Find Ancestors

sorry just had to go out i have the death of george william as 1938 in melksham hospital, gladys is my mums sister born july 1932 she is under the name of hancock as my gran ivy (dont know if she married my grandad) who was berty wines of carlingcott, it was my mum and some of her sisters that were born there.

This Gladys cant be your mums sister,I wondered if she was Elizas.

ROBERTS, Gladys Grand Daughter F 0 (5 MOS) 1901
Chalford
Wiltshire


And if you have George William Hancock dying in 1938 then he cant have been legally married to Eliza I would have thoght ,as he was still alive when she married in Mr Smith in 1912,
Divorce was possible back then,but very expensive and hard to get and especially for the working class on the whole.

i am a bit flumoxed here with the amunt you 2 are throwing at me firstly i thought ivy was born 9 months after mabel and now she is 6 months older or have i misread this if my gran was born oct 1903 and mabel born j/f/m quarter of 1904 and then in 1911 she was 5 and born in 1906 or am i just going nuts, i will have a go at sorting things out. and thank you both again for your help at least i now know my grand fathers names and my greatgrandfathers names i am well pleased. this afternoon i didnt have any apart from mr hancock and eliza roberts
thank you very much appreciated

Ages vary greatly on Census as a rule ,but your Eliza seems to have stayed contant on her year of birth and place,which makes life easier for searching for her.

I am not sure if the birth I posted for Mabel is correct,did she have the other name of Frances?I can check again for her if not.

It has been a pleasure to help someone who stayed around to answer questions for once,so often people post a request and then dont return to answer.
And as you see we move pretty quick here at Genes in trying to find info for people when asked.
Thank you David,I have enjoyed it.

If you need more help on this lot at all no matter how long it is please return here and add a mesage as most of the info to work with is now done.

have just been informed by my mum that gladys is elizas oldest apparently born before marriage

Thats your excuse and your sticking to it ,is it Flo??

I dont blame you,I shall use it next year I think.

David....
You just put the icing on my cake,I really thought she was..
Thank you for telling me,its a right pain being left wondering sometimes.

Except I think most of them were born before marriage as we cant find a Hancock/Roberts marriage !!

My Nan was, and her 4 sisters and a brother.
Their parents were married,but not to each other !
