Find Ancestors

Not sure if it is possible but will try the address on ancestry. Regards Linda :)

Update: on the 1911 census we have an 18 and 22 air st regent st but no 20???!!!

Hi Linda,
Thanks so much for helping-it's so very kind. Annie Elizabeth Vowles was employed by Mrs Griffiths of 41, Great Russell Street, Russell Square London in about 1901. I've no idea where she is in 1901 census. She met Reigo Delmattie who was supposedly living at 20, Air Street, Regent Street. They visited a music hall in the Tottenham Court Road and a few months later became engaged and after she found out she was pregnant he disappeared. A court summons was issued but could not be served. She gave birth 2nd November, 1903, and the baby was put into the Thomas Conram hospital December 1903. She was renamed Clara Vallance by the home. Her mother made repeated petitions to restore her to her care , but all were refused, even when in1913 she married a Mr. Hunt. I think I have found her marriage certificate and she is calling herself Elizabeth Vowles at this time. Her husband fully supported her efforts. They did not have any children of their own and I think she died in the 1920s. It is perhaps possible Annie misspelt Reigo's name or maybe he was an illegal immigrant? Thanks again for your help.
Kind regards, Carina

Probably completely unrelated but there is no reigo/delmattie coming up on the 1901 census.

Hi, I'm trying to find any information on my grandmother's father Reigo Delmattie. He is not named on my gran's birth certificate, but given as the father when her mother Annie E Vowles of Priston Somerset placed her into thomas conram hospital for foundlings in 1903. He was supposedly living and working as a waiter in London at the time but disappeared before the baby was born. He was Italian, but I can find no trace of him anywhere. Can anyone give me some advise or hints on why he may not be on the 1901 census for example? Or perhaps I am following a dead lead as maybe my great gran invented the name?! any help would be much appreciated
