Find Ancestors

Vera Many thanks, very much appreciated. George's father is William, a Tailor, according to the marriage cert! Lou

Lou, When I can, will have a look through the rest of the Marylebones.Obviously will take time. Bye for now Vera

Vera Agree totally! And calling him WHAT is mild compared to some of the things I call him. Couldn't they have chosen somewhere other than London to live....at least then it might have been easier to search! Lou

Hi Lou, Thanks for that. Sorry for calling him a what :-) There must be something about the name George that also stands for mystery...I have an elusive George as well actually at the moment a 'brickwall'. These ancestors don't make it easy. Regards Vera

Sorry Vera, Sounds like a trip to Mothercare doesn't it!!! George Bibb married Sarah Ann Hooper, they're my gggrandparents and my biggest and worst headache at the moment! Lou

Hi Lou and Tilda, What are BIBB's? Regards Vera

Cheers Tilda Starting to think dear George wasn't London born. And given that I can't find him in 51 and he had the cheek to die before the 1861 I'm pretty stuck with him! Lou

Hi Lou Sorry - No BIBB's Tilda:-)

Vera Thank you so much for going to the trouble of searching it all for me. Its taken me 3 years to get to this point with them, I shouldn't expect too much all in one go! Tilda Guess any one of them could be them! No BIBB's on there are there by any chance???? Lou

Hi Lou, Just finished really sorry no Thomas Hooper and Family, in the St Marys parish area Regards Vera

Thanks Vera No rush...I know how these early census are to search! Lou

Hi Lou, Just to let you know I am still looking at ST MARYS. No luck yet. Regards Vera

Thanks Vera And thanks for that Laird, that might come in useful in the future. Several of the later generations that I've already located were batpsied at either St Andrews or All Souls Lou

Thanks Lou, See what I can do Regards Vera

Hi Vera Afraid I don't have a great deal on these people at the moment! All the children were baptised at St Mary St Marylebone church so is St Mary a parish??? The address given on daughter Sarah's marriage cert in 1850 just says Hall Park Lou

Hi Lou, Marylebone covers quite a few pages. Have you any part of an address or area. Regards Vera

Not sure whether this is enough information but looking for THOMAS HOOPER with wife Harriet. Not sure how old they would be but children could be Sarah Ann (20), Frances (18), Emily (16) and Edward (14), Thanks Lou
