	well, her age on 1881 agrees with after she's married, if indeed it is the right person. I just can't find an AnnIE of the right age born in Southampton sylvia

	That does seem to be the one to get, especially as I couldn't find Annie VICTORIA for certain. That seems to be about it doesn't it?? sylvia How's Mudgee?? It's about -4C at the moment here, getting up to about +3 in the daytime, but lovely and sunny!

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 8,234 Send Message	Yes, Sylvia, I saw that too. Too much of a punt, I'm afraid. Helen is going to have to buy one of the children's birth certificates for confirmation. I would suggest that she gets this one: England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index: 1837-1983 about Lilian Grace Webb Name: Lilian Grace Webb Year of Registration: 1889 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Christchurch (1837-1925) County: Hampshire Volume: 2b Page: 646

	I bet this is their marriage registration Marriages Mar 1884 (>99%) >>>>BRACKSTONE Annie Southampton 2c 19 Hart Lot Southampton 2c 19 Moody Mary Jane Southampton 2c 19 >>>>>Webb James Southampton 2c 19 - - - - This also looks like Annie's birth certificate ........ maybe she was given Victoria when she was christened Births Dec 1887 (>99%) WEBB Annie Southampton 2c 31 - - - Lilian Grace's birth registration (Christchurch is the registration centre that include Bournemouth). Births Dec 1889 (>99%) Webb Lilian Grace Christchurch 2b 646 If you order one or more of these certificates from www.gro.gov.uk, you will find out the mother's maiden name. They will ask for the GRO reference number ... that's the set of 2 numbers at the right, after the place name. sylvia
