Find Ancestors

I am not asking for a look up !!

Just a fresh pair of eyes to check + confirm that John William Rabbit ( b. 1874 , Aston , Birmingham , Warwickshire ) & wife Ada (b. 1876 , Aston , Birmingham) are NOT on there( at least i can't find them).
I'm not asking to look at transcipt...just a check on the free-to-use part of the website.

Their name is also spelled : Rabbitt , Rabbett & Rabett

Thankyou

Paranoid. ;)

I tried them both, with "surname starts with RAB" and 3 years either side for birth, no luck.


For surname RAB*T in Birmingham there are one Rabbit (Eliza 1839) and three Rabnetts, no John/Ada, is all.

Thanks again Janey .

I know if you have looked & can't find them ..well , they are going to stay lost !

Roy

Ooooh ... that feels like a glove smacking my face. ;)

Hmmmmm .....


just for ref:

Marriages Mar 1903
Butlin Ada Aston 6d 445
RABBIT John William Aston 6d 445

Well she didnt find the Suddabys ,did you Janey?

I did,but I dont see these.

You are wonderful too Vivienne !!

...i don't want to start a war ...!

We are always at war Roy ,so dont fret about it.

Have you any childrens names and ages etc?

Mind you I cant even see John on the 1901 at the moment.
Need to hone my paltry skills some more!

I can't as yet confirm any children for this couple...sorry

Should also add i have checked FreeBMD for possible deaths & could not find anything "suitable".

John has several brothers on 1881 census, so i'm guessing that there may have been quite afew little Rabbit's hopping around Birmingham area by 1911..! ( & no way of knowing who they belonged to either).

Is this one theirs?

Births Jun 1903
Rabbett Lilian Kathleen Aston 6d 465

The only other one in Warwickshire to 1911 is:

Births Sep 1905
Rabbitt Ivy W. Bromwich 6b 910


Tell what you know! If they have kids, are they in the 1911?

You may be right ... 'cause I can't find 'em. Or a death or remarriage for either to 1911 ... that's about three defeats this afternoon and I think I should slink home in shame.

Viv, are you looking for outgoing at findmypast?

I've figured out that when I back-page to the search form I have to reload or it doesn't work.

But this "Year of departure must be numeric" is getting up my nose. What does it THINK "1903" is, a fruit?

Thats where I was,none to suit and I have looked at all the first 12 possible images so far.
Between 1903 and 1911 that is.

Will give it one more go.

Would you adam and eve it?
No image available for this one,I tell you FMP isnt worth the money like Ancestry,thank Evans I only went for 6 months.
Going to check on Ancestry for it now.

So why isn't FMP telling YOU "Year of departure must be numeric"?

I'm just a non-paying freeloader, I guess.

I did check the 1911 Canadian census. No joy. And no deaths in NSW.


Oh, another leapfrog post. Congrats. Who's with her??


Hahaha. I can slip it in with an edit.

RABBIT A Adult F 1904 Liverpool USA New York

Well that's not right, is it?

Dont know who is with her,it wont let me see the image,Im working on it.

But there is this on Anc,,,,shes off to join her husband and travelling alone.

Another one for the end of October when 1911 goes to subs I think.

Janey & Vivienne

Thankyou both very much for your help with this tonight--it is very much appreciated.

It certainly seems to suggest that the Rabbit's went to Canada & hopefully made a good life for themselves there.

Regards

Roy

Unfortunately Cdn records aren't available for the period needed.

Thought I'd check the Ontario deaths to 1934 and marriages to 1924, but nothing there.

Just thought I would report that when I searched for marriages for surname RABB*T, I for some reason got a result (spouse not rabb*t) for a bride named Ellen Furry.

Ancestry being cute? ;)

The one on the 1911 passenger list is joining her husband William in Hamilton Ontario.
