i know who inherited I have paperwork regarding the division of Beatrices estate in 1981 ( although she died in 1971).

Clara Mitchell's Children were given a 469th or so share of the estate . So I know there must be a connection somewhere along the line Due to the inhereitence laws only 1st cousins/removed can benefit, therefor Clara and Beatrice have to be 1st cousins..

Claras children, Eva, Elsie, Gladys and Phyllis were all born in Glasshoughton West yorkshire and lived in area all their lives.

Maureen - the !st one is coorect where Clara Mitchell (born Ilkston Derbyshire) married Charles Poskitt and was her only husband and her father is a Joseph Mitchell 1849 Kimbolton I believe.

don't understand the 1871 cencus, yes it is Beatrice's mother but how does this link to the 1891 cencus exactly? or link to clara mitchell 1884?

Vicky

Vicky Report 3 Sep 2011 08:16

Maureen - After having a good look and using google maps to decifer what the census's were saying, I can see the connection!!!!

It doesn't make it easy when sometimes the birthplaces change on cencus's thats why I use google to see the distances between, if you can understand that?

Thank you ever so much for tracking down the link, it looked like I was getting myself into a right muddle, if these records were rope I would have tied myself up 10 times over. I can now start working on this line and finding all the other 465 heirs, ha ha!!


Thanks again

Ouch,Mel-the "h" word!

Vicky-I think I'm happier than you are. Almost did cartwheels around the computer. "Almost" being the key word in that sentence.
