Anyone else into seeking their ancestors?

[darksideofthemoon]

I have become adicted to Ancestry.com and am lucky enough that one side of my family can be researched way back into the dim times.

The other side has hit a brick wall and I have to wait until someone else in the world may have more information.

How is everyone else going?

Thanks Punch, I will have a look for it 😃

Oh wow Flashie, I didn't realise that Ben SNR came to Australia too, he must of been out here working on a ship.

Matilda I have found some relevant censuses on Find My Past UK, let me know if you want copies of them.

Bit of a strange one for Trazar, she is listed as a step daughter along with a Fanny in 1871, but Fanny is as old as the mum?? Doesnt really make sense.

Apparently Fanny was an "idiot from birth" 😮 They werent very sensitive back then were they?

Punch....can you email me some details of that census....because I could not find her....all I cou ld find was her fathers name was William.

Children of Samuel and Hannah Smale....nee Baker...married Etchingham 1809

Samuel 16-9-1810 Etchingham Sussex

Hannah 9-2-1812 Etchingham Sussex

James 20-2-1814 Etchingham Sussex

Elizabeth 24-12-1814 Etchingham Sussex

Benjamin 3-1-1819 Mayfield Sussex

Ann 20-4-1821 Mayfield Sussex.

As there are gaps between children I can not be sure I have them all.

Yes please punch! Hopefully we can get to the bottom of what you have found. I am expecting to find a few curly ones with this family.

Awesome! Thank you flashie!

Off for the kinder run now, will be back later tonight.

Thanks guys 😃

Matilda, can you send me your email address again please.

Do you want all of the censuses I can find, or just that unusual one?

I have sent it to flashie. It has her name written as Frazar, even on the original document, but I am still pretty sure its her.

Cant find her in 1861 yet.

[matildas-place]

I don't know what I am doing wrong on Ancestry but the only census I can find is 1881.

Thank you Punch I have messaged you my email address.

[punch*drunk]

OK, now that I have my electricity turned back on, I will email it to you. Darn weather!!
