Tracey Report 22 May 2008 10:03

I am trying to find my G Grandparents and their parentage.

The details known are:

MYLCHREEST

My grandmothers name was
GLADYS VIOLET MYLCHREEST (b. 1910)who married ARTHUR YOUNG (b. 1907), I have all the details of that marriage.

Gladys' siblings were Annie Elizabeth May Mylchreest and Vincent John Mylchreest.

Vincent John married Elsie who was a cousin, they had one child called Susan.

Gladys' parents were called Walter Mylchreest, and Susannah Jones. Walter married twice, the second marriage was to a Nanc or Nancy.

I have the death index of Susannah Mylchreest at aged just 49, in Coventry in 1931 (6d 964).

I also have the marriage of Walter and Susannah in Swindon June qtr 1904 (5a 53)

Walters or Sarah/Susannah's relatives moved to South Africa.

Walter may have been born in the Isle of Man or Somerset.

Susannah Jones was Welsh!

There is also Liverpool somewhere in the family too.

Any information on my G Grandparents would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Walter may have been born in I.O.M or Somerset. There were arguements in the family as to which. Does that help?

Julie

I can't at the mo see a birth for the one on the 1901, nor can i see him on the 1891

Tracey

Tracey Report 22 May 2008 10:16

Would that make Walters mothers maiden name a Renshall?
