Hi All Need some help with some sisters, Anne and Emma Whitson (sometimes spelt Whitsun). 1881 - both living With Parents in Blaina Richard Whitson abt 1845 Forest Of Dean, Gloucestershire, England Head Aberystruth Monmouthshire Esther Whitson abt 1853 Blaina, Monmouth, Wales Wife Aberystruth Monmouthshire >> Anne Whitson abt 1875 Blaina, Monmouth, Wales Daughter Aberystruth Monmouthshire >> Emma Whitson abt 1873 Blaina, Monmouth, Wales Daughter Aberystruth Monmouthshire Rosey Whitson abt 1878 Blaina, Monmouth, Wales Daughter Aberystruth Monmouthshire Amelia Whitson Blaina, Monmouth, Wales Daughter Aberystruth Monmouthshire 1891 - Emma is a servant at a farm in Abertillery Emma Whitson abt 1872 Blaina, Monmouthshire, Wales Servant Aberystruth Monmouthshire Anne - No Trace after 1881. Anne and Emma had 7 sisters, I have managed to trace them all, and this hasnt given me any clues either. Have also looked for Marriages and Deaths - but to no avail. Any assitance gratefully received. Cheers...Paul

Hi Eunice I think you may have hit on something there. I will have a dig round for a marriage. Thanks for your help - Another pair of eyes sometimes let you see the wood for the trees. Thanks again ... Paul
