Suzanne - First of all many thanks - trying to find my Gt. Gran Sarah Fowler's maiden name, birthplace, plus any info on my many Aunts & 2 Uncles. I know Gt Gran Fowler's spouse William George was killed in the 1st World War thats all. Neither Gt.Grans nor Gt. Grandad's d.o.b.

Andrew - you have been so helpful. William Job Fowler b 4.10.1888 was my grandmother Mabel Edith brother. I didn't know her mother was Sarah J Fowler. I know eldest Ellen Jane Doris b 30.9.1880 died of consumption. William George Fowler was obviously my gt grandfather's name. Two questions if you have a moment: 1) How do I find out my Gt.Gran Fowler's maiden name. 2) How do I trace where her other siblings were born, i.e. Elsie May b.16.6.1891, Elizabeth Ethel b.6.10.1893, Evelyn b 19.11.1895, Gladys Winifred 29.10.1898 & Stanley George 7.2.1890 (some older & some younger than Grandma Sheppard (Mabel Edith Fowler). Hope I haven't confused you as I am always confusing myself ha.ha - must be my age - Valerie

Hi Suzy-Wong
Mabel Edith Sheppard (nee Fowler) born 19.8.1884 in Swindon, siblings: Ellen b 30.9.1880, William b 4.10.1888, Elsie b 16.6.1891, Elizabeth b 6.10.1893, Evelyn b 19.11.1895, Gladys b 29.10.1898 & Stanley b 7.2.1900. Does this assist?

You need to start with what you know.....Mabel Edith presumably has a married name and a maiden name and a date of birth.

Tell us what you know for sure?

My maternal Gt. Grandmother Fowler (?Ellen Jane) resided @ 67 Farnsby St. Swindon when my grandmother Mabel Edith & siblings were born around 1880-1900. Gt. Gran died @ 21 Armstrong St. Swindon c1939 - can anyone give me a lead?
