milby

I think this name is a mistranscription. Any ideas what it should be please?

[Elaine ..Spain]

Where have you found it Gloryer?

[Roger in Sussex]

Wilby?

[gloryer]

lol yes very cute. Supposed to be a females name.
Its on 1911 census she is the wife of a Frederick Freed and they have a daughter Florrie. I think I know which Frederick it is but cant find the marriage of such a person.

[Harrys mum]

Milly/Molly/Mally.

I have all of them in my lot.

[Sussex Maid]

Trilby?

If the age given for "Milby" is correct then she is very unlikely to be Florrie's mother, but would be Frederick's second wife. There is a Frederick James Freed marriage in Gravesend district Mar 1907 to either Paula Elise Krienitz(?) or Alice Maud Sedge - probably Alice as the other groom has a foreign name too. So could the name be Ally, short for Alice, do you think?

[Viv]

My grandmother Rebecca Lilian was known as Lily/Lilie/Lillie and on the 1881 census when she was a few months old was mistranscribed as ' Tilby ' LOL.

I have the one married to Alice Maud Sedge, Thank you.

Will try for Milly Molly Mandy:D

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

The child, Florrie, should be on the 1901 census. However, I can't find any Freed to fit, nor a birth registration for her either. The 1911 seems to have her born in Maidstone.

I cannot find a Frederick Freed b 1865ish in Maidstone either.

So is Florrie a step-daughter who has taken on Frederick's surname?

[gloryer]

The Frederick that I believe it to be is the son of John Freed and Harriet Clout as thats the only one born Tovil the one in 1911 census is living at Tovil. I havent looked at the original but its possible that 'milby' is his daughter and not his 2nd wife.

Another alternative is Willoughby - a popular name in Norfolk.
