Hi

My name is Natasha and I put a notice on here last night in regards to some help finding my great grandmother Louisa Rackett born 17December 1898. For some reason my notice has gone and all the info I recieved has gone so I was hoping someone could help we with my search again.
All I know is that she was married to a James Hiscock and she died 5 April 1985 I have no info on James Hiscock Ive looked in the census for them both in 1901 and have found nothing please help me im getting rather frustrated now

Thanx Natasha

I was about to post a reply on your thread last night when I got the same message as Ann - "This thread does not exist". I think it must have been a glitch as I thought you had deleted the thread just as I was about to post.

I think infact Edward Rackett was Edwin born 1877 to Edwin Rackett born 1850 Newport Isle of White and mary matilda 1849 isle of White.

Often the name Edward and Edwin were one in the same.

1891 St Marys D 31 > 25
58,Craven street

Edwin Rackett 1850

Matilda 1849
Edwin 1877

No sign of Edward/Edwin 1901 or 1911 maybe he was at sea also.

Hi Mike

Thanx for the help .
You say you could only find a birth record for Louisa for march 1898 and that she cant have been born in December. I have found her birth record on genesreunited and her death record confirms her dob as December where did you get your info from. I would like to check it out for other info what I cant find on genes.

Thanx Natasha

This is the only birth on freebmd for Louisa M Rackett between 1895 and 1900 ( the only other is for Louisa Florence in 1895)


Births Mar 1898
RACKETT Louisa Matilda - Southampton 2c 6


Registered in the March quarter of 1898 ...she may have been born December 1897 and registered in the new year but can't have been born Dec 1898.

Her death says she was born Dec 1897 so the mar 1898 birth is correct
