Birth:

Name: Amy Zillah Brown
Year of Registration: 1886
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep

She's not on census using middle name Zillah so there's a LOT of Amy Browns which could be her. If you use the above birth details you could order her birth certificate to find out parents.

This COULD be her in 1901:

Hi Sarah

Thank you for that, it will give me something to work with and move forward i hope.
I just wonder why she ends up in Epsom when no other family members lived out that way (weird)

Samantha

Thank you Jean

Sue C
I see that the mother's name was Zillah which would explain the middle name.
Thank You

Samantha

This is the same family in 1891, looking at the image the wife's name could be Zillah, rather than Lillah (could have been a nickname for Priscilla). The middle initial in Amy's name looks like the same letter as her mother's name starts with, so she could be Amy Z. Brown, giving you as match.

I should add that places of bith match totally with those families in 1891 and 1901, despite the difference in wife's name so they're definitely the same family.

So we know that its the same family so i dont have to get myself confused on this one (thank godness).

And i know that she married my great grandfather in 1903 in Brentford, never found any children for them and that she died in Epsom 1918 with no family around (something not right there)

Did she marry Leonard Hatcher?

Hello Claire

Yes she did

Samantha

Hi Samantha, this is very odd, I can find her on the 1911 living in the East Preston area of Sussex but I can't find him

Mmmm i wonder if he stayed in the Middlesex area as i know he was living in Wraysbury in the 1920s.

Something really not adding up here.

It might be worth looking a Amy's death cert to see who the informant was or the 1911 to see who she was living with.

I take it that Leonard had children with another woman but I can't see a second marriage so perhaps he & Amy parted

I will have to find info for the death cert and order it to find out who the infomant was and how/what she died of.

Leonard went on to have 8 children
Lilian 1917 - 1934
Lionel 1919 - 2001
Leonard 1922 - 2001
Leslie 1925 - 1988
Lawrance 1928 - 1942
Lewis 1928 - 1942
Lydia 1930 -
Jeff 1934 - 1995

All of these were with Alice Hammond, however he did not marry her until 1943

Samantha

Samantha I don't think the Amy Hatcher who died 1918 Epsom is your's, she's tooooo old!

I suspect that Amy Zillah was very much alive & kicking when Leonard's children were born

Oh lord, looks like i got my wires crossed.
Oh well more research and looking up to do.
So i wonder what happened to her and when she died?

I cant even find her on the 1911 census, under Hatcher or Brown.
Why?

Ok have now managed to find her at long last on the 1911 census, showing that the marriage lasted 7 years aged 24 and no children which means she would have died later than 1918 at the age that she was in 1911.
Gosh how did i get so confused with the 1918 one?????
