Find Ancestors

oh no somersetgirl..........thats a problem!!!!!!!!!!!! as William was born in Ludlow........but son Alfred was born way earlier!.......Fanny must have been in India for Albert to have been born there so hence I followed the india marriage........who knows - either could actually be right!

Out of interest Alfred names his first daughter Frances............its making me wonder if Frances and Fanny are the same person........and that it could be an error on the census..............

IF FANNY AND FRANCES ARE SISTERS.......I CANNOT FIND THEM TOGETHER ON ANY CENSUS UNDER THE NAME HANSFORD.......I THOUGHT MAYBE WILLIAM PYEFINCH MAY HAVE HAD A BROTHER WHO MARRIED A FRANCES BUT IT SAYS SHE WAS BORN BRIDPORT DORSET WHICH TIES IN WITH FANNY/FRANCES .......I'M STUMPED!!

HI SOMERSET GIRL - THATS THE ONE I POSTED PREVIOUSLY.....AND WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES!

so..........does everyone think the Fanny Lake is not the correct marriage........there seems to be alot of LAKES in Bridport which makes me wonder!!!!!! And what is happening on the 1891 census?

Thats the marriage I found...... Alfred and Fanny Lake carry on in 1881, 1891, 1901 etc etc so its not them!!!!!!!!!!

The christening in Lodgers doesnt tie in with any of the birth records as it was in1844

this is really hard!!!........seems like there are not many missing links...... but it just doesnt tie in at the moment!!! there seems to be 3 or 4 possible births for fanny Hansford in Bridport.........the MC is abroad so I havent a copy to say who her father was

Fanny Hansford 1848 Apr-May-Jun Dorset
Fanny Hansford 1852 Apr-May-Jun Dorset
Fanny Elizabeth Hansford 1854 Oct-Nov-Dec Dorset
Fanny Hansford 1855 Oct-Nov-Dec Dorset

You will have to be patient with me as there are so many details here - I will try and keep things as briefly as I can:

1) Alfred William Pyefinch - born 1870 Bengal, India - parents William John Pyefinch and Fanny Pyefinch

2) In 1870 there is a marriage in Bengal,India between William Pyefinch and FANNY LAKE

3) William Pyefinch was in the military - so makes sense why he was abroad

4) Here is them in 1881

6) Going back to the marriage she is under the name LAKE......there is a alfred LAKE/ fanny HANSFORD marriage before 1870 so she could have been a widowerwhen she married William Pyefinch but they continue together long after this time so that is not her............can anyone help me out! Is she really a HANSFORD or a LAKE?............and what is happening on the 1891 census?
