Find Ancestors

i'll get there :-) ive found margaret Annie Bannister.

There you go!

I'm sorry, the part I forgot to mention is that once you find one person, you *click on the page number* and it will show you the other names on the page.

There are usually four names on a page, and you can't tell who married whom without getting the certificate, but in your case we kinda know.

So you noted what year they married, and compared it to Elsie's birth date?

Here they are in 1901 -- Ancestry has misspelled the surname.

If you search at FreeBMD, you should be able to find the births of Tom Coxworth and Margaret Annie Bannister.

And in the 1881 census -- which is free at Ancestry (it might make you sign up as a guest) -- you should be able to find them with their parents.

Give it a shot!

The surname is misspelled in the 1881 census again, but searching for

Tom Coxworth
born 1873
born in Flixton

will find him, near the top of the results list. Then you'll see his parents' and siblings when you click on "view record".

Thank you i got to the bottom of it :-). Alec, Elsie's son was born out of wedlock because of an affair, i couldnt find the link from family easily because nobody spoke about after Alec was born.

Thanks Bianca

Margaret's birth was registered in June quarter 1880, but she is not showing herself to me in 1881. Maybe you'll find her.

I havent gont much further neither :-) im stayng positive though i will come across it soon.

Bianca.

Well, for your valiant effort, I'll check 1891. ;)

And now you have a tonne of Bannisters.

It would take me forever to download the image just now, but I imagine you can assume that Bannick is Bannister, mistranscribed for whatever moronic reason.

I forgot to search for Marg* (Margaret gets spelled / transcribed many wonderful ways). But I searched for Fred* and found them in 1881.
