Find Ancestors

Hi, that looks very promising! Well Done!

The only information I have is that in 1930 - Annie Dear's sister Mrs Draper of High Street, Kensworth, Herts admitted her sister to the Three Counties Asylum in Arlesey, Beds in July 1930. This information was written on my grandmother's medical records. She was placed there suffering with post natal depression upon the birth of a stillborn child and stayed there until her death in 1977.

what does anyone think ?

Christine, I might be going a bit mad here (quite common with me!) but I can't find them on census reports. If you have them can you put details on here, e.g.for 1901?
Thanks

Mrs Draper is the sister of my Grandmother Annie Dear born 1887 in Stotfold, Beds/Herts died 1977. Parents were Sarah Dear/John Dear who were both born in 1846. I believe her maiden name was Gentle.

Another MISTAKE her maiden name was DEAR not GAUNT. So sorry!

Mrs Draper is one of 5 sisters, 2 of which I have ruled out.
Mary born 1891, May born 1881 and Sarah 1876 all in Stotfold, they lived in Brook Street, Stotfold, Herts. Anything else I could help you with please don't hesitate to ask and thank you again for your willingness to help me.

ps I've replied on the mauve button this time!

Not seeing a draper/gaunt marriage at all.

A first name maybe?

PM from Christine:

Hi Janet, how stupid of me, yes her maiden name was Gaunt all the family were born in and around Stotfold, Bedfordshire.

You don't have her maiden name I take it? if you do you might be able to look for marriage and offspring. If this is really all you have I would go down the electoral register route. This would have to be done in person - or by someone working there - where the archives are stored. This is usually at the nearest main library to the area. It will only give you people over 21 but might be a start.
Where is Kensworth anyway??

I'm trying to locate the family of my Great Aunt - Mrs Draper who lived in High Street, Kensworth, Herts in 1930 she was born in Stotfold, Bedfordshire area that's the only information I have available. Would really welcome some help on this please?
