Find Ancestors

Not at the moment, thanks. This rounds off everything except Elizabeth's maiden name, which I should get this week when her marriage cert arrives!! Next plan will be to start building the family through the next hundred years - but that will be neither quick nor cheap - I just wish I could find one member of the family that was researching - I now have them all from the original Thomas Nurse in 1704 to 1901, except for one who married and went to South Africa where I haven't yet traced her. Thanks again Peter in NZ

Thanks Lesley - that's her with her parents!!!! Peter

The missing Sarah Nurse is in the 1901 census as Sarah Nur..(I did a search on Sarah NUR* and she came at the top of the list!!!!) Would someone be kind enough to look it up and give me the address and the household Thanks for all the help with this oone Peter

Peter I have looked at all the Sarah Nurse marriages between 1891-1901 and tried every male surname with Sarah born Essex 1867+/- 2 years and nothing obvious is showing up sorry. Cant seem to find a death either. Georgina.

Bu**er George Langmead married Sarah SMITH Dec 1901 so that one's ruled out

Thanks Georgina - have pm'd you with address. London one looks like the best bet - Brightlingsea one is out for sure and yorks is last resort. My other option is to search deaths from 1891 to 1901 and make sure nothing nasty has happened to her - will do that B4 going for marriage cert - once I find the marriage

Peter I think this is what you need, if you send me an email addy I will send you the images..

can we find Sarah Langmead 35 b brightlingsea, Sarah Watcham 35 b brightlingsea and Sarah Cooper 32 b Brightlingsea with their families in 1901 so I can track marriages, get certs and see if any of them fit - they are the only Sarah's that fit (barring mis-transcriptons) Peter

Looks very likely, doesn't it - especially with the transcription errors.....at least they are both born in the right place and the Nurse family are basically fishermen so there is a seagoing link...except of course Frederick the Baker (and his name is really Lewis, Fred is his middle name....) Right - gold star for finding Annie goes to the States - who gets the star for Sarah?? Peter Having fun here today!!

Possibly Annie?? Only problem husband is not with her in 1901.

Next question - are Annie and Sarah still around in 1901?? Peter

No married into the Ekins from Worksop, nottinghamshire for my sins!!

Thanks Linda - that solves that!! btw - your Ekin name is interesting - no relation to the Shropshire Ikins is there? (Ekin is one of the spelling variations) Peter

There is a John J Ellison married to a Frances M living in Streatham in 1901

Ok - have found marriage on BMD for Walter John ANNIS Sept 1891 Westminster to either Frances Matilda GILLMOR or Blanche Emma LEADBETTER. Trouble is I can't find a death fr either Frances Annis or Blanche Annis - any ideas? Other male in 1891 marriages is John J J Ellison - is there a Blanche or Florence Ellison with appropriate husband in 1901 which would narrow the search?

here is his death NURSE, Frederick Record Type: Deaths Age at death: 46 Quarter: March Year: 1888 District: Tendring County: Essex Volume: 4a Page: 313 (click to see others on page)

Thanks team - I think I need Roberts bc to see who the mother is, but my immediate priority is to identify Frederick's wife Elizabeth - but at least I have found his marriage!! Peter

adds a 'double meaning to a morning roll...!! Lol jess x
