  • Anyone want to try & make sense of this?

    We have finally managed to extract some info from M-in-L. about her roots ( she always changes the subject, you know the sort....!

    anyway...

    Amy Elizabeth Robinson & John Thomas Smith Married June qtr 1929 Wellington Somerset. They then travelled to N hants/Leicestershire border where they had their children.

    Amy Died 1967 aged 73

    M-in-L ( here aftrr known as the dragon in law) in adamant that AMY was born in Herefordshire, and had just one sister Kathleen

    She says ( I think, she waffles a bit) that amy & kathleens mother was called Edith May Pritchard -Ross How where & where the hypen (or not) I have no idea

    Some one is suppose to have either had or be one of 32 children, born of two marraiges ( I find that possibly a slight exageration on her part maybe but happy to be proved wrong.)

    Other than that - its a thick mist.

    what do you think?

      sorry - see you already said June quarter. Did you know that already?

      My first step would be to get the certificate to get an idea of Amy's age and find her father

                    So - Edith Mary Pritchard (Bennett) born in Ross - explains the hyphen.

                    Wonder where Amy is in all this...

                                  1861 shows an Elizabeth Pritchard born c1835 in Ross Herefordshire.
                                  She's living as a servant in Islington but if the P in Edith's name is Pritchard she looks fairly likely for the mother
