Christine
Official adoption didn't start till 1927 so any before then would be a private arrangement between the parties. More like long term fostering but the child would be considered as family

How old was William on the marriage cert .have you loacated him on earlier census

There must be a reason why Lucy went to live with other family
Have you looked for a death for William

Dea

Dea Report 1 Jun 2017 08:24

There was no 'official' adoption before about 1927 so this would have been an unofficial adoption - no papers etc.

Was there an occupation for William on that marriage cert please?

Do we know anything else about him - age etc ?

Thanks Dea

So if Joseph is her uncle he should be brother to William.

Looks like Joseph remarried after Jane to a Sarah

This line is getting complicated

Do you know if there would adoption records ?

Good morning all

I am trying to trace Lucy Hannah Flear's family I have her birth cert born 9th Jan 1874 in Lincoln Lincs her parents are William Flear and Hannah Lawrence

Her mother died in 1878 when Lucy was about 4y old.

On her marriage cert to James Neal 12th Sept 1908 father William

My problem is

1) What happened to her after the death of her mother in 1878.

2) What happened to William did he marry again.

She had one daughter Elsie May Neal (my mother in law)

There are several trees on Ancestry but they all have her father as Joseph a milkman

Thankyou Christine
