Could someone please do a look up for this lady? I'd like to know who else is in the house with her. Many thanks Annie

Birth reg'n.......... Name: Priscilla Sandy Year of Registration: 1868 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun DISTRICT: Henstead County: Norfolk Volume: 4b Page: 181 Can't see her on census...........yet! Reg

Reggie, Very many thanks ... I'll sit tight! Regs Annie

sorry can't see her jeanette

I cant see her - def in Norfolk? didnt die before 1871?

Heather, Nope, she didn't expire ... well, not immediately ...she married in 1886 in Norwich. Annie

Heather, No, I haven't got the cert - I'm hoping we might find her 'en famille' in 1871, thus solving the riddle. Regs Annie

And you have her fathers name from the cert?

The only clue I have is that her birth was registered in Henstead RD which takes in Shotesham - where I know some family members set up camp and had loads of children and grandchildren. Regs Annie

I think this is your lady. Mother married John Shingles after Priscilla's birth. 1871.

Name: Priscilla Shingles Age: 3 Estimated birth year: abt 1868 Relation: Daughter Father's name: John Mother's name: Priscilla Gender: Female Where born: Bixley Civil parish: Bixley Ecclesiastical parish: Norwich Town: Bixley County/Island: Norfolk Country: England Registration district: Henstead Sub-registration district: Henstead ED, institution, or vessel: 8 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 71 Household Members: Name Age Emma Shingles 13 John Shingles 23 Priscilla Shingles 20 Priscilla Shingles 3 Source Citation: Class: RG10; Piece: 1827; Folio: 101; Page: 12; GSU roll: 830843. On the image Emma is listed first although Priscilla is said to be daughter. Could be that she isn't John's daughter

So looks like Priscilla may possibly be illegitimate?

Fiona, You should have been a detective - I'd NEVER have worked that lot out! Thank you so much for your huge efforts! Her age on the 1881 Census firmly places her as the granddaughter of Robert & Eliza SANDY. Mystery solved, well, pending confirmation by certificates .... Heather & Reg - many thanks for coming on the voyage, it was most kind of you to take up the challenge. Kind regards to all Annie
