The Longford family:
The 2 girls transcribed as Mary and Marlia (Maria??) Or are their names Lucy and Amelia??
I've stared and stared at this, but the contrast on my computer doesn't work and I can't decide what their names are.
Many thanks.

Looking...or trying to!! Ancestry is at a crawl for me at the mo!
In a muddle, as usual.
The 8 yr old is definitely Amelia. Not too sure about the older girl, I see both Mary & Lucy quite easily.

So do I, and as I can find neither a suitable Mary OR Lucy (or Amelia) on future censuses, I'm a bit stuck there! How I hate trying to find army families!
Thanks for looking Lyn.

Snap Lyn!!!
I have (so far!) 10 assorted offspring out of this family, born in 8 different places from Waterford, Ireland to Bengal, India (with one born at sea!)
The trouble is, when I can't find them on a census, there is no way of knowing if they are abroad, or just mistranscribed!
And of course, the sons became soldiers, and the daughters married soldiers!
Moan over!!
Rach, thank you, I'm going for Lucy then.

Hi Bev
Sorry to confuse you but I think it's Mary, not Lucy, because the "M" s seem to start at the bottom of the letter with a little curl, like the Margaret. The L in Longford hasn't got that, so I don't think it's an "L"

I think the child under Margaret looks like Mary (compare the two Ms) and I think its Amelia written with a big little a if you see what I mean.
