  • help again and thank you

    hi everyone thanks for the last lot of advice just wondering if i can pick your brains again !!

    after speaking to my dad and uncles they state that their dad (my grandad) only had one brother but I have discovered that there was in fact 8 siblings but looks like most of them died in infancey. but I am strugglin to find anything on Mildred Maria Congreve apart from her birth 1905 - can anyone help?

    thanks again;)

    Have you bought her birth cert? If not, maybe she didn't have the same parents??

      thanks, I've just ordered the birth cert today - so i'm keeping my fingers crossed that she is one of the siblings, even if she isnt though i still cant find a marriage, or death record.

          hi Julie

          Got the birth crt for Mildred Maria Linda ( why 3 names i have no idea) today and she is certainly one of my grandads sisters although unknown to him and it states that she was born 14 nov 1905 in leicester - but i can find no more information on her - any ideas ;)

          thanks again

            Hi

            does it deffo state Congreve as the childs surname? and does it state a MN for the mum?

            I did trawl, from 1926-1940 and didnt see any marriage,

              How far have you searched for a death or marriage?

                hi

                certificate clearly states mother is mildred croft and father wilson congreve - which ties in with my grandad. I am new at this so not sure where to check for marriages/deaths have been on bmd, ancestry and find my past - but i'm all over the place looking - so any hints would be great - as my mum is now at me to travel to lincolnshire records to search parish records but I have no idea where to start

                  So at a guess you have searched the FreeBMD site, but not the complete indexes as found on ancestry?

                  I'll see if I can see any deaths as Julie has already checked marriages from 1926-1940

                        Frederick Congreve b. 1899 has some military records on ancestry

                        he signed up in 1907...

                        but I cant find the family yet in 1901...

                            This looks as if it might be connected but can't explain the name changes

                            1901 RG 13 Piece 3002 Folio 170 Page 38

                            Mistranscribed as Cougreve. The father is now Charles but lots of the other things fit.

                                The army record that Darksecretz referred to makes interesting, if sad reading. Frederick was killed in action in 1915. On image no. 8366 there is a declaration signed by his father in 1919 which says he - the father - is Jacob Wilson Congreve, mother Mildred, brothers - Hary sic) aged 24, Edward aged 18 and sisters Hilda (?) and Edith.

                                Later at image 8370 his father is Charles with mother Mildred, brothers Harry and Edward and sister Hilda.

                                That would tie in with the 1901 that I found earlier assuming its the right family.

                                  Re above - there's no mention of a sister called Mildred or Maria

                                    So that would also confirm that Mildred (jr) had died before 1919 when the declaration was signed by the father

                                      I would have thought so unless its another case of name changes - when was Edith born?

                                        Edith was born in 1912 (according to the BMD)
