i have suddenly got a bit of interest in my tree again and have dived into my pile of un-filed print outs. I've re-visited something i half thought about over a year ago and would love your opinions please.
my grt grt grandfather was illegitimate and his lovely mother also had a daughter out of wedlock. on the 1881 census she is shown as Caroline A Adams and is 3yrs old. Her mother is ALice adams who at this time and finally got married to a Henry Harrington (they are in Romford/Chemlsford area of Essex) I would love to try and trace Caroline forward as my nan never knew that her beloved grandfather was illegitimate or that he had any siblings. I am quite drawn to caroline as she was also illegitimate and might possible have had the same father as my grt grt grandfather (i know it's a far wished theory).
Well i have had some trouble finding caroline further forward but i did (sometime ago) buy a marriage cert for a Annie Caroline Adams, married 27/5/1905 aged 27. She is living in Romford and is married there and her father is shown as Henry Adams. I have tried to find her under this name on the 1901 census but am having a bit of trouble, i think i must be out of practice! I think this might be my girl. Her brother had also moved to Romford and my nan was born there and married in the same church. Whilst Annie's father is down as Henry Adams, i think that this could be explained by her mother marrying a Henry and for the sake of apparence's at the church gave him the same surname.
I dont have carolines birth cert and will be purchasing that as soon as possible. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated
