Thank you Andrew, that's an exact match on her age. Her grandaughter would have been 5, perhaps a bit young to go to the funeral?

Have been looking for a death for Arthurs wife Jane.
This is the best match I can find, Lived to a good age if it is her.

Oooops! I missed him off the 1851..........but I have added him now.

Frances Report 18 Nov 2014 11:25

John c.1839 is not showing up in 1851, when he would only be about 10. Has he been farmed out to grandparents as I can't see a suitable death in FreeBMD?

I have been putting the family into the tree and there is a gap in the children between John c.1839 and Frances c.1851. Can anybody see the family in the 1851 census please.

Many thanks,
Frances

Frances Report 18 Nov 2014 10:46

Thank you Andrew, I can't see a marriage for Thomas and Frances either. Maybe somebody caught sight of the original Parish Record. There was a time when it was possible to get into some Norfolk Parish Records and I had quite a few finds, looking through page by page!

A tree on Ancestry has Thomas Drew married to Frances Southall, BUT NO EVIDENCE to back it up.

This appears to be her Baptism, certainly right place right time.




Frances Southall

England Births and Christenings

Name: Frances Southall
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 08 May 1814
Christening Place: DILWYN,HEREFORD,ENGLAND
Father's Name: Thomas Southall
Mother's Name: Mary

Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C13877-2 , System Origin: England-ODM , GS Film number: 994226

You would need one of the childrens birth certs to confirm. I can't see a marriage for Thomas and Frances.

Thank you Andrew, I can now spend ages trying ti find parents Thomas and Frances in FamilySearch. I do wish they hadn't dispensed with IGI - I always had so much success in that back to 1580!
