Find Ancestors

Hello,

Hoping someone can locate the whereabouts of Beatrice Digby born 1874 Chelmsford, Essex on 1891 and 1901 Essex Census.

I found her 1881 staying with her Aunt Sarah, Tomasina Yard, Witham, Essex. RG11/1809.

I am also hoping to establish who her parents were.

Many thanks for any help.

Many thanks

Hi Nicki

There are two Beatrice Digby's on ancestry, one born 1881 (not mine) and one 1874.

In 1881 Beatrice Digby b1874 Chelmsford was staying with her Aunt Sarah Digby as follows;

Name: Beatrice Digby
Age: 7
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1874
Relation: Niece
Gender: Female
Where born: Chelmsford, Essex, England
Civil Parish: Witham
County/Island: Essex
Country: England
Street address: Thomasins Yard


I am trying to establish who her parents are, so hoping that they will be with her on 1891 &/or 1901 census as follows.

1891 England Census
Name: Beatrice Digby
Age: 17
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1874
County/Island: Essex
Country: England

1901 England Census
Name: Beatrice Digby
Birth: abt 1874 - city, Essex, England
Residence: 1901 - township, city, Essex, England

Bit confusing with the two Beatrice's.

Hi Christine,

Many thanks for that, yes I do have an Alfred Digby b1850c in my tree, so I can now confirm parentage link. Beatrice had fallen through the cracks as she wasnt with them in 1881.

I appreciate your help.

bye Helen

Hi Christine,

Our postings must have over-lapped. Once again many thanks for the addtional 1901 census information.

bye Helen

You're welcome
