Find Ancestors

Hi Everyone.

I am helping a family friend with his research.

I am stuck on..........

Emma Mary Jane Miles born (Poss 28th April) 1888 Motcombe, Dorset, England.

Births Jun 1888 (>99%)
MILES Emma Mary J Shaftesbury 5a 213

I know all about her up to the 1911 census, where she is in the Union Workhouse, Alcester, Shaftesbury Union, Dorset.

After 1911......i can't seem to find any further information about her.

Any ideas......much appreciated.

Prickles ;o))

It might be useful to link this with the thread you put on here 'for Stanley', Prickles ??

Dea x

Do you have any sightings of her daughter Winifred Mabel 1909 and Frederick 1910 after 1911?

Maryb.

I understand what you mean Dea but.........as it's just Emma i am looking for, i thought i would post a seperate thread.

Hi Mary

I know all about the daughter Winifred Mabel......I have an inkling that Frederick was adopted?

;o))

That is not her death Malyon.......I found that Emma on the 1939 Register.

Yes, I agree, a new thread is fine but it is useful to be able to refer to the other just for background info.

I appreciate that.......Thanks Dea x

Sorry visitor............back soon. x

Sorry.........back now.

I checked out the marriage that Malyon posted earlier today.

Pope Dudley D Miles Amesbury 5a 247

On the 1939 Register.......Emma M Miles was born 29 Oct 1889

That Emma re-married in 1949......

Prickly Holly, though the birthyear is one out, the Emma M marrying in Amesbury could be this one?

in 1945

I have spent another 3hrs searching.

She seems to have disappeared into thin air.

:-S

PricklyHolly I have not come up with anything for Emma, but going at it from a different angle I was looking at births after 1911 with mmn Miles in Shaftesbury ?? Very long shot that Emma went on to have other children?


Births Jun 1914 (>99%)
Miles Robert W Miles Shaftesbury 5a 364 ( on GRO is shownn MILES, ROBERT WILLIAM - Order
GRO Reference: 1914 J Quarter in SHAFTESBURY Volume 05A Page 364)

MILES, HAROLD - Order
GRO Reference: 1915 J Quarter in SHAFTESBURY Volume 05A Page 332

Births Dec 1917 (>99%)
Miles Lorna J Miles Shaftesbury 5a 267

Births Sep 1920 (>99%)
Miles Geoffrey Miles Shaftesbury 5a 377

This looks like that Lorna J in 1939, it's been amended and says Moores and then Harris in green but I think the underlying name is Miles ??

Austin, that's a shame :-( it was only a slight chance at best

Thank you so much for your time Rose and Austin.

I have been going round and round in circles.

I would have so loved to have found out what happened to her.

I will check out the info you posted Rose..........and see where that takes me.

Round and round in circles again i suspect!! :-D
