  • Hello - i'm lost looking for GG Grandad

    Hi All

    Its a long time since i looked at my family tree as the last year has been a wee bit hectic with family etc - but im back and think im going to get hooked on it again.

    my problem is im having to restart to try get my paper work in order and i seem to have lost my Great Great Grandad between the 1851 census and the 1881 censue - any ideas where i could look - I cant find him on 1861 or 1871.

    Name is Jacob Congreve born 27 June 1838 son to Abraham and Ann
    in 1851 he is listed as living a spalding common Lincolnshire with sisters Mary, Martha, Elizabeth

    I know he married Sarah Jayne Rodges in 1859 who died 6 years later then he remarried to Maria WIlson in 1865 -

    iN 1881 Jacob and Maria are living at Bargate Bright with 8 children -- ------

    can any one help me find him or point me in the right direction

    thanks again

    Sharon

        I think I just put in Jacob Congreave (spelled wrongly on purpose) with born 1838 +/- 5 and Lincolnshire. -on ancestry not fmp.

        Maybe you just missed him, or maybe he was hiding before. I have looked and looked for people, then the next time they appear first up, just to spite me I'm sure.
