You never know, it could be possible!

This is a very long shot, but as I've found it, will put it - location elimnates it I think:

Sorry Fick and Jan, Ada gave her age as 18. This was one of the posts which vanished...

Hi Jan, Thomas was a joiner.

You're welcome!

Hope it's the correct one, area and age match up

:-)

Wow thanks Liverbird, I've been trying to find that info for months!!!

Hi Jan, There were two Ada Conways. One was born 1866/7, the Daughter of John and Eliza the other was the Ada Conway living with the Jones family. Apparently when she married she gave her father as Thomas, but this doesn't make sense... I know that others have tried to order her birth certificate based on this info but the registrar wouldn't release it or give any more info. I'd try to order it my self but I'm skint :-(

may contain DOB??

Just repeating Flick's question - how old was she when she married?
Just in case Thomas was genuine, do you have an occupation for him?

It's probably me but I can't see her marriage to James Whalley.

That seems more like it, Jan

How old was she when she married, John?

This one too:

My guess is she was illegitimate and the Jones couple just cared for her:

If you're feeling rich I suppose you could send for the cert again but without specifying father's name! Not sure if it would help much though, as how could you be sure it was yours?

Jan

1869 is TOO LATE for her birth - she was 4 in 1871

Hi Flick,

I don't know Mrs Jones's maiden name, all I know is that she was Scottish. However Ada's birth does seem to be registered. I found this on the free bmd site.
