Dizzy, whos still looking...... Yes still..... | Report | 4 Jan 2008 23:42 |
I know thats what they all say but i know this is a long shot!!!!!! Today i watched a programme called Flog It, a woman was selling a sampler made by an 11 year old called Ann Jane Hughes.... it was dated 1828 and i just wondered how many Ann Jane Hughes were on the census that matched her age... no real reason i am afraid except for curiosity so will understand if no one wants to look as i appreciate many people with "real" research need help......... Regards to all Dizzy x |

If she was 11 in 1828, so born about 1817, aged 20 in 1837, could have married about that time & would have changed her name. Umm off to look at marriages - like a challenge |

Mummy not sure what to say... we will never know but it sure was a beautiful sampler!!!!!!! Diane when you put up the first list i thought oh wow this sure is spooky, the first on the list was one born in Farnham Royal which is about a 15 minute drive from where i live, how weird would that have been....... |

Looks like this is a possible for 1841 given the marriage found by Mummy |

It would appear that she married William Williams (a mariner) & went on to have the following children |

I saw that too, and wondered if it were possible to trace any of her descendants. |
