Hi all, i wondered if somone may be able to come up with any ideas on how to find if this Henry Plummer is my Henry plummer and whether my theory is way off! |

Just wondering, could she have anglicised her name to Caroline? Or perhaps when the census forms were being transcribed by an official, they couldn't make out the name "Conchita" and so thought it looked more like "Caroline" than anything else and wrote that down? |

i was thinking along those lines but she is back to concha again in 1911. and my great aunt was given conchieta not caroline. It's a good theory though i will certainly keep it in mind. thank you. :) |

The alternative I just thought of is, Conchita probably wasn't a very common name at that time so the enumerator possibly put down their best guess. Also I think the images we see aren't actually the ones filled in by the householder - they filled a copy in then an enumerator copied it onto a larger sheet, which is the image we see on Ancestry, so it would be easy to make a mistake. |

ooh thank you julie i didn't even know Concha was a name in it's own right. i'm going to start looking for her death i think. i'm under the impression she was alive in 1920 when my g grandparents got married because my ggrandfather worte a letter which mentions an aunt plummer and he says he was staying with her. i have the address and its the same as where he was living when they married. would i have to write to the local studies library for that area for an electoral roll for that early do you know? |
