Find Ancestors

Oh, I've tried Prid*, Bull*, Gard*r ... he ain't there in 1901, at least not so as he can be found.

I wonder whether, if he were in an institution -- born prematurely or otherwise ill, or being fostered for nursing or some such -- he would show only by his initials.

Well, I did look at this fellow ages ago. Why did I discard him?

L,

Hey, BoroGirl! Yup, Devon is home to one line of my ancestors. One of the tiniest hamlets of all -- Tamerton Folliot. ;)

I think it's settled that Dorothy was born there, and the family was there in 1891. It's just that the two older daughters of Louisa were in Lancashire in 1901, where the rest of the family also was, but boarding separately.



Now, just harkening back to the Hayne household with the Henry P Fox in 1901 -- the wife was a Greaves. Clutching at straws to find a connection, I see this in the list of births around the time with given name Prid*:

Births Mar 1902
Greeves Joseph Pridmore Doncaster 9c 883

But I think that's a mighty short straw. :)

Hi Eviebeavie, Heidi,Boro Girl.

Thanks for all your hard work last night, only just signed in and seen that you did some more do you never sleep!!

I will look into all the information you found more closely, with my friend later or tomorrow when we are supposed to be getting our turn of the snow! here in North Wales as we will be snowed in without a doubt.

I think the 1901 Henry P Fox is probably him.

I will also edit my thread as looking for Henry P Fox as suggested , to think I only started by wanting to find out if there was a problem at Ancestry!and look what I got.

Thanks you again I will let you know if there is any more progress

Gail and Louise

I am away from my computer at the moment if anyone replies, picking the kids up and playing TAXI.

But I will reply to anyone later

Hi all

Spoke to my friend today, we think that the Henry P Fox in Birmingham in 1901 is probably ours, apprently the family were wealthy and had nannies, so he could well have been left with the 'hired help'.

Will keep looking for his birth sure it will turn up these things have a habbit of doing so

I've said it before but no harm in saying it again Thanks for everyons help especially Eviebeavie and Heidi
