I have recently made a breakthrough with my ggg granfather John Free Smith's family & have been making use of the free Ancestry access this weekend to follow up one of his sisters. her name was Ann Smith & she married William Bo(a)rdman in Louth in 1851. I had followed them through the censuses living in Market Rasen Lincs, until 1891 , where I found her in Leeds with son Ben & his wife & daughter Demaris. This was odd as she didn't have a son Ben, but it soon became obvious the Lewis H Boardman c1860 had become Benjamin Lewis Boardman. I found him using this name in 1901 & 1911. I was then looking for details on Demaris (Market Rasen c 1857)& after looking on an ancestry tree via Mundia, I found that she was in Nottingham in 1901 & 1911, where I found her with sister Bertha. However, she didn't have a sister Bertha & although I believed that Bertha may have been her sister Emma (Market Rasen c1855), the ages were out by10 years. Mother Ann was with them both in 1901, which seems to confirm that they are the right ones. I can find no matching birth for a Bertha Boardman nor her death. I found a death for Demaris in 1926.
If anyone can help, the details I am looking for are:-
1871 census for Emma Boardman c1855
1891 census for Bertha Boardman c1858
I have located these records but can't view them
Also there is a birth in March quarter 1891 in Basford Nottingham for a Glyde Bertha Boardman, there is also a baptism for her (mother Demaris) in the West Yorkshire parish records (which I can't view the details of) & a death in Jul quarter 1891 in Leeds.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
