Hi Sue, How on earth do you find out all this information so quickly, are you with Ancestry or any other site. I am nearly 70 yrs old and although interested in the family tree it take me a bit longer than most , but I do get there in the end. Thank you so much for all this information and I will follow it through.

Pauline.

Cheers Pauline in Granada Spain.

This could be her, her parents were born in Gloucester.

Sue C Report 8 Mar 2009 14:24

She married either Alfred Hughes or William Newbold.
You are right......marriage cert is the only way to know for sure.

Gosh Sue, you are so good at this, it looks as if you have found her marriage. I think the only way to be sure is to send for her marriage certificate, what do you think?

Did it give her new married name.

Pauline

Pauline Report 8 Mar 2009 14:14

Sue, the dates fit John was born in1844, so it does look like Eliza could have re-married or reverted to her maiden name of Follows. I think possible that she re-married it is unusual to revert to your maiden name if you had a child.

If this is John's death, maybe Eliza re-married.

Pauline Report 8 Mar 2009 14:07

Thank you both for trying, I will see about the imigration lists for that time also of any accidents or perhaps deaths. It is very intriguing. The whole family seems to have vanished.
Once again thank you both.

Sue C Report 8 Mar 2009 14:02

Sorry.....I have tried every combination I can think of on 1881 & 1891 but still can't find any of them

Do you think they might have emigrated, or do you have evidence that they remained in the UK?

Pauline

Pauline Report 8 Mar 2009 13:53

No Sue, I have not found them, so I tried to see if on the 1881 census's
I might have found a John J. Sealey aged 10 or 11yrs old but cannot find him. I was hoping that someone else may be able to spot the family better than me, I am not as advanced at these things.
Cheers Pauline.

Sue C Report 8 Mar 2009 13:49

Have you found his parents on subsequent census's? I can't seem to see them.

Pauline

Pauline Report 8 Mar 2009 13:44

Hi Richard & Sue,

it is the son of John Sealey I am trying to find in later census's I have the details from the 1871 census but cannot find the baby of one month in any other ones.
cheers Pauline.

Do you mean 1871.

Cencus later than 1971 are not available.

Pauline

Pauline Report 8 Mar 2009 13:26

Can some kind person look up for me, the son John, of John Sealey married to Eliza Follows, their son John was born in 1871 and they all lived at no 4 Blakemere Terrace Birmingham. I cannot seem to find the son in any later census. I would be very greatful for any help with this.
