Hello
i'm new here so forgive me if I seem a bit confused ,lol
we have been trying to find my great grandmother but there is no trace of her at all before she married in 1900. So I wondered if perhaps she had changed her name ?
we know her as laura dale barton & I thought perhaps she had a foreign name perhaps "de" something & changed it to fit in more ?
Was that something people did then ? & why
I am also looking for information on an artist called edward pritchett.The biography's I can find dont mention his d,o,b or anything about him apart from he was quite famous at the time & had his own art school
My great great grandad has the same name & was listed on the census as a landscape artist. I am an artist myself so thats something I would like to look into
thanks for any help
