Hi Deb,

Can you let us know what your G/Grandmothers name was and any names of the siblings with possible dates relevant to your search request, in order for members to assist you. It's quite possible that the cencus returns can be checked out with the info you provide.



Nanna

Hi Deb



After our conversation in chat room last night I have found a couple of things!



Your Grt Nan...Florence Gertrude JONES



birth: Jun Qtr 1888 Melksham Vol 5a Page 110





Marriage: Florence Gerturde JONES & William Herbert IVIN



Mar Qtr 1914 Melksham Vol 5a Page 163



Death Registration:

Florence G IVIN - Age 76 - Mar Qtr 1965 Trowbridge Vol 7c Page 708



Williams' birth could possibly be:



William Herbert IVIN Mar QTr 1894 Melksham Vol 5a Page 113



Although you mentioned that she wsa age 23 at her marriage...I think she may not have been telling the truth! Or the person that has given u the info was mis-informed!



I think the best way forward is to purchase the marriage certificate to confirm her age and her Father



and also the birth certificate to confirm both parents.....I cannot find her on the 1891 or 1901 census with Joseph as a father



Good luck with your research......keep us informed of your results



Take care



Loz

P.S. There is a birth registered in Melksham Dec 1907 for a Gertrude May JONES.......possibly her illigitimate daughter?

Hi



thank you for the info thats very helpful i think i will order the certificates as i have been given other info now which says something different, with what you have found sounds better than what i got, i will keep you updated.
