I am trying to find out if their is any family left of the Cove family,they were family to my late mothers.Her grandmothers name was Annie Carey and she had a few children,14 in all and they lived in Battersea London.
There is also a person to the family she was called Polly,she came from Lancashire,and she had a daughter called Alice. This is all i know about the Cove family,my late mother was not to sure about them has she only saw them has a young teenager in the 1960s.

Sorry, but I do not understand the connection between the Cove family and Annie Carey.
Who had 14 children - your Mother's grandmother, or someone else? A few vague dates would help.
I think we need a little more information to try and help you.

Pm received:
Sorry that my message was not to clear for anyone to understand,unfortunatly i am new to this site it was my late father that was a member and i was helping him.
My late mothers grandmothers maiden name was Carey,and she married a Cove in the 1900s but we were unable to clarify this or find out if they were ever married or not...?
No one knew anything about her family and or where she was born or when.She was very secretive person,so my mother never asked about her grandmothers past.
This all i know so it's a little bit vague and it's been bugging my parents a long time,so i would like to find out if anyone could find out for me...?

When and where did Annie die?
What was her husband's name?
Have you got your Mother's birth certificate, and her parents' marriage certificate etc etc to track them back?
Thanks

Can you give us a clearer idea of dates............

When did Annie die?

When was the birth of whichever of her children was your mother's parent? And what was his/her name?

Under what name was Annie's death registered?

Have you done any research on freebmd?

And please respond on here.......use the large white box below, entitled 'add your reply'.......thank you

Hi Robin

Just been on the 1911 census and there are loads of Annie Carey's and Annie Cove's living in Battersea but born elsewhere
We need more info
Do you have any idea of dob
Do you have any idea of date of marriage even year or round about
Do you know when she died how old she was and where
