Hi I am trying to do as much research as poss. myself. But I am not finding it easy!


I have the marriage of William King Richardson to Annie Marie Towcester in 1877 but why can I only find their daughter in one census 1891, she was 13 born Greens Norton, Northants.

In the 1901 census she is not there, is she dead or married?

Thanks for any help
Jo

For queries like this one,

www.freebmd.org.uk

is your friend. You can use it for births marriages and deaths in England and Wales from 1837 to c1950.

Its free to use and you can narrow searches to a county of area and to any range of years.

Andy


EDIT There is a likely looking marriage for her in 1899 in and a matching entry in 1901 and 1911 census. Looks like five children. Her death in 1954.

I am really grateful for all the info!

I am having not a bit of joy using www.freebmd.org.uk

everyone keeps on suggesting it, but I have found nothing. I must be adding info wrong.

If I wanted to know Annie Marie Richardson parents.

In www.freebmd.org.uk

I would add her Christian name then what? sounds simple but I as I say and not having any luck, I cannot add her maiden name as I am trying to find her parents?

Have you found Anne Marie Towcester with her parents in 1861 or 1871?

Free bmd will not find them without more searching unless you have very unusual surnames.

She is related to her parents by her maiden name, not her married name.

Added:
You mean Towcester was the district, NOT her maiden name???

Every one seems to be singing from the same book, so I hope this info. is correct.
Thank you.

I think the district is Towcester.
