Find Ancestors

Because I wanted to go back further than the birth certificates I have


I dont have Roberts birth cert nor do I have his marriage, or death cert

and I dont have his fathers birth cert either who also was called Robert, Who with the looks of it is the Robert you two found

If you have Alfred's birth certificate that should have the maiden name of Mary on it???

Ok I think I got myself confused on this now and I have probably confused you both too, i'll go work out the details I have so far and get back to you

Ok so this is how far I have gotten so far

Sheridan Fenn = me
My Father Brian Fenn 1941
His Parents Thomas Fenn (1912) Edna Burrows
Thomas's Parents Alfred Fenn (1883) and Edith Freeman (1890)
Alfred's Parents Robert Fenn (1861) Mary Hopkins (1857)
Roberts Parents Robert Fenn (1836) Hannah (1836)

So my next quest would be to go back further than This Robert and Hannah.

I was thinking about all the posts I have read and where it looks like their son Robert was adopted by thier neighbours.

Maybe Robert and Hannah Died while their son Robert was young This would explain why he was the sole occupier when he was only 5yrs old maybe

Im gonna go look now see if I can find anything in the death records

Cool

Now I found but cant remember where a Hannah Stephens living as a lodger at the age of 64 i think it was.

So maybe only he died and she couldnt cope give the baby away and moved? not sure but thanks for the info will keep it on board
