Find Ancestors

but does anyone have a couple of spare credits? Mine have run out, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I seem to be buying packages constantly. Can't buy any more til next month but need to find info on my great grandmother, Gentina Roberts, born 17/03/1875. What was her mothers maiden name? Also Clifford William Marriott born 25/04/1924, what was his mothers maiden name? Thankyou very much!!

have you found them in the census to narrow down their birth places a bit? I cant find a birth on Ancestry for that name anywhere! or in the 1881 census When did Cliffords mother and father marry? jess

No but Gentina married a man called Percy Price and they lived in South Wales, where he was born.

Hi, certain of her forename, as theres a living relative who remembers her. Can't work out why she wouldnt be on census... Thankyou though.

sorry cant find a 'Gentina' anywhere any how - how was this name pronounced Jen-tina or jen- ee-sha? or some other way? what relation was she to your grandmother? Jess

My grandmother told me the birth date and her name, also that she married Percy Price, though no-one's sure when.

when did they marry? Sorry you were posting as I was typing. Do you have any idea of Percy's DOB? Beth :)

They had a daughter called Violet born 7/8/1924, born S.Wales, maybe Bridgend.

Pronounced 'Jen-teena' apparently, very unusual I think. We're not a foreigh family though. Gentina was my great gran (my dads mums mum).

Violet can't have been her only child - at the age of 49?

No-one knows when they married, someone's tried to find the cert and can't!! Odd. I dont know Percy's DOB, although I'd imagine he wasnt much different in age to Gentina. She was born 1875.

That was my thought, Violet cant have been her only child. Unfortunately my dad doesn't know anything of his aunts/uncles if they existed.

basically you need to clarify some facts, by perhaps even starting as recently as your own father. Where was he born - prob has his own birth cert. Will give his mothers maiden name.then find her birth cert, which will give her mothers name and maiden name Seems word of mouth isn't hanging together for you, so dont see as there is any other way jess

Thanks everyone, thanks Sarah. :)

Hi Could Gentina be her middle name which she used as her main name? A few in my family have been using there middle names on census's etc . I'm sure they did it on purpose to confuse us Lol . Julie

Even if Gentina was a middle name, it should still be picked up in the Ancestry civil reg. index. nell

Thanks Alan and Tilda; very much appreciated!!

Thanks Julie and Helen. Hadn't thought of it being a middle name, so thats a possibility!
