Dickie2804 Report 12 Jul 2011 09:01

CAN ANYONE HELP ME? I AM TRYING TO FIND INFO ON LILY CROSS (NEE ASKEW) AND FAMILY. SHE MARRIED WILLIAM J CROSS IN MARCH 1921 AND THEY HAD A DAUGHTER EVELYN IN MAY 1921. IF ANYONE COULD FIND LILY ON THE CENSUS, I'D BE VERY GRATEFUL. I HAVE SEARCHED BUT COME TO A DEAD END. IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO HELP TRACE HER WHEREABOUTS AND HER DEATH PLEASE REPLY. I AM UNSURE IF WILLIAM DIED YOUNG AND SHE REMARRIED. I THINK THEIR DAUGHTER EVELYN WAS MY GRANDMOTHER AND SHE WAS RAISED BY AMY C AND JOHN KANE. FINALY, DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW FAR DERBYSHIRE IS FROM SLEAFORD. THERE ARE 2 SLEAFORDS BUT THE ONE I WANT IS IN LINCOLNSHIRE....SORRY TO SOUND SO DIM!!
THANKYOU AND HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON

Hi,
I found the marraige but couldnt find anything else. Ahh, so her surname was Askew and she became Cross which is why her daughter Evelyn is Cross. I should search for Lily cross then? I wonder if you do manage to trace a Lilly Cross who may have been born in Belper Darbyshire on any records of the censuses, would you let me know. She may have had a sister called Amy if that helps?
I am mopst grateful.
Regards
Richard

BECAUSE I AM A FOOL! YOU SEE I TOLD YOU I WAS NO GOOD AT THIS. ITS WILLIAM J CROSS WHO I WANTED TO SEE WAS BORN IN BELPER OR DARBYSHIRE. IF WHAT I AM THINKING IS RIGHT, WILLIAM AND LILY CROSS (NEE ASKEW)'S DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN RAISED BY WILLIAMS SISTER AMY CROSS?? I CANT EVEN FIND AMY CROSS ON THE CENSUS AND MY MOTHER AND THE ONLY OTHER SURVIVING RELATIVE, MY UNCLE DOES NOT KNOW WHETHER AMY KANE(NEE CROSS) HAD SIBLINGS AS THEY DO NOT REMEMBER ANY AUNTS OR UNCLES. MY UNCLE JOHN KANE SAID THAT HE THHINKS SHE HAD A SISTER EDNA BUT MY SEARCHING HAS COME TO NOTHING.
YOU ARE TOO KIND GETTING BACK TO ME SO QUICKLY - I AM SORRY FOR MIOTHERING AND WOUOLD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO SO SPEEDILY HELPED ME WITH MY QUERY. IF YOU WOULD LIKE ACCESS TO ANY RECORDS, LET ME KNOW AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHARE MINE WITH YOU.
THANKYOU
