Find Ancestors

She might not have married after Charles. Just used MacFarlane as her name. My GGGrandmother did just that.

Still searching and have got no further, can anyone help me anymore? I know its a lot to ask and i am very grateful.

God, i could scream, this is driving me mad!!!!!!

1881 she was Hanby. 1882 she married Charles Robertson, and by 1891 she was McFarlane - or however its spelt!!!!

81 she was Hanby when does she appear as Mcfarlane - 1891 or 1901?

Ok. Well i emailed the Tees Valley indexes site. I asked them if the mother of ELIZABET MCFARLANE was Frances, they confirmed it was, i then asked if her maiden name was Sawkill, they confirmed that it was! So it looks like they are the same people, but now i can't find a marriage of a Frances/Francis to a McFarlane! I'm stuck again as coz she seems to have been married so many times i just don't know where to turn!!

Thanks for all your help. I emailed the tees valley site and asked if Frances as the name of the EMILY HANBY and it turns out she was not. Going to keep searching for more tonight though x

Was wondering were Emily was on 1881 census and found this. Samuel WEST Head M Male 84 Friston, Suffolk, Market Gardiner Sarah WEST Wife M Female 60 Farnham, Suffolk Sarah E. HANBY Dr In Law M Female 31 Barnaby, York, Mary HANBY Gd Daur U Female 7 Hartlepool, Durham, Scholar John Wm. HANBY Gd Son U Male 4 Hartlepool, Durham, ******* Emily HANBY Gd Daur Female 1 Hartlepool, Durham, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Information: Dwelling Cox Wells Census Place Leiston, Suffolk, England Family History Library Film 1341456 Public Records Office Reference RG11 Piece / Folio 1890 / 122 Page Number 28 Also it looks like James Hanby died 1878 in Stokesley age 27, so Emily born 1880 can't be his child.

Possibly Henry's marriage. 1899 CLAXTON EDITH MA M-36-002-0-0276 Middlesbrough 1899 HANBY HARRY M-36-002-0-0276 Middlesbrough Elaine

Wow, i can't believe you found an emily Hanby, i'm shocked, looks ike it could be the right one after all then!!!!!

Well she married Charles Robertson but i can't find them together in the 1891 census and then i found the Francis Macfarlan, with a son Henry which is right and being born in Stokesley in the right year! All just adds up! She obviously liked weddings!!!!!

1901 not a clue !lost the plot i hope she had all these husbands well insured!!think of the life insurance!! 1891 She is Robertson...we think....or is she Mc F by then?

Thanks, its a real mystery isn't it!

Sorry, to be honest i thought i was clutching at straws so thought i'd see if anyone could find an info on the names incase i'd got mixed up. Sorry again x

I think the only way we're gonna find out who the bloke is, is if you get the birth cert for Elizabeth. She will definitely be his (well, probably lol) Might be your only way to find it. I can't find anything else.

Kinda wish you'd have said that at the outset Hayley - would have helped no end!

Your right, that marriage probably was hers but She married in 1864 to a man named steel, married in 1873ish to a man named Hanby, married in 1882 to a man named Roberston and so could possibly have married again to the man name Macfarlane
