Find Ancestors

Been try to find the surname for my 2x gt g/mother i thought i know i'll look for her using her first name and area. Yipeee i found her looked at image and they have spilt ink all over it.

Oh no!!! How frustrating for you. Is this on a census? Could you find her on another census perhaps? If her parents first names are legible, could you look for them on a later census? Liz

Liz yes its on the census. Then it gets worse she is not with her parents she was a servant. its on the 1851 by 1861 she was married

If you post the details, we can all put our thinking caps on and see if we can find a way round this one. Liz

Give us her name ... before marriage... What year was she born ? Elaine ;-)

Liz Thank you. her name was Emma b 1837 Burnham, Buckinghamshire. In the 1851 when you look at the image the person that transcribed it has put her with the family below, but theres a thick black line under have name. The image on the page before is ok so it looks like she worked for Francis Rone. Julie

Elaine you can't see her surname thats where the ink is Julie

havent they just!!-spilled the ink i mean who did she marry and when , can we do a process of elimination?

Have you NOT got her marriage cert then ? ... I assumed you HAD ! Sorry, ! Elaine ;-)

Jess she married a George Newman i have found a date yet The only marriage i found for george is in 1859 but theres no female i've put a message on jo's thread for a Bucks look up. george was from Chalfont st Peters julie

so is this the family on 1861 ?? Emma Newman abt 1837 Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England Wife Iver Buckinghamshire George Newman abt 1835 Chalfont St Peters, Buckinghamshire, England Head Iver Buckinghamshire George Newman abt 1859 Iver, Buckinghamshire, England Son Iver Buckinghamshire James Newman abt 1861 Iver, Buckinghamshire, England Son Iver Buckinghamshire

Elaine Sorry i should have said. Julie

Why am I finding an Emma MORTON b 1837 Burnham, Buckingham ....... and thats the ONLY result I'm getting .... for 1851 census.... Name: Emma Morton Age: 14 Estimated birth year: abt 1837 Relation: Servant Household: View other family members Gender: Female Where born: Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England Civil parish: New Windsor Ecclesiatical parish: St John County/Island: Berkshire Country: England

Elaine (Spain) Yes that is them I have them from 1861 and i found George in the 1851. Julie

Birth registrations for children - certificate will show mothers name NEWMAN, James Record Type: Births Quarter: June Year: 1861 District: Eton County: Buckinghamshire Volume: 3a Page: 365 NEWMAN, George Record Type: Births Quarter: March Year: 1859 District: Eton County: Buckinghamshire Volume: 3a Page: 373

The Emma ??? on 1851 is 15 yrs old ... b 1836 Burnham ....... which means she COULD have been born 1835 or 1836. Is her year of birth always consistant through the later census's being born in 1836 OR 1837 .... it will make a difference ... The son's BIRTH cert will give you Mum's maiden name. Births Jun 1861 NEWMAN James Eton 3a 365

Elaine DD You are a star i can't thank you enough i will go and do some census digging. Many thanks Julie. Eliane (Spain) George and James had a sister Elizabeth my gt g/mother there were 2 Elizabeths born same time wasn't sure which 1 was mine have not long worked out that the 2 were cousins. Many thanks Julie

Elaine Emma Morton married mr Twogood View Record Morton, Emma 1867 March Marriages Eton Buckinghamshire View Record Twogood, William 1867 March Marriages Eton Buckinghamshire

DD Yes it has but mostly its been 1837 but she always said she was born in Burnham. Julie

Have added details for son James's birth cert ....above .. Eton covers Ivor district........ When was your G gran Elizabeth born ? Cheers Jess ! that eliminates her then ! I thought it was .... too good ... to be true !! (sorry !) Liz is right though .... too many Emma's born in Burnham 1837 to waste time on 1 image. Child's Birth cert is best - you may get wrong marriage cert first...
