Find Ancestors

Marcelle! they did have kids of their own - you can buy the cert of the kiddie to get mums previous name and maiden name.

On the 1861 census, they've 2 kids with them, Harriet aged 8 and Elizabeth aged 3. Both recorded as their daughters. Oh, but they arent leaping out as registered as Strong :( Anyone see them?

Oh dear, this all seems a bit weird doesnt it.

Yes I think they had Elizabeth abt 1858

Well, FTF have come up with all the same variations as us plus Flinstone (which crossed my mind actually - LOL) but no sign. Take it she had no kids with John?

Its driving me mad!! Im off to work now so will check back in later

I've been trying lots of different surnames aswell looking for the boy's births but can't come up with anything.

So annoying isn't it?

Thanks Heather, Im still trying different surnames

Ive just asked for more eyes on FTF.

there is a death 1874 of a george strong in glou,,born 1846.. but knowing if he used the strong name or "hurstine"?

Still no sign of the boys births with that name though. Nor Hunstone

do you think the first 4 letters could be hunst***

Just wondering if the surname is Hurlstone?

I cant find the two boys births either with that name. I think thats the root of the prob. If we could work out what it should be ........

Yes its his brother and wife Sarah Ashman. I got John and Roberts birth when some one kindly checked the baptism records

Thank gawd for that, thought I was going loopy! So not 1803. Is that his brother, Robert, next door?

Not sure thats the right name for her - can we find anyone with that surname in a previous census or marriage?

The Strong family have been a pain in the butt! I just seem to go round in circles! Thanks for helping me out

in the 1851 shes down as b 1812. and in the 1861 down as b 1821?

Not convinced on the spelling for Elizabeth and family

I searched under John Strong born abt 1803 Heather, sorry just noticed its Hurstine, missed the s out
Sorry

Im sure it must be me, but I cant find them in 1851 - ?

Thanks everyone. Its given me something to look into. I did a search on George (Elizabeths son) and for some reason in 1851 census there are 2 enteries exactly the same.
Once again thanks for your help
