I think John and Mary Anne are probably my gt, gt gt grandparents and their daughter Mary Ann Snell(1828 -1889) is my g, gt grandmother but I just have to make the link to Florence Hetti somehow.

Wow - thank you so much!
I think there is a Margaret born to John Snell and Mary Ives in1846 - I wonder if she had a daughter Margaret?

Yvonne Report 8 Feb 2016 14:42

Please can you tell me where I can find that baptism registration Mavis? Sorry I see now it's St Mary's church - thanks again

Great thanks.
Albert is the 7th child of William James Snell (1852-1933) and Mary Ann Smeeth (1858) and brother to my Grandmother's aunt - Mary Ann Snell (1854-1929) all born in Hampton.

I wonder if Margaret is sister to William and Mary - whose mother is Mary Ann Snell (1829-1889)? Neither of them have father's on their birth certificates.

Please could someone help me find some dates for Margaret SNELL my great grandmother - mother to Florence Jetty Snell ,my grandmother born in Poplar December 1886 / baptised at St Mary's Hampton 31st May 1893.

Also any help to find information about her son John William Snell baptised at St Mary's Hampton on 20th April 1893, Thank you

Mary Report 24 Oct 2016 19:47

I think this is Margaret.

1871 Hampton D2 >2
Mary Ann Snell 62 widow boat operator
Margaret Jones 24 says daughter in law but It can't be??Should be daughter
Henry Jones grandson 1869
John Jones grandson 7 months
William Snell age 19 Grandson.

John William Jones born O/N/D 1870 Kingston SurreyV2a P 280(could this be John William Snell in 1881 with Mary Snell 1806 and Mary Ann Snell 1828 ) coincidence if it isn't
Charles Henry Jones O/N/D 1868 Kingston Surrey V2a P304 he died J/A/S 1872 buried St Mary Hampton.

John William Snell on 1939 register it says he was born 16/9/1870 so that seems to fit birth of John William Jones!!

No sign of Margaret Jones, John Jones or Charles Henry Jones in 1881.
No sign of marriage for Margaret Snell to Mr Jones.

Maybe,but nothing to back it up as yet.

1881 71 Culloden Street Bromley St Leonards D43 > 27 district Poplar
Robert Smith 1841 Stefford? Essex Dock Carpenters labourer.
Margaret smith born HAMPTON @ 1853
Robert W Smith 1875 Canning Town.
Amy A 4 Canning Town is this Annie A off 1891 census?
Margaret R 2 Canning Town.

Same couple?
1891 12,Cordelia Street D 28 > 44 Bromley St leonards
Frederick Smith born Grays Essex 1848 Carpenters labourer
Margaret Smith 1851 Homerton?
Robert 1875 assistant in paper works born Canning
Annie a 1877 Canning
Margaret 1879 Canning
Florence F? POPLAR 1886
John JONES 1871 Homerton? occupation Paper Works

Both these addresses are in the same area i.e Poplar/Canning Town postcode now E14

I can't find any of the births for the Smith children or any sign of them in 1901,could the above actually be Margaret Snell with daughter Florence 1886 and son John William Jones/Snell 1870??

Mary Report 4 Nov 2016 19:36

Found her Yvonne,thanks to the GRO publishing mums maiden name before the normal 1911.

Margaret Snell was with the Smith family as I said earlier.
She had Margaret Rosetta Smith mum nee Snell 1878 west Ham V4a P106
Annie Ada Smith nee Snell 1876 West Ham 4a 98.
Robert henry Smith 1874 West Ham V04a P57

She also had Charles Henry Jones in Kingston Surrey 1868 V2a P304 died 1872
John William Jones 1870 V2a P280

Then we have
Florence Jeanette Smith registered 1887 March Qtr in Poplar mum nee Snell V 01c P 622.

I can only find this record on GRO and not on ancestry or Free BMD.

Thankyou Yvonne, I'am so glad I didn't give up on my search.
I kept going over and over it, I'm like dog with a bone when I get a feeling about something.

Best Wishes Maryb.

Mary just to let you know I got the certificates for John William Snell/Jones and Florence Jeanette Smith - and you were correct - she is my grandmother.
The name first names fit and the dob.
So a fifteen year mystery has been solved!

My next task is to find my grandfather - the so called John Frederick Barclay, who presumably kept her and the children when she was in Hammersmith in 1911.

Thank you again for all the hard work you and the 'Community' did - without you all I would never have found her. Yvonne
