Find Ancestors

hiya ann try and see if you can get death cert, this should verify if her name was mary clara or vise versa, would also give an idea as to her dob, then you'd have something more to go on. julie

what sweets? OK I know what you mean but it is paying it out in one lump. Not so bad when you have a salary coming in but i will I promise!

Ancestry works out about a quid a week - just dont eat sweets for one day and its paid for.

Reggie, got that in 2004 so maybe you are right. Ann Glos

Can't see any sign on the IGI of the birth info you mention................perhaps it has been removed by the LDS Reg

Thanks for all thatw as added while I was typing. Something to begoing on with there. As to why I am not a member of Ancestry. basically cost, although I am gearing up to join when I get back from holiday after next week. Ann Glos

Thanks Heather, census definitely say Somerset and the IGI has her brother John Martin Tamblyn born Somerset as well. But the interesting thing is that her parents Mary Tregellas and Willia Tamblyn were married at St Agnes Cornwall in 1855, so it is possible she was born Cornwall and maybe moved to Somerset later. If only there was a Mary Clara in that list it would solve the mystery!! And sorry, hadn't realised I could search the BMD without being a member, wouldn't like you to think i was being lazy. i will have a go tomorrow. Ann Glos

At least you can either think the unamed girl may be yours or as you now know you can access the full bmd index on ancestry without being a member, you can at least discount those years. Why arent you an ancestry member - I cant see how anyone can manage without it!

If the parents' names are accurate........this is their marriage WILLIAM TAMBLYN Male Marriages: Spouse: MARY TREGELLES Marriage: 10 MAR 1855 Saint Agnes Near Truro, Cornwall, England And 1851 census......... Mary Tregellas abt 1792 Kenwyn, Cornwall, England Head St Agnes Cornwall View Record Mary Tregellas abt 1833 Kewwyn, Ireland Daughter St Agnes Cornwall Ignore the 'Ireland' bit............. Reg

You dont need to be a member to access the index at the moment. Tamblyn Female St Columb.5c 119 Birth 2 1867 Tamblyn Female Liskeard.5c 56 Birth 4 1868 Anyway, here are the Marys: 41 Tamblyn Mary Martha Liskeard.5c 53 Birth 4 1867 42 Tamblyn Mary Frances Penzance.5c 307 Birth 3 1869 43 Tamblyn Mary Frances Penzance.5c 294 Birth 4 1870 44 Tamblyn Mary J St Columb.5c 100 Birth 4 1866 45 Tamblyn Mary St Columb.5c 109 Birth 4 1869 Tamblyn Mary Jane Bodmin.5c 94 Birth 3 1869 39 Tamblyn Mary Jay Bodmin.5c 89 Birth 1 1870 40 Tamblyn Mary Ann Liskeard.5c 62 Birth 1 1870

Julie, no I don't have the death cert. Heather No I have looked on 1837 and Free BMD (not a member of Ancestry as yet) from March 1866 to December 1869. Ann Glos

So she was born about 1867? Have you looked a year or so either side of this on the ancestry full bmd index - not just free bmd, which isnt complete? Ive had a quick look on familyrelatives and there is no Clara from 1866 - 1870 (though I guess she may be younger). There was however a 'Female' Tamblyn born 1867 St Columb, 5c 119 - I believe thats Cornwall isnt it? Doesnt the mother have a cornish name? Ill just nip back and copy the Marys on there.

hiya, do you have her death cert??? julie

Not a bright idea.......but a reminder that registration wasn't compulsory until 1875 Reg

My Husband's Gt grandmother, on her wedding certificate to Isaac Masters Apr 1885 is Clara Tamblyn age 18. On her daughter Kate's birth cert Jul 1885 she is Clara masters formerly Tamblyn. On the 1891 she is Clara masters age 25 born Somersetshire. The IGI gives her date of birth as 16 Apr 1868 St Brenden Hill Summerset...Wales(submitted after 1991 by a member of LDS so not reliable). Parents William H Tamblyn and Mary Tregellas. In the 1901 Isaac's wife is Mary Masters age 33 born Somerset. I am assuming that Clara and Mary are one and the same (Clara Mary or Mary Clara) as Clara didn't die until she was quite elderly as I have a photo of her and we have made contact with a second cousin of my husband who knows she was elderly when she died. My problem is that I cannot find a birth for her so far. there is one Mary Tamblyn on Free BMD but the dates don't tally. Has anyone any bright ideas to narrow down the search please? Ann Glos
