Find Ancestors

just adding my husbands grt dad!

sad to lose a relative - worse to lose a friend!
I love where we live in france - will be sad to sell up - but family here beckons!
weird stuff this family thing!

enjoy while we have it!

Find My Past =FMP I remember the Pitt one..

My x has a place in France with the witch,hes off there tommorow for 2 wks.
Goes about every 6 wks,I think he will retire there in a couple of yrs or so,I will REALLY miss him if he does!
But she dont know I know and if she did she,d have a hissy fit,stooopid woman.

Me and him are really good friends,always have been,just couldnt live together but its nice to be friends ,especially with a son between us.

thanks for hint on GRO costs - have a load to get!

another Benjamin! (benjamin Pitt was my mothers Gfather) -you helped me on that one too!

FTM is very good - It can hold loads - very easy to use and comprehensive in holding notes, many different ways of printing out all the info too - thats why I like it - (keeps the pile neat and tidy - or at least, it will!

but I'm keeping it on my computer this time! and trying like mad to reduce the paper in my box!

moving back here from france later this year - sitting here on my bum is my way clearing excess paperwork!!

what is FMP? - BTW ?

Wales Geog I am fine on,its where I am.
Its England that gets me !

Took out a 6 month sub to FMP when 1911 went subs,use it loads.but still have Ancestry as well.
Never tried theFTM thing as all my stuff is on paper in a big file.

BTW ,I think you will have to get Susan and James Edwards marrige cert for Susans dads name as the only one I can find on census for her that "seems"to be her is a Susannah with father Benjamin.

Certs go up from £7 to £9.25p in April at GRO,so I would get it quick time !

penarth is near cardiff - thats where I am looking

freebmd is the site I am using - with the odd £ 6.00 ish on find my past! and under a tenner now & then on ancestry

I had a lot of this stuff back in 2000 when I bought Family Tree Maker from america - I did not know then what the internet was! - and uploaded my tree. changed compter, home and country . - now back in the uk for a while

now, as I start to fill in the the tree on ancestry they 'hint' at a connection! - thats my tree! #878 vol. 84 -
guess FTM and ancestry are one and the same now!

ha ha, moany old woman!

anyway ... this is great - thankyou for your help

Yea,I had to go into it on freebmd to find out where it was when I searched earlier !

I really must improve my Geog...

Image def says Penarth S Wales.

no - west sussex!

steyning? 2b 246 will google it to find out where it is!

just only one there with Emily Annie!

funny that - my new grandaughters name!!

My Granny was illegit as well,but she did know who her dad was as she lived with him and her mum until he died when she was 5 and then the kids were put in a home...

Still took me months to find his first name as all I had was Mr Head died 1913sh in the Eastend of London...

Shows my observation ..not !
I must have an incorrect birth for one of them I think..
Sorry bout that.
Prob the one born in Wales is wrong.
Edwards in Wales are ten a penny !

But I really cant find any other births to suit...

cannot be twins - born in different towns!
nellie and emily both born dec 1907?

nevermind, .. either way - still doesnt give granny a daddy!

many, many thanks for your time (and work!)

Births Dec 1907

EDWARDS Nelly Florence Marlbro' 5a 96

Last child from 1911.

sorry yes! - so exicted I hadnt read it properly!

Thankyou
I saw the inmate, but discarded it when I found a 2 year with charles martin and family on 1901 RG 13/335 born O Ford Bow
(cant help thinking of the old aunts though!)
so, maybe Susan 'Edwards' was her mother?
