Just to let you know havent forgot, am sending off for some certificates next week, so may be able to come up with Daisys fathers name. Have found poss link re Hastings station !! And alleluja welsh 1911 census out that may help as well Will let you know promise !!!

Actually, this was hardly one of my better magic tricks - I did a search at FreeBMD for Albert whatsit marrying Daisy M. Just in the right place at the right time - you probably just missed it by a couple of weeks of transcribing.

Now you're going to get the marriage certificate, right? For Daisy's father's name? And you'll come back and tell us, and whatever else you find?

Yes - nosy!! Big nose to go with big head.

You deserve an accolade well done !! just mind the door frames !!!
Just need to track her parents now and relationship to my grandparents !!!
THANKYOU !!!!!

Lewis !!!!!!!

What you hear is the sound of my head swelling. ;)

Lewis !!!!!

Never mind "some day". :(

"he was born under fathers first name and used name is his second"

You mean like ... he was born John James Smith and known as James Smith?

But the big question is -- what surname is given for his mother!?!

Evie
You are so right, I should know by now you have to go down so many dead ends to get the right answers when tracking some rellies !!
Why didnt I do this when dad was still here ?? Hindsight great thing !! But do love doing it totally obsessed, will say have finally found her son he was born under fathers first name and used name is his second, how slow am I !!
Will let you know outcome some day !!

Two things I meant to say --

I wouldn't be wed to that birthdate. By the time people that old died, there may not have been anybody around who actually knew. My observation is that the date tends to be about right, but the year is sometimes out. (That was the case for my grandfather, who only found out his actual birthdate in 1901, rather than 1900, when he retired.)

And for resemblances -- show anybody a picture of me, my best friend and her daughter at the age of two (or even now, at 30), and it's obvious to anybody whose kid the daughter is. Mine. Spitting image of me at two, too! My best friend and I bear absolutely no resemblance to each other, and in fact could hardly be more different. ;)

That marriage is on FreeBMD. It may have been added since you last looked. ;)

Wales isn't on the 1911 yet -- in the transcription accessible on line, i.e. We'll know when it is -- Vivienne will be throwing a party on the boards!

I am beginning to think she was taken in by our grandparents and is not related to either, but the photo of her is identical to my siter at same age, coincidence ?? I will continue delving, Wales is on 1911 census isnt it ? Am up to NA next week can look.
Thanks for your help sorry am bit dappy with info forget others cant read my mind when I get caught up in it.!!!

Great minds, Quinsgran. ;)

If that Welsh Daisy Lewis was in Wales in 1911, we'll have to wait a while yet to track her.

No Daisy in Horsham in 1911 leaps off the page.

Evie
Where on earth did you find that ?? I have been searching for months !!!
Is that on ancestory or BMD, am looking right now

Daisy Margaret wasn't with Arthur Todman in 1911


TODMAN ELLEN 1857 54 Horsham Sussex
TODMAN ARTHUR WALTER 1876 35 Horsham Sussex


So that seems to confirm that she wasn't his child or his first wife's child.


Marriages Sep 1897
Todman Arthur Walter Horsham 2b 665
WHITE Ellen Horsham 2b 665

Marriages Mar 1916
James Sarah Tedman Horsham 2b 647
Todman Arthur W James Horsham 2b 647


Sarah James in 1911?

JAMES SARAH 1892 19 Horsham Sussex

No Daisy or Margaret with her.

Will the 1911 census help to locate her

Have you tossed this on the heap too? ;)

Marriages Dec 1930
Lewis Daisy M Stevens Petersfield 2c 431
Stevens Albert T Lewis Petersfield 2c 431

Even matches one of those Q4 1908 births ...

Births Dec 1908
Lewis Daisy Margaret Aberystwith 11b 40

For the Albert Stevens you may just have to wait a bit for transcribing to catch up (barring a lot of ploughing through images).

Did they have kids? Do you have names and birth details? To get the mother's surname as stated for the births. Like you haven't tried that ... ;)

Thanks evie, but no luck with finch, she wa born Dec and traced her parents. Think this may be a family secret not to come out, if I could find an An albert Stevens marrying a Daisy in sussex may be able to track but no luck there either ??

Drag that she was born before 1911! Can't search by mother's surname then.

I'm not up on what local registry offices have by way of chronological lists.

Take a peek at this thread which has a similar sort of problem:

Hopefully someone will show up who does know your answer!

I did wonder about her name - Daisy is a nickname for Margaret. But there were six Daisy Margarets registered in Q4 1908. One was a Finch, in Eastbourne. Any chance do you think?

Todman and James, I have spent weeks checking through regs under those names, also my grandfthers previous wife white and nothing. That is why I am stuck with dob and wondering if I can get list of regs for that day anywhere ??

And now if you tell us those grandparents' names ...
