Find Ancestors

Hello,
My grandmother was born patricia hatchett (1932-2006) her mother was annie hatchett (1914-2001). Patricia was born out of marriage and her father is unknown. Annie went on to marry walter cherrett (1911-1989) and patricia took cherrett as her maiden name, even stating this on her marriage cert as her maiden name. I am trying to find annies family as it's the one incomplete side of my paternal tree. They all lived in or around droxford, hampshire.
Thank you.

Thanks Flo, think that must be the only way. Patricia's cert doesnt state her father so hopefully annies will state hers.

As you seem to know when and where she was born why dont you send for her birth.

Not finding a birth for her in Hampshire or anywhere under Ann*Hatchett of any spelling....

Thats the problem Im having. If I was to order her marriage cert would that give me more information?

Hopefully it will give you her fathers name and occupation (if she knew it and didnt lie of course!)then we may be able to get somewhere by searching 1911.
Also some of her family may be a witness?
We will get nowhere without it I am afraid,I really tried yesterday even to searching 1911 for maybe a clue in the area you say,but nothing that helped....

Thank you so much, will get it ordered and let you know how i get on!

Flo and I will see you back here when it arrives then Victoria...

Hello, I known its been a while but I have Annies marriage marriage cert now! Her father is named as William Hatchett, a Coal Merchant, and deceased. The marriage took place in 1935. Is anyone able to find them on the 1911 for me, thank you.

and witnesses were winifred hack and rosie lilian may baker.

One possible..I wonder if she has put her grandfather down as father,or he remarried late to a younger woman OR he is her father but wasnt married to Annies mother and therefore Annie is under her mothers maiden name?
Lots of ifs here it seems..

HATCHETT, William Head Widower M 64 1847 Coal Merchant Winterslow Wilts

Registration District:
Droxford Sub District:
Bishops Waltham Enumeration District:

Bishops Waltham

Address:
3 Malt Lane Bishops Waltham County:
Hampshire

Do you know if Annie had any brothers and sisters please?

She states School Hill in Bishops Waltham as her address so could be possibilty! Thanks.

I'm wondering if Annie was her middle name and she took it as her first name as can't find her birth anywhere.

Do you know if Annie had any brothers and sisters please?

And what age did she give on her marriage?

Im not aware if she had any brothers or sisters although I can find 3 that could be being born around the time she was, in droxford which is the disrtict she was married and lived in. The mothers maiden name is stubbington, and father is william. On her marriage she is 20. I think I have her death which is in 2001 and this gives her d.o.b as 30 nov 1914. But I can find no birth in the whole country under that name and date!

Nor can I am afraid,all I can say is that she may have been William Hacketts daughter and knew that but reg in her mothers name.

There is only one Ann born at the right time in Droxford reg district and thats this one

Births Mar 1915
Walker Anne V Gibbs Droxford 2c 282

And I dont see that being her.

her marriage cert states william hatchett, deceased.

Typo when I put Hackett instead of Hatchett..I have been looking under Hatchett;)
I dont really see that she can be one of the Hatchett / Stubbingtons as they are born too close to give the gap for her birth..Maybe though..Fact is often stranger than fiction

So I think my only way of going forward, assuming her parents eventually married (!!), is to find an ann registered under her mothers name, and then see if I can find a marriage with that maiden name to a hatchett??

That's assuming as you said that it is actually her father, and not her grandfather, or someone else! This link of my family is a complete brain teaser ;)

Thanks Flo, will have a look and try to get my head round! This is provong to be most difficult of my links, and considering only 2 generations back its very frustrating! Thank you so much for your help so far!

Vicky.
