  • any thoughts?

    My Dad's eldest brother Jabez Gray was widowed before I was born. I only knew his wife was called "Gina" and she died 1954. Decided to track her down, but couldn't find a death for a Gina Gray. So I thought I'd check the marriage. Found uncle married 1948 in Hampstead (!) and checked for corresponding female - Minnie G. Phillips.
    Yippee. Found death for a Minnie G.A. Gray in 1954 which checked out.
    So off to find Minnie's birth.

    Found this Minnie G A Phillips 1900 Jul-Aug-Sep Paddington which looked v. promising as I knew she was older than uncle. She also had a sister who was called Lulu and I found a birth in Paddington 1904 for a Louisa Phillips. So far, so good.

    Off to 1901 census to find a one-year-old Minnie Phillips in Paddington.

    But I found only fit is this: RG13; Piece: 3; Folio: 15; Page: 21

    which gives Minnie's age as 2. If it was meant to be 2 months it would be wrong. What do you think? Is this her?

    Might be completely wrong, have no sense of where places are in London.

    Have you tried RG13 Piece 256 Folio 49 Page 21.

          The one you have is St Lukes, which is just north of the City of London. Paddington is further west, but thank you for looking.

            Ooh, Lyn

            Never occurred to me she might be a visitor elsewhere. This one has right name, age and it says born London (more helpful if it was Paddington). But I can't get the image to load.

              There's a Minnie Philips (only one L) as a visitor in Heckmondwike, Yorkshire. Right age, born London.

              No parents though, which I suppose is the point

                So frustrating. Head is Alfred Hull but apart from his wife and son, all the others appear to be "visitor". Can't get image to load to see what Alfred's occupation is and whether this is an institution or what.

                      Alfred Hull is a Carrier, as is his son (also Alfred)

                      all the visitors (except Minnine) are Professional singers

                      It lists all the Barratts (no ages) and then Alice Payne, 29 is above Minnie

                        You'll only stub your toe! Thanks for looking. I can't be sure this is my aunt. I guess that's another one I have to save till the blinking 1911 census is available.

                          take it back.

                          The Barratts all have NK in their age box but this has been crossed out and someone has written the ages in pencil to the side.

                          Looks like Harry (31) and May (29) are the parents and Lila (8) and Ada (6) their kids.

                          Alice Payne says she is married.

                            Thanks Zoe, that's good to know.

                            I can't get the blinking image to load. It doesn't seem Minnie is connected to these people but she's a bit young to be visiting on her own. I'm also sure she is connected to the Louisa who is born Paddington 1904.

                            Still recovering from the idea that her name was Minnie and not Gina (or Georgina). Flipping complicated.

                              Just seen your previous post, Zoe

                              Professional singers?! Definitely no connection to any of my family!

                                Sorry Nell,
                                I was away to bed!
                                Do you still want that image? PM me with an addy if you do.

                                Blessings.
