16. The Workhouse
Hi Rodney,
I’m happy to review Workhouses – looks interesting. I am
not aware of any of my family finishing up there, although
my mother was known to remark that my brother and I
would cause her to do just that.
Regards,
Tony Sadler
• Watch this space for later in the summer

20. Daphne’s dilemma
• I have been looking at Elizabeth Vincent
• Details are as follows
• Born in Netherhampton in 1836
• Found in 1841 and 1851 census (all OK so far)
• I checked on another tree because I couldn't find her in
1861.
• There was another tree in ancestory which she was on, this
tree stated that she married Henry Hibberd in 1860.
• On this tree she subsequently had three children Henry
1861 Sarah 1863 and Ernest 1865.
•
• I checked and could find no evidence or any Marriage for her
•
21. Daphne’s dilemma
• I later found her in 1861 living with her brother George.
• This makes me think there must have been two Elizabeth
Vincents.
• My question is, if there is no record of any marriage on
record could there be records somwhere else?
• Can I check to find if there were two Elizabeths.
• This makes me also realise that it is no good just taking
someone else's tree to be correct everything needs to be
double checked.
• Incidentally, I found Ernest Vincent living with his uncle in
1891.
22. Keith’s dilemma
• I have a cousin living in Australia who has recently been
contacted by somebody over their who believes that they
are related. Knowing of my interest in the subject my cousin
mentioned it to me last week. All we know is that the family
in Australia are Norton-Bakers and that the relationship is
most likely on the Akers/Sadler side of my family (so might
also be of interest to Tony!).
• My Dad's youngs brother's middle name was Brisbane and
the family lore was that he got that in honour of friends
living there, but I now wonder if it was actually family.
• I have never explored the possibility of overseas relatives
and I'm not sure where to start
23. Lost Cousins question......
On 13th May 1880, at All Saints Church in the
parish of St Mary, Haggerston, Gifford Few -
a builder aged 24 - married Emily Taylor aged
23.
The groom's father was shown as William
Few, gentleman, the bride's as George
Taylor, a builder.
24. Lost Cousins question......
• Your challenge is to find the happy couple on
the 1881 Census, which was taken less than a
year later, and convince me that you've
found the right census entry.
• How would you find the answer?
