Find Ancestors

Many thanks for everybody who took the time to reply and look up details. I have been looking for the mother of Elizabeth,Catherine and Edward for thirty years,one Annie Manning who married Edward Hitchcock in 1891.She was born anytime between 1867 and 1875,she gave a different age on various documents

.My only question was to find out if any of my "cousins" were out there!

Alan is a newby by the looks of things.

Time for some feedback from Alan.
Do we have the right family?
Who did your Edward marry?
Do you have the marriage certificate to get father's name?
Was your Edward's middle name John?

This couple had three children baptised the same day.

Mary Ann states she's been married 2 years and has 3 children born to this marriage. Someone is telling Porkies!

Mary Ann might be Edwards second wife, but has declared all the children who have Edward as their father. Is highly unlikely she was physically capable of giving birth to Lizzie when she was 12.

Alan - if you are looking for living relatives use the 'Search all member Trees' - top right of the page under 'Search'.

If anyone lists Edward, send them a message asking if they have any details of him or other birth family.

3 members - Robert, Susan and Sheila - all list an Edward Hitchcock b London c1900 on their trees. Send each of them a message to see if they are related & explain why you are interested

You must have got back to him through one of your parents etc so we would need some more info to try and locate his family on any census

:-)

This was my Gt Grandfather,I would be interested to hear from any relations.
