Find Ancestors

I am trying to find the sirname of the mother of my grandmother Amy Legg. Her husband was George Legg and they had 7 children, Charlie, Alan, Bert, Rosie,Ethel, Amy and Dora.They lived in Dorset and she died in 1933.
Sarah Jones

If you get Amy's B/C it will tell you her Mums maiden name

But you also have no birth date of the children which will help narrow things down

Jean

If you read what Sarah has written...that is what she is looking to find out

What year was Amy born?

as mothers name is Kathleen could this be her birth record?

Births Mar 1910 (>99%)
LEGG Amy Kathleen Shaftesbury 5a 197

There's also a Dora inShaftesbury:-

Births Jun 1913 (>99%)
Legg Dora E (Toomer) Shaftesbury 5a 389

gives mothers maiden name as Toomer
Could this be it?

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marriages Jun 1904 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Legg George Isaac Cardiff 11a 652
street amy sophia Cardiff 11a 652

I'm confused here...

Who is Kathleen / Katherine ?
Is she the mother of Amy and the wife of George?

????????
Marriages Sep 1895

Hunt William Christchurch 2b 1191
Ingram Olive Mary F Christchurch 2b 1191
>>Legg George Christchurch 2b 1191
>>Rae Katharine Christchurch 2b 1191

Will look in 1901 census..

The only marriage I could find for a George Legg to Katherine ? is this one:-

Marriages Jun 1903 (>99%)
<<<Collins Katherine Marylebone 1a 1240
Hayes Richard Marylebone 1a 1240
<<<Legg George Louis Marylebone 1a 1240
Saunders Mary Marylebone 1a 1240

If I've understood correctly Amy is the grandmother and her mother was Katherine and her father was George. The seven children are Amy and her siblings.

Yes, there is the marriage with name spelt Katharine too.

Have sent a pm to Sarah asking for some idea of dates.

I have just looked for a death and the only Katherine coming up was 60 and she is registered in Newton A

If you ..Search trees..... Sarah has an Amy b. 1910, so the younger sibling Dora found, could be correct.

1911 census all living with George Legg:-

HOUSEHOLD LEGG GEORGE M 1870 41 Shaftesbury Dorsetshire
HOUSEHOLD LEGG ALAN M 1902 9 Shaftesbury Dorsetshire
HOUSEHOLD LEGG AMY F 1910 1 Shaftesbury Dorsetshire

HOUSEHOLD LEGG HUBERT M 1899 12 Shaftesbury Dorsetshire
HOUSEHOLD LEGG SAMUEL M 1845 66 Shaftesbury Dorsetshire

only Rosie and Dora (born 1913) and mother Katherine missing!

also included are Samuel and an Ellen but no way of knowing who they are, or if they are in the same household, without paying to view. They are in a household with a person called George but is it the same one.


Are you sure mother is Katherine?

This looks to be the family in 1901 but mother is Ellen as in 1911 census:-

so Rosie was born first !

Rosie is in 1911 census but to see who she is with you will have to pay to view!

HOUSEHOLD LEGG ROSALIE F 1896 15 Blandford Dorsetshire

__________________

Births Jun 1873 (>99%)
TOOMER Ellen Charlotte Wimborne 5a 273

This is the closest I could find for a marriage:-
Search: George Legg (phonetic name search)
? Toomer
between 1890 and 1901 anywhere in the country:-

Marriages Sep 1895 (>99%)
Legge George Blandford 5a 472
Toomer Charlotte Ellen Blandford 5a 472

and Blandford is the birth place for Rosie so very possible!

Pipped me to it Julie!
Had a bit of trouble with my internet connection.

for the benefit of others pm from Sarah:-

Kathleen or Katherine Legg would have been born in Dorset around 1880. She died in 1933 and her husband was Eli Ricketts.
This is all the info I have
regards
Sarah

So im now confused as OP says Husband was George Legg
