as the other members have said)
Hope this helps and good luck Pat.

please i can only appologise my spelling is dredfull, but now i know i can check to see if something is right,
bit like hens teeth remember
but thank you for your kind help, but it is nice to be told how to do these things, for people who already know i must seem really thick, sorry

regards

kelly

I think Afrey told a wee fib about her age on the census

Conn Afrey Allard Clerkenwell 1b 565

hi thanks so much for that, i wonder how many have told a few fibs

i have said sorry to margaret by pm so i hope she is ok with that

i would hate to upset anyone

thanks again

kelly

Kelly, you're not thick and don't put yourself down. It's a common mistake. It's just that with genealogy you have to learn not to discount something because it's not spelled the same. Remember back then most people couldn't read or write and they didn't know if their name was mis-spelled.

Just noticed your previous message. You cetainly didn't upset me, Kelly.
Good luck with your research!

ok thank you

kelly

yes sounds like fun for us but a nightmare for the future people ha

thanks and i did what you advised and guess what all of you were right, in my next life i hope i have a bit more brain than i have now,

kelly

Kelly, stop putting yourself down! You're special, we're all special. Bet you can do things that we could only dream about doing!
