Please could somebody kindly do me a 1851 census for a John French born 1845 Milcomb Oxford, he may have had a sister called Elizabeth born 1853 but i supose i will need to have that checked on the 1861 census as i have a Bertha French daughter of John above living with her Aunty and Uncle - Thomas and Elizabeth hall - on the 1891 and 1901 census and just trying to work out if Elizabeth is the Blood relative on the French side or Thomas is on Bertha's Mother Elizabeth judge's side as Judge could have been another married name as she had a son - Walter j Judge before she married John French....and wondered if she was called Hall as her maiden name, hope i'm not losing you on this!!
Many thanks

Betteridge Elizabeth Tamworth 6b 603
...>>>Hall Thomas Tamworth 6b 603
Pickett Maria Tamworth 6b 603
Smith John Tamworth 6b 603

I think this is your marriage as there is Allens living with them in 1881 & 1891.

Hi Ozibird,
this looks like Ann French wasn't married...and the above...looks to be the marriage of Thomas Hall and Elizabeth Allen you have got to be right on this one!

Just need to tie the Hall's to the French's...i though Elizabeth might have been a French...but youv'e solve that as she has to be a Allen
many thanks for this

Angela Report 5 Mar 2008 20:58

Maybe Thomas Hall is Elizabeth Judge's Brother?....perhaps there is a Judge marriage around 1873/4 of Elizabeth as originally i thought her son Walter James Judge 1874 was illigitemate

Hi Nicki, thanks i think 1844 too, i was thinking John French could have had a sister called Elizabeth who married Thomas Hall and that's who Bertha went to live with but looks like not now....so wondering if Elizabeth Judge's maiden name was Hall and she had a brother called Thomas who Brought Bertha up

Angela, I'm not sure Harriet & Elizabeth are sisters. I've just been away to have breakfast, but I'm on the case again for about half an hour.

Ozi.

In 1891 there is a William Allen Jane c1851. Well he's actually Wm Allen Jnr, & I think this is the family.

Thanks Nicki and Ozi, i've just been upstairs to sort my son out...but i'm back now...
I've just come across a Charles French Born 1869 Milcomb Oxfordshire married to a Clara marson and they have a bertha french born 1890 Tamworth...this must be a connection to John French as he was born in Milcomb also and his daughter bertha french was born in Tamworth in 1880?
Charles French also had
Edith 1893
Mimmie 1895
Frances 1896
William 1898-1917
Emma 1900
Albert 1901
Harry 1904
Charles 1907
Walter 1911 1988

Or Charles and John could be cousin's?
