Where are you Rebecca Williams?
Tweet
I've been looking for many years for great grandmother Rebecca Williams, born 1853 Wolverhampton, who had my gran in 1896 in Shrewsbury, according to family legend Rebecca 'died' soon after, but can't find her.
Also my gran's cousin, John Ralph Henry Lin, born 1884 Manchester, emigrated to New York, USA, found some details but no heirs, also my gran's other cousin Alexander Lin born 1886 at sea, who disappeared after 1901 England census.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,
What are the details of John Ralph Henry Lin you have found? Is his birth date March 6?
Thanks,
Lisa
What was your gran's name ? Was Rebecca Williams her maiden name or married name?

Hello joyrush!
How do you know that your Great Gran, Rebecca Williams, was born in 1853, Wolverhampton? Have you got documents to show this?
Your Gran was born 1896, Shrewsbury - have you docs to show this?
A few questions!
Have you found your Gran on the 1901 or 1911 cencus? If you tell us her name we may be able to find her and that would be a great start, I think.
Do you know your Great Grandad's name?
Have you got your Gran's marriage certificate? This will show her Father's name and occupation. This will make it easier to trace her on the 1901 cencus.
If it was me, I would start by obtaining her marriage cerificate and then trying to find your Gran on the 1901 and 1911 cencus. This will enable you to find her on the cencus and hopefully her father's dob.
Then you could look for a marriage for your Gran's parents plus her birth.

Hello Joyrush!
I wonder if it would be a good idea for you to split your requests into two separate threads? One for your Great Gran ie WILLIAMS and one for her cousin ie LIN?
This would make it easier for the Forum to research and also make it easier for you to follow the replies.
