Find Ancestors

Although this is my first post on this thread, I am , like Peter who I have met, an ancestor of the BRETTs so I am very pleased to see all this help! Thank you so much! Both Peter and I wonder how it is that these monied rellies passed us bye. The Auntie Phillis who lived in Farndon , and her daughter, seem to have had money and now this line .....but not Peter & I ...ah well, back to the grindstone!

OOOPS!!! I can't bleeping type,sorry. He's Martin,not Shaw.

Sigh. I think I'd better stick to c and pasting.

Haha no worries at all about the spelling mistakes! Easily done. Edward Harrison Martin appears quite a bit in the newspapers ... he seems to have been involved in the military in the 1850s. Thank you for the 1891 for Susan Martin ... seems she died in 1925.

Well, thank you again, as I seem to have discovered a great deal about Jane Brett (1843-1875). However, what became of her mother is still a mystery ... any ideas where to look now?

Peter

Jane senior ... could this be her death under a corruption of her name?

It is such a shame that ages are not given at this time! Can I confirm that there is no sign of Jane in 1861/1871 etc.

Thanks again

Hi Peter,
I think you've found it for sure!! (fingers crossed)

I certainly don't see anyone likely for Jane/marriage or death after that.

Maureen

Hi Maureen and thank you, as your opinion and advice is appreciated!

All the best from Spain,

Peter

Hmmm....may have spoken too soon. It may be this lady's death:

Ah yes that would seem more likely! Oh, where are you Jane?! The logic would suggest she died between 1851 (When she is in Cheshire with her daughter), and 1861 (when she cannot be found, and her daughter is living with her aunt and uncle) ... Still, I can't see any likely marriage or death at this time.

Peter

It might be worth purchasing the marriage certificate of Jane jnr. to see if that reveals anything.

Thanks Pam, I'll look into that.
