Find Ancestors

That was fun and hopefully it helped some people but, as Isobel says, better not push it! Thanks to Isobel for all her help, maybe we'll do it again sometime!

Hi Madison Would be great if you could find anything for CAMPBELL in London - Andrew b1811 and Margaret B 1819, children all born shortly after 1841, in St Margaret Pattens, Middlesex. I also have Henry Clark b1819 and Jane Clark b 1821 but I can appreciate all these names are probably quite common. Many thanks Sally

Hi Sally Ann Nothing for the Campbells but there's a Henry & Jane Clark together in Holborn division, ref H_675-3 pg 27. Henry is stated as being 23, no age given for Jane Maddie

Could you lookup WILLIAM HICKS in 1841-would be about 18-could be in Holborn, Middlesex and his parents/ Thanks, Rosalyn

Hi Rosalyn Do you have any other details for William, parents, siblings, maybe? There are 19 William Hicks on the index of about the right age, 7 of them in Holborn Division Maddie

Hi Susan Only 2 William Leemings on the index, one aged 5 in Bolton and the other aged 6 in West Derby. You don't say how old your William will be. Any use to you? Maddie

Hi Isabel Thanks for the warning, I'm aware of how awkward they can be over their indexes. This is a 'tonight only' offer while I'm bored sitting here at work and failing miserably to get anything to enter into this new tree builder the site have introduced, so lets hope I can get away with it and help a few people in the meantime! Maddie

Maddie, I only have him on 1861 and 1871 census married to Mary and with children. Rosalyn

Hello, 1851 lancashire look up- Could you look up a Margaret rowles and husband john rowles both aged around 86 in 1851, both born manchester, and should be living in manchester or possibly warrington! in 1851. Hope you can help! Alison

Hi Rosalyn These two look your best bet to try first William Hicks aged 18 with mother Hannah and a 7yr old Robert. Holborn Division H_675-1 pg123. William Hicks age rounded down to 15 with parents Richard & Elizabeth and a Jane Hicks, age also rounded down to 15. Holborn Division H_686-4 pg21 Maddie

don't want to get you in trouble but can you spot Louisa Ames born 1817 so aged about 24 also Henry Ames about 21 probably with wife Catherine both in London - probably east end thanks netti x

Thanks, Maddie -but as Im used to Scottish lookups not sure what numbers mean-is it Ancestry? Rosalyn

Hi Rosalyn They're the pages that the full information can be found on the census discs, not actually having the discs myself I'm not totally sure how it works, sorry! Isabel is offering to check the references I've found against her discs for people Hi Isabel That would be brilliant of you as long as its not going to get you into trouble as well if they start kicking my butt for this! Sorry Isobel, I keep spelling your name wrong! Maddie

Hi Alison We have a Margaret and John Rowles on the index in Warrington but she's 58 and he's 37, there's a George aged 18 at the same reference number. I'm assuming they're not yours but in case you want to check if the ages on the index are accurate, the reference is HO107 2203-3 pg 590 Maddie

Hi Madison, Thanks very much. I'm looking for John Myers aged abt 40ish in 1841, and his daughter Frances MYERS(aged abt 15-19, and possibly a wife of the same name. They were in Garden Rd, Poplar in 1844 when Frances married William HUMPAGE. Any info would be great. Thanks, Sue (in NZ)

Isabel , could you do the lookups for William Hicks for me -thanks, Rosalyn

Hi Madison Thanks for the kind offer. Any info on the HUCKS family living in London in 1841 would be appreciated. Christiana HUCKS b. 1815 approx, her children Sarah HUCKS b. 1832 approx, James b. 1834 Christiana b 1831 & William b. 1841. Her husband may have been James HUCKS. Sarah was born Battersea St. Mary, London. Thanks again, Joan

Hi Netti I'll risk it if it helps lol! Sorry, loads of Ames on the index but no Henry with a Catherine and the only Louisa is aged 5 with parents Samuel and Maria Maddie

Hi Sue Several John Myers but most of them are alone. The ones who are with other people of the same surname don't have a Frances with them Maddie

Hi Joan Lots of Hucks but none that match yours. Tried Hicks just in case but no Christiana with any children Maddie
