Find Ancestors

see below, thanks

Have found family on 1901 census. Took forever as it has been entered as Grey but it is Guy. Anyway, youngest child is listed as Dorothy age 4 months. Searched freebmd and ancestry and can't find a Dororthy! Have looked at image and it looks like Grotty to me, they wouldn't call their child that, surely. Please could someone look at the image and give me their opinion. The only births I have found that seem to fit are Winifred Ada Louisa Ref is RG13,piece 481,folio 14,page 19,schedule no 132 Which one do I go for? Thanks in advance Laura

What part of the country am I looking?

Sorry forgot that, Wandsworth district x

loks like dororthy to me. Big black ennumerators mark over the 'D ' but otherwise it isnt bad

Yes Grotty or Snotty!

These are the only wandsworth birth's on free BMD... Births Mar 1901 Guy Louisa Wandsworth 1d 766 Births Dec 1900 Guy Winifred Ada Wandsworth 1d 525 Georgina.

Hi Julie Yes that's the one. She is the only one left of the children I need to pin down. If it definately is Dororthy, where is her birth listing? Her brother born a year earlier was born at martins buildings and as they are still there on the census, i think she was probably born in wandsworth as well. I still like Grotty or Snotty.

hi I looked like you it does look like Grotty!!!. But I did find this birth Dorothy Eleanor V Guy 1899 Oct-Nov-Dec Wandsworth London, Surrey Germaine x whoops sorry too early

Snotty/Grotty Guy would be a great name! lol sara

I thought that, but somehow I just don't think it happened. Maybe she has got some run of the mill name, but her nickname was Grotty Guy. Two of the siblings are listed with their nicknames, it took me a while to trace those as well but they were no where near as obsure as Grotty. Mind you if they did give them unusual names it would be easier to find them, my family all seem to be called ellen, john, james, george, ethel, etc etc

hiya, right then, this will be about right, she was 4 months in 1901 cen, (taken march) which makes her birth year 1899 dec quart Name: Dorothy Eleanor V Guy Year of Registration: 1899 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Wandsworth County: London, Surrey Volume: 1d Page: 758 any money this is her julie

that is the one I found Julie but like me you got mixed up if she is 4 month on the 1901 census she would be born late 1900. Unles they have got her age wrong Germaine x

what happened to year 1900?

Hi Julie Don't want to shoot you down in flames but already found that. That is on the same qtr listing at her brother Thomas b 9/10/1899. It's just too early, and I think that Dorothy is a twin. Am resigned to either Winifred Ada or Louisa, am I missing some obvious nick name of those two that could sound like Dorothy????

i hate to put a damper on things, but have you a birth cert for thomas????? Name: Thomas Guy Year of Registration: 1899 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Wandsworth County: London, Surrey Volume: 1d Page: 715 wrong page to be classed as twins though julie

Hi Yes that is Thomas' birth index. I have his cert. I seem to remember that Dorothy Eleanor is listed in the same qtr and she is a twin with an other girl i think from memory. Nothing to d with me at all.

DUH!!!!!! eyes getting scrambled now, maybe nice glasss of red will help Julie will continue onward

Theres a Theresa Maud. 3rd quarter Wandsworth 1d page 572 Can you get Grotty out of that LOL Germaine x
