Find Ancestors

Am new to this, sorry! Trying to find out who my great grandmas parents were. Her name was Alice Webster, birth reg Jan-Mar 1895 in Beverley and she appears on the 1901 census aged 6, living with her grandparents Robert and Alice Mann and her 2 year old sister Elsie, but no mention of their parents.

Hi
In 1891 there was a Mann family living in Ladygate, Beverley, Yorks
Head Robert c1832 wife Alice (could be the grandparents) with children Adelaide, James and Lucy. Now we need to check who adelaide and lucy married!!

Marriage of Robert Mann and Ann Shakespear AMJ 1856 in Beverley, Yorks
In 1861 they are living in Kitchen Lane, but with no children

I think the birth cert of Alice or Elsie is needed to solve the problem
or Alice's marriage cert would give her father's name

Looks like the marriage

This one is a possibility for Sarah Ellen on the 1871?

Registered as Branton, but probably Robert's child?

Births Sep 1870

Branton Sarah Ellen Beverley 9d 106

Just to complicate matters further:

Robert on 1871:

Births Dec 1869
BRANTON Robert Mann Beverley 9d 92

Dea x

So he had two children Robert and Sarah Ellen with the housekeeper Elizabeth Branton registered as Branton but shown as Mann on the census returns!!

what about this one??

Sarah Ellen Branton married James Mann in JFM 1888 in Swaffham, Norfolk (where Robert originated from)!!

Further complications?

Births Sep 1872

Branton Adelaide Beverley 9d 103

Dea x

That solves it
Adelaide Mann Branton married JFM 1892 William Thomas Webster

So they should be Alices parents but Adelaide went on to marry again and maybe the new husband didnt want Williams children living with them?? or maybe they were just staying with their grandparents

Then she married William Lambert OND 1900 in Beverley

and Elizabeth Branton was Alices grandmother not Alice

Deaths Dec 1898
Webster William Thomas 25 Beverley 9d 69

This one is also puzzling me - I can't seem to tie it in or follow it anywhere!
