Hi All

So frustrating. I have found the listings for his siblings in BMD... some of which his surviving brother knew nothing about. All are shown as being born in Medway Kent. Parents marriage also took place in kent and listed in the 1901 cencus as being in Kent although the surname was misspealt as Connelly. Has anyone any ideas of where I can go from here please. x

Hi Huck..

could this be your Robert Conelly you are looking for...

Robert George T Conelly Year of Registration: 1899 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Medway (1837-1941) County: Kent Volume: 2a Page: 624

I can't see a Robert W Conelly born 1899 this is the only one I can see.. Is this the family on the 1901 Census??

Hi Raven

You're right with the census but Robert George T was a member of another family living in the same area.
The spelling of all Robert W's family are correct on birth certificates as Conelly apart from the census. A problem I still have now. I think it relates to the part of Ireland they originated from.
Do you have any further ideas?

HI Huck,

I have tried in Freebmd and on Ancestry using different combinations of wildcards... but I am afraid the only one I keep coming back to is the one I found. Sorry...

Huck · 25-08-2008, 05:18 PM

Thanks anyway. Same problem that I've had. Stuck now!

You might try the local registry office - just occasionally they have a record which for some reason hasn't made its way on to the national indexes
