Find Ancestors

I have searched & searched and can not find Reuben Line(s). His daughter Mary Ann Line was chris 1855 according to the LDS in Bath. She married in 1875 to William Woodley in Reading, Berks. He's Line on the marriage cert. His wife was called Sarah. Can't find birth/marriage/death or any census records. Any one any idea's :-)) Thanks Elaine

Does Mary's marriage cert state that Reuben is dead? nell

I assume this is the same daughter: Record FamilySearch™ International Genealogical Index v5.0 British Isles Search Results | Download | Pedigree Mary Ann Lines Female Event(s): Birth: Christening: 23 APR 1855 Bathwick, Somerset, England Parents: Father: Reuben Lines Family Mother: Sarah Source Information: Batch No.: Dates: Source Call No.: Type: Printout Call No.: Type: C017455 Film Sheet: Is Bathwick the same as Bath? nell

Did they all live in Berkshire, or did they like to be annoying and move around?

Helen The cert states he's a blacksmith but not that he's dead and yes thats the one on LDS. Also on other census Mary said her place or birth was Bath. So I thought Bathwick & Bath where one and the same. Chloe, I have no idea if they moved around, although Mary & William moved to Kensington, London about 1878. I just can't find him anywhere :-((((((((( E x

I suppose you have tried variations like Lions or Limes?

What is Mary's address on her marriage certificate? Have you checked that address out yet?

Robin Hood gosh where did you find that.....it's a poss as I haven't found anything else. If it is him i can trawl 1851-1855 to find a marriage on 1837online. Chloe - yes thats William & Mary, later census state birth place of Bath, Sarah their first born was born Reading along with Ada who died at 1, followed by my Gt grandfather William born 1879 Kensington. E x smiling :-)

Using that info that Robin Hood found, I can't seem to find him on a later census. Not under Reuben Line, born in Steeple Ashton, at least.

Hi The Reuben I found is on the IGI christened at Steeple Aston 18.4.1830 Father George ,mother Ann Mattock

Robin Got him on the IGI, but what census are you looking at for 1851, this so could be him. Off now to trail 1837online. E x

Gosh J/A/S 1853 Reuben Line marriage Bath Vol 5c pg 1081, is this him, need to spend another £7 and if is thanks to Robin & Chloe. Now got a long wait........ E :-))) xx

oh so excited, if this is my Reuben there loads of brothers & sisters, Aunts & Uncles to follow up on the IGI, thanks so much E x

Hi Elaine, As you are on a roll: What is William Woodley's fathers name, can check 1851 Berks by name for him, but it will be tomorrow before I can. Best wishes Amanda

A lot more work done by Robin than myself. I still can't find them on the 1871. Grrrr. Anyway, found this on Worldconnect. Possible relative (same parents as Reuben on IGI). Just remove the brackets. http://worldconnect.rootsweb(.)com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2993898&id=I582057521

Amanda I do know that William's Parents were John Woodley & Louisa Head - Louisa's father was Issac & have lots of info on the Head's. William was born 1851, & older brother Thomas 1850, have Louisa & John's marriage but don't know any more on John Woodley. except he married Louisa in 1849 in Kintbury (Hungerford) Berks and his father was John Woodley Labourer. any help would be wonderful E x
