Yesterday, I wrote about Mary Ann Snelgrove Hedley. Emily was her sister. Emily married John Griffiths on 14 Nov 1875 at St James, Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England. On the 1881 census they were listed as having three children: John age 4, Alice age 2, and William age 6 months. The 1891 census only listed 4 children,… Continue reading Emily Snelgrove Griffiths

Mary Ann Snelgrove Hedley
Mary Ann was born 7 Sep and christened 1 Oct 1847 in Frome, Somerset, England, the eldest child of Edward Snelgrove and Mary Ann Whimpey (Mary was the daughter of my 3x great grandparents William Whimpey and Elizabeth Clements)[1]. I have not yet found Mary on the 1851 census. In 1851 her father Edward was… Continue reading Mary Ann Snelgrove Hedley
Muriel Annie Holt
I didn’t have any information for her except her birth entry, and she was listed as being 52 years old at the time of her mother’s death in 1962. I decided to check The Ryerson Index again (quicker than going through my notes) for a death notice for her mother, and found there was a… Continue reading Muriel Annie Holt
Who were the parents of Emily Levenia Lilley?
The death entry for Emily Levenia Marr, nee Lilley, listed her parents as John Lilley and Jane Munday, and that she was born about 1894 in North Melbourne. I couldn’t find a birth for any children for this couple or a marriage for them in Victoria. I did find a birth entry for Emily Lilley,… Continue reading Who were the parents of Emily Levenia Lilley?

Finding Sarah Taylor (nee Mills) on the 1871 and 1891 censuses

The surname Taylor is a fairly common one, (as are most surnames that are occupational surnames), which is one of the… Continue reading Finding Sarah Taylor (nee Mills) on the 1871 and 1891 censuses
Latest research – Jane Gill
I have been working through the siblings of my 2x great grandparents, and I was working on John Gill, the brother of my 2x great grandmother Mary Gill. His probate files were on Ancestry, so I was quickly reading through the pages, as I was downloading the images, and saw the mention of Thomas Williams… Continue reading Latest research – Jane Gill
Henry Edward Russell
As part of my genealogy do-over, I have been researching my ancestors and their siblings, and mainly using Ancestry, so that I can do as much research as possible before my subscription expires at the end of July. In researching my 3x great uncle John William Russell, I found his death notice I already had… Continue reading Henry Edward Russell
Sarah Eliza Prout
Ancestry recently released the Church of England parish registers from Jersey, Channel Islands. My 2x great grandfather’s sister went to the Channel Islands, so I have been searching the parish registers, as well as checking the census records, for her family. I have already set up 3 posts about the family: The Prout family of… Continue reading Sarah Eliza Prout
Fanny Prout
The census records had shown that Thomas Prout and Elizabeth Clement Whimpey had a daughter Fanny, born about 1863. I hadn’t found her baptism when I found the baptisms for the rest of the family, so I tried searching for a Fanny, born in 1863, in St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands. Her entry had been… Continue reading Fanny Prout
