where have you looked so far. what do you already know about her. Your enquiry is very open ended

Hester

Hester Report 27 Oct 2008 09:54

sorry.
She wasn't born in england, but she died in London,
Married to Henry Orchover, unsure when exactly.
They had, as far as i know 6 children together.
two of which where not born in england.
My grandfather Joe, their third child, was born in 1906 in Stepney, It would have been sometime between 1904 and 1906 that the came over.
They had three other children after him. Two of which i don't think were born in england.
Any information on Esther will be great,
hope this helps
thanks

sounds like you going to need the 1911 census which hopefully will say where she was born

Hester, the 1911 census isnt available at the moment . its hopefully going to be partially search able in 2009. If you have an address that can be looked at by an enquiry to the National Archives at Kew but it costs around £45 per address search and isnt refundable if that address searched doesnt show with the ancestors you hoped lived there.
We all waiting for this census to be available I think.!

I don't understand why i can't find the deaths of Esther Orchover nee Reiss, in 1957 and Henry Orchover...all i can think is that maybe Henry moved out of the country as no one knows what happened to him, Esther def. died in 1957. Its all very strange.

Hester

Hester Report 27 Oct 2008 10:13

Thanks Shirley, i do have an address, but not £45!!!
Never mind, thank you for your help.

Are you a member on Ancestry is it you who has put a post on there asking for info on Esther and her father who was born in the Ukraine.

the full records are pay to view .you either need an Ancestry sub or Find My Past subs or
buy units on there to search. Don't buy units from Genes as they dont hold records ,they just redirect you to another site.They arn.t a cheap way to do searching.
You can take a 14 free trial on Ancestry or a monthly sub .
