Find Ancestors

Does anyone have Rhoda/Rose Awcock in their records from the south London/Middx/Surrey/Kent/Sussex area? Mother and daughter both have same christian name and born c1850 and c1883. There is also a Charles, Jesse, Doris, Rosina, Queenie and Elsie May in the two generations. They all appear to be Awcock so could be either illegitimate or intermarriage. There is also a William(Bill) Wood on the scene who lived with them for many years but I believe he was already married to someone else.

I found this for you

Thanks Flick, I was floundering a little.

When I re-read it I notice Dorothy said it was in two generations, not necessary siblings.
I could find all those your mentioned.

So Dorothy didn't return to check the replies.................why am I not surprised?

Hiya

When I posted this thread I was not hopeful of any replies as I have posted a number over the years without any success so to have you two wonderful people coming back so quickly with so much info is absolutely terrific. I have been doing my family tree for a few years now and it is very much 'as and when' so I would have probably half-heartedly checked next weekend. However, Gael was kind enough to message me and it was then I found this wealth of information. So, Flick, please do not be so hard (or surprised) on those of us who do not return to check the replies straight away, and please do not stop posting replies as I, for one, am so appreciative of your time and effort.

I had already found a lot of this info but none of the names tied in with the ones I had gleaned from my 83 year old mother in law. That was until Gael came up with the marriage of Edward and Rhoda Tester.

My mother in law (Gwen) was illegitimate with a mother (Elsie May Awcock) who (on her death bed) said she had hated her all her life. Gwen certainly had a raw deal and was treated more like a slave than a daughter. As she was older than her siblings she had the responsibility of looking after them and had the belt buckle if they did anything wrong. Gwen’s siblings had a number of fathers who were around for a while so were a known quantity but Gwen was given the name Tester on her birth certificate and when she asked about her father and why Tester, her mother would say that she did not know who he was and Tester was just a name she made up as she was not married.

I am now confident that Rhoda Tester and Edward Awcock are the parents of Rhoda jnr so my next job is to find the link via Rhoda jnr to her children who include Elsie May (born in workhouse c1913) Doris, Rosina and Queenie.

Thanks to you both for all your help.

Regards
Dot

Would the children have been registered as AWCOCK?

And in which years would they have been born?

Thereby lays the problem. I believe Elsie was so I guess the rest were also but I keep drawing a blank.
