  • Help with the Hands family

    Hoping some one can help with the Hands family after 1891:

    I am missing

    Mary Elizabeth Hands b 1853 Whitbourne Herefordshire
    Edith Mary Hands b 1883 Chorlton Lancashire
    Laurence (or Lawrence) Ernest Hands b 1878 Lancashire


    Mary Elizabeth Hands & hubby Laurence Evan Hands are at different addresses in 1891 but he is a travelling salesman. However I have found a news item in 1890 where Mary is suing hubby for the return of some property so they may have been seperated.

    I can find Marys husband after 1891 but he is living in Canada with a new family & its without doubt the same man.

    Would be really grateful for any help.

    Thank you

        Mary E Hands (born Whitbourne) is with L E Hands and Ethel M Hands both born Manchester.
        they are living with a Louie Jones born Whitbourne , presume this is Marys sister.
        addy is in Chorlton Manchester.

            If that is the right family they are living at 93 Denmark Road. I think this is the same family in 1901, living at 91 Denmark Road. The names and places of birth are a bit mangled

            Marie Hands married 41 Boarding House Keeper b Herefordshire
            Ethel 17 b Herefordshire
            Hilda Ross 13 visitor b London
            plus 3 boarders

              Oops, sorry, it is Ethel not Edith. Thank you so much Janet & Night Owl, I really appreciate your help.

              It does look like Mary on the 1901, slight change of name & losing a few years bless her!

              Ahh, just found her on 1911 & lost 2 more years, that nearly 10 off her real age, lol
