Find Ancestors

im trying to find John Conner and his wife Ann on the census' for 1871 onwards and im having no luck at all. I have him on the 61 census with his wife and step daughters. They were living in plymouth in the parish of st andrews. I have one of the stepdaughters in 1871 (gg grandma) but i dont have the other or the parents. This is really bugging me now, any ideas? louise

hiya thats him. someone else looked quickly for me a few days ago but couldnt see. hes marked as conner on the 61 census and o'conner on witnessing his stepdaughters marriage. cant find it under either. think its a bit weird that a few have gone missing! any ideas where to look? lou

hes irish, his wife is born in devon. says tengraze on the translation of the census but as noone has heard of that we think it could be teigngrace (never heard of that either but others have!) his stepd married dec 1866 so i know they were still there then. lou

they married in dec 1866. cant recall from memory but it was either in plymouth st andrews or charles the martyr. see what i mean they just disappear! free bmd isnt bringing up any deaths for ann between the date of her daughters marriage and the next census.

yes elizabeth was my gg grandmother-she married fred foley-thats all fine. her sister emma-didnt know she existed till a few days ago. but assuming that is her-quite likely, cant find an emma hallahan or cole that matches. you may prove me wrong!! LOL! lou

karen, i have the marriage cert-definately december 1866. just done another search on him on free bmd and still not getting a death that matches age, place etc. lou

not really, its driving me nutty! thats definately their marraige too. im looking on the 81 census and cant find them then either.

probably! i suppose we have to remember what is translated is what the person reading it thought they saw and also what the person originally writing thought they heard so it may not bve that accurate in certain cases. also, anns first husband (assuming they actually married) was james discombe but her maiden name was cole according to elizabeths birth cert.

i think so. not ordered a death certificate-am skint! cant afford one! that fits in as his children were born in 1844 and 1847 and shes remarried in 55. all plymouth. (stonehouse is where elizabeth was born and is part of plymouth) lou
