So gather more info on her relatives before you start narrowing your research. Since other trees are inconsistent, forget them for now - it sounds like others have simply taken a stab at what might be possible. Is she catholic or protestant? did she immigrate? who was her husband?

Hi Brendan - using DNA areas will not really assist you at this stage of your research. There are 27 CS's born in Killarney born between 1869 & 1872. The Irish placenames are not consistent & may be a townland or a parrish (in different places altogether!

thats so sweet!

Hi Brendan - where online trees conflict, then you must start from scratch. Go back to where you are reasonably certain of the records, and look again. Check areas and work descriptions. I'll have a look tomorrow to see if there is more you can follow. Nil Desperandum !

go to the john grenham site, and do a surname search for places, then use the Irish Genealogy site (free) & Roots Ireland site $ to explore possibilities. Use DNA for clues. #Genealogy #IrishGenealogy

I am creating a powerpoint on the Evidence Explained citation method for my family history society. Wondering - how many FH writers & family historians use it? #Genealogy #genealogycitations

However, if you were to enclose a stamped, addressed envelope, and a five pound note, we may oblige.

Hi Debbie I have researched this area, as I have family living there during the period you mention. look it up on the Internet archive too, and also the East London History Society and Lockies Topography of London. What is the surname of your family? #Genealogy

How beautiful - I love them

Thankyou Janet - The loud, troubled people who are afraid eventually quieten - or burn themselves out. Those who take a deep breath, then remain steadfast - they endure. Or at least manage, which is the best we can do. With humour, with a light touch, and with vision.

"Oh dread... its up to my head" (famous song, 'I'm being swallowed by a boa-constrictor')

Great name for a cheese!

its in the Internet archive. I must read it, thanks so much

Check on the 1861 census..

Fantastic site! recommend this to #Genealogy researchers

Sounds like John Brown's sister is really worried...

I asked AI and this is the reply: There is no specific height requirement for a lady's maid; their suitability depends on discretion, skill, and the ability to manage wardrobes and styling, rather than physical stature.

Poor Charles - and I suspect he was gay (check out his Will). Thanks for the extra information! I have a collection of the bound Girls Own Annuals and have found some fascinating stuff....

I suspect the Editor of the Girls Own 1880-1907, Charles Peters, wrote this himself. He died of 'obesity' and you can see more at shop.interfoto.de/id/01923832

Lots of times, especially children in the 1700's, but adults too. and parish records are littered with unknown persons found dead, or found abandoned and given a name at baptism by the priest.

Depends on the social strata they inhabit. upper class - seclusion & adoption & marriage to anyone. Middle - quick marriage, with age inflated. Lower - attempt @ abortions; marriage to older man as housekeeper/mum to his children; dau. mum says its hers or accepted & reared.

Can't wait for the invention of the indoor privy #GirlsOwn

Found this site #Genealogy when looking for poor Alfred Oxtoby who got sent to Rampton in 1910. If you need info on mental health institutions then this is just amazing studymore.org.uk/4_13_TA.HTM

Sooo.... you are writing to the Editor about these 'friends' of yours? A bit mean of you, I think. Noone likes a tattle-tale. Of course, if its you, then you have your answer. However, the young men are also tarnished, no? #GirlsOwn

yes, I saw the wordpress site - shame they don't finish it off or give some explanation. probably the funding ran out. Good idea for research though. My family married within their professions for many generations.

I think the 'contact us' link, which goes nowhere - is the answer. No recent posts - the project appears abandoned. A shame, really. #Genealogy #History #professions

A family historian like me, some 100 years later, will work it out and write a story about it. DNA does not lie...but you won't be judged. Times have changed.

My dear - I just messaged a tree owner who had the Captain of the ship my 3 x great grandfather, a shops'steward, worked for.... and I have found the house fires my other 3 x great grandfather went to in his job as a turncock. NOTHING is too small....

Dammit, its that pesky autocomplete typesetting again....
