Also, just looked in the SA phone book for the name Glastonbury, and there are only 2 people listed with that name!!

Looks like Hannah Eliza Glastonbury died in 1946 in SA. It says 'surviving spouse is Thomas Glastonbury (Even though they divorced in 1931)

Frederick Glastonbury and ElsieHester Mann's children were Edna May and Elizabeth.

I think her parents are William Thomas Glastonbury and Hannah Eliza Turner. They were in South Africa and it looks like they divorced in 1930/1. Elsie travels back and forth from here to SA between 1910 and 1927. I dont have a record of her coming back but I know she was alive in the 70s.

Getting info from SA is like running through treacle so it could take some time to unearth anything more.

Fingers crossed!

Thanks everyone. Have ordered the certificate although I think its likely they lived in Bristol. Most of my reles lived in Bristol but had their births registered in Keynsham so not sure that makes a great deal of difference.

I think they went to South Africa in 1927 anyway.

Thanks again
Amy

I think you are making a big jump in years.
Ivor was not born in Fishponds.

The cert. will confirm. parents

This chap lives in Forest Road in 1901. Look him up on ancestry and then you can look through the images for the road. The houses don't seem to be numbered, it is the families which are

FLOOK, John Head Married M 78 1823 Stone Cutter (Quarry)
born Mangotsfield
Gloucestershire

Have you looked on the 1911 census for her, which is pay to view?

You can search by address on FindmyPast.

Hi,

I'm sure I've asked this before but I can't find the thread so I hope you dont mind me asking again.

I have an Elsie Glastonbury emigrating to South Africa in 1927 with Ivor Reginald Glastonbury. She is down as living at 14 Forest Road, Fishponds, Bristol.

Is there any way I can search for this address on the 1901 census in the hope that this leads me to her relatives? I'm sure I've done this before on Ancestry but its all changed round since and I cant for the life of me get it to work!

I'd appreciate it if anyone can offer any help.

Thanks
Amy
