Thread: Mead in Madras

I'm looking for my gggg grandmother Henrietta. She was born in Madras butI have no record of her maiden name.



She married William Mead and appears with him on the 1881 and 1901 census in Middlesex. William was born around 1836 in Hertfordshire.



If anyone can find any further info on her i'd be very grateful



Thanks



Kat

Hi Kat,

Sept qrt 1875 William Mead to either Annie Clarke or Henrietta Beal.

Also this 1871 census record. Henrietta is an adopted child, and a naturalised British citizen.

thank you so much for your help.



There can't of been two Henriettas from overseas with the same birth year in Middlesex so it must be her. One of them has put the wrong place of birth down. We have always thought there was indian in the family so i'm guessing the Singapore one is incorrect.



I've done a search on family trees on genes reunited and found someone does have a Henrietta Beal as being born in Madras on their tree. Hopefully they are still active on the site.
