I have a copy of my tree, drawn up by my late Mother. Her Grandmother was Jane Pape, nee Conner. The family came from Kilnsea, in East Yorkshire.

I think Jane's dob would be about 1832. Her siblings were:

George Conner, who married Mary Gibson
Jenny Conner, who married Edward Stamford
Will Conner, who married Addy Tipllady.
John Conner,
George Conner (?)
Hannah Mary Conner,
Arthur Conner, married Louie Tong

I have particular interest in Will Conner's family.
His children were Arthur who married Jessie Clappison
Elsie
Ida
Aggie.

If anyone can help me to unravel this tree, I would be most grateful. At present I do not have a sub for a*****y, otherwise, the task might be easier.

Jane was born about 1832 you said, not 1849?

Angelsong

Angelsong Report 11 Feb 2011 17:22

Sorry Chrissie, Jane was born 1849. She had a sister in law Jane, and I mistakenly used her dob instead.

You need Jane's marriage certificate to learn her father's name

I don't see the family in the 1841 census or anyone in 1851 shown as born in Kilnsea

do you know what other place name might have been given as birthplace ?

forgiev me Ann of green gables but I posted the _entire_ household in the 1851 census above your post about William Connor ..................

AnnCardiff

AnnCardiff Report 11 Feb 2011 17:46

happens sometimes - more often if you have the posting open whilst you search you are unaware of other postings - hardly a criminal offence now is it

Shirley just happens to have done the same

Wow! Chrissie!
"Ignorant nasty unfounded accusations"???
That was uncalled for.

AnnCardiff

AnnCardiff Report 11 Feb 2011 18:06

we all know by now that this poster just likes bringing unpleasantness into threads - we all get on fine and we are not a posse - we do not criticise each other's postings - if someone posts twice it's not the end of the world

can't you see that you are the one who initiates all this backbiting?

Angelsong

Angelsong Report 11 Feb 2011 18:11

Well I didn't expect all this controversy when I put my request on. I thank all of you who have replied.

Conner seems to change to Connor in some instances.
