Find Ancestors

Hi Zoe and June, Thank you so much Yes, I have most of the census refs etc for this family. Spot on -your 1901 Census details show the 'right' Charles. On his marriage cert he was a Grocer and the Aunt he was living with would have been an Annie Bray, not Percy. ( A Charlotte Bray born 1824 was his Father Henry's MIL..) It seems I can go backwards to about 1700 with Grandad Charles but not forwards to find out when his daughter Josie was born and died! Same old story isn't it, wish I'd paid more attention when I was young, never thought I'd be scratching about like an old chicken when I got to my dotage,lol Many thanks, Cherry

If Josie was born after 1910 she won't be on Freebmd so you'd have to look through the GRO birth indexes. Ditto to find her death. nell

Hi do you have all the census and marriage and birth refs for this family? Zoe

Thank you so much everyone. My Grandparents were: Charles Henry Hallett born 1875 Lewes, Sussex Priscilla Gertrude Reed born 1881 Brighton, Sussex married St Nicholas Brighton 1902. I don't think my 'Josie' could have been Anita Josephine and sadly none of those names have a familiar ring Chas and Priscilla remained in and around the Brighton/Portslade area all their lives. Cherry

Cherry what were your Grandparents names? Georgina.

who is on 1901 census with: Anita J Hallett abt 1900 Brighton, Sussex, England Daughter Brighton Sussex Emile B Hallett abt 1898 Brighton, Sussex, England Son Brighton Sussex Emile D Hallett abt 1872 Ottery St Mary, Devon, England Head Brighton Sussex Louie Hallett abt 1876 Reading, Berkshire, England Wife Brighton Sussex

Found this ref. looks a possible. Name: Hallett, Anita Josephine Record Type: Births Quarter: December Year: 1899 District: Brighton County: Sussex East Sussex Volume: 2b Page: 236 (

My Mum, Bertha Mabel Hallett born 1912 had a sister Josie (possibly Josephine/Johanna/Joan?) who died of a hole in the heart when only 13. I've always assumed that Josie was the youngest sibling as both my Mum and Aunt referred to her as 'Little Josie' but of course this may have been because of her fraility, not her age. The other siblings were: Lawrence Charles Hallett born 1902 Constance Mima Hallett born 1904 Thomas Henry Hallett born 1907 All of the above siblings were born in Brighton, Sussex . By ( if not before) 1912 - I believe the family had moved to Portslade by Sea. Mum's birth was reg in the district of Steyning - sub district Preston, which would bear this out. I'd love to be able to record Josie's birth and death in my family tree and would so much appreciate any help. Thank you Cherry
