Hi Selena, many thanks for your heip......now that is strange to have one child 12 m and another 7 m....how did they manage that with them being brother and sister?

Angela

Angela Report 5 Mar 2008 18:04

Thankyou very much Nicola.....this family has me baffled now...wondering why Bertha is living with the Hall's on the next two census's and the age gap only being 5 months between George French and Bertha

Thankyou Nicola...that's great i was just wondering about George's birth, they must have just put 12 month's meaning 1 year abouts.
I have Bertha married to George Enoch Sharp around 1904/5 as there first son George was born 1905

Angela Report 5 Mar 2008 18:14

Thankyou for this birth of George...brilliant!!

Angela Report 5 Mar 2008 18:51

This looks like a certainty with a Walter j Judge being a step son on the 1881 census...this gets better!! looks like she had him without being married as i was wondering if she was married before...but looks like she wasn't!
sad it was a short marriage to John French with her death in 1882

Angela

Angela Report 5 Mar 2008 20:31

Thanks Nicola, great!
I wonder if his mother was married before now as she would have been in her mid 20's when she had him....does it say he was illegitimate?
