Malc- i am going to the records office again prob by the end of the week - its only 5 mins away if you come unstuck * if it helps- you could stand in East st and spit on St Edmunds row jess

Thats the one Elaine Thomas Ives My G grandad and Hannah Rabbit were brother and sister.Dont know who their parents were though

Hi Elaine According to thw 1881 census thats a brother but here's a wierd twist the one that ran away was known as George. I have written to Chelsea Hospital to see if its the same Sargeant Ives that used to head the parade at the rememberance march (Chelsea pensioners) on the BBC prog during the sixties (something my late auntie Doll said) Malc

oh dear sorry, Malc, trying to help but methinks have hindered!! Joy

Joy George Clayson was born Northampton Sue

ah that's why I couldn't find him!! :-) is he stepson born Richmond Surrey? Joy

Malc That July/Aug/Sept is when he was registered so he could have been born in May. Sue

Sorry Joy got side tracked .Found out the family are in the 1891 census as Ives but then early 1900s plot thickened a brother ran away I think going on what I remember of my dad and what a cousin has said thats why dad was in the army first time round to look for him (second time round WW2.)

yes still a worry because you are away. anyway back to the 1891 census - have you found them there? Joy

Hi Joy. Thanks for asking (and Jude sorry didnt reply) Mum has a bit more colour and the Bloods came back fine so its a mystery. She still gets dizzy spells and I am a bit worried as I am in Blackpool for a few days(USDAW ADM) next week. She has a phone in every room, my ex wife no2 is just around the corner and the house opposite keeps an eye out but well you know. Malc

PS How's your Mum now? Joy

Ok, Malc, have you found them together on the 1891 census? Do not fret, we'll get there. Hold my hand. :-) Joy

Problem is Joy that according to BMD My great grandparents didnt marry until 1889.?????

well, as Jess says the marriage certificate is in the post, how about waiting until then; you can then send for the birth certificate saying providing that his father is ............... . Malc, you could order it from the register office saying that. :-) Joy

Thanks Jess nice one. I just got confused and forgot to do it myself. malc
