hi George

Yes that the one thank you I am sure Lisa will appreicate that as it has more children than I could find

It looks as if they were living with Lilian's grandmother at that time as Lilian is her granddaughter and it is strange that they put Henry down as grandson in law



thanks

Lisa,
How do you know that Lilian's father was William and not Phillip?

What info do you have to back this up?

The marriage already found is the only one I can see for Lilian Treviss to ? Kennedy, so do you have the birth certs. of the children you mention in your thread heading?

I thought you were looking for descendants of Lilian's children, are you also looking for her ancestors then?

Are you sure that William Richard Treviss was not Lilian's Grandfather and not her father?

Lilian is noted here as daughter, but she is not the daughter of William and Emily but there Granddaughter (see birth record for Lilian).
She is probably noted as daughter to keep up appearances.

(Note Sarah is now married to "Philip")
So Lilian, being the illegitimate daughter of Sarah, looks to have put her Step Father's christian name down on her marriage record, but also used her Grandfather's surname and his occupation, probably because she was raised by him).

(My Granmother did the same thing, so it was not uncommon to lie a little to save face.)

Hi Guys,i have to agree now its pointed out to me it makes sense!!!!
i didnt have any concrete evidence to say Lillian was Sarah's sister,i just took the records i had at face value(a little naive,maybe)
i have all the records above so i dont know how i missed it really.So let me get this straight,you DO think Lillian married a kennedy,but gave her grandads surname & occupation on her marriage cert,but gave her step fathers forename?
Although the last record on this thread is VERY interesting,Philip was my gg grandfather ,its interesting to know he re-married,Emily Miriam was my nan's mum,and Albert was her half brother,i recently visited his grave in a town about 10 miles from where i live.kind regaeds Lisa.again many thanks,,its much appreciated xxx

Hi Lisa,
Yes, I think you have it now!

As far as I can see:-
William Richard Treviss marries Emily Gill and go on to have three girls:-
Emily, Alice and Sarah Elizabeth.
Sarah E. has a daughter Lilian in Mar 1885 and in Oct.1885 marries Philip Garcia, who may or not be the father of Lilian as Lilian's birth record is under the name of Treviss:-
Births Mar 1885 (>99%)
Treviss Lilian Shoreditch 1c 62
Sarah has Lilian christened in Jan 1886 under her maiden name.
Sarah and Philip have a daughter Emily in 1886.
William Rich. dies in 1898 and Sarah in 1900.
Lilian and Emily are raised by Philip and Grandmother Emily and in 1903 Lilian marries Henry Kennedy .
In 1911 she, and her family, can be found living with her Grandmother Emily.
Emily, (the sister), goes on to marry Albert Higginson in 1906.
In 1911 Philip is found living with Edith (probably Franklin) and her daughter Queenie. They are noted as being married although I haven't looked for a marriage so they could just be living together.
I haven't looked for Emily and Albert in 1911 so don't know where they were, but I did find another child for them:-
Births Dec 1911 (>99%)
Higginson Miriam M Garcia Hackney 1b 914

Hope that is all clear now.
Regards
Catherine
