Find Ancestors

Thank you for this information, I feel I am well on the way to sorting my mistakes out now. Thanks again, Dorothy

I have subscriptions to FMP and Ancestry, but I found all the census information on Find My Past (it is also available on the Ancestry site), but as I was logged on to FMP, I was using that site.

I found the marriages on the free BMD site -


http://www.freebmd.org.uk

You are a marvel choccy, glad to see she was with her youngest son again.
Where do you find all this information?

Thank you Choccy for confirmimg the family story that Ettie left her young family in London. The pity is we don't know why.

Etty now appears to be on her own with one of her sons -

IT IS Jane Verran on the original of the 1861 census. It has been mis-transcribed as Jane Winder.

Sorry Astra, could you explain did Elizabeth Draydon marry John Jago or did he marry Jane Saundry as his 2nd marriage?

Thank you, everyone of you for replying so quick. Thanks to Choccy who sorted the 1861 family out, I read Verran instead of Winder and this makes more sense. They are not the same family, but why can I not find John Jago at 23yrs old on the 1861 census, I know his father was Jeremiah Jago and his mothers name was Sarah?
