  • Stumped on Keeley Family-Wandsworth & Battersea

    Hi All.
    I am new to this site,have been taking time away from my family tree when my mum died in 2009 & then after my dad died in December 2010 so i thought i need to get back into it,but with so many brick walls i don't know where to start so picked out this one from my hat...

    My mother Jean was born a Keeley in 1934,her father was not known,but,due to a recent contact,i may get to know who my mum's father was.

    My mum's,mother Rosa Bertha Keeley born 1909 at Meyrick Road Wandsworth was the daughter of Ada Butler & George Edward William Keeley.
    Rosa had a sister Jane,known as Jeannie or Jannie,she was born 1906 Wandsworth.

    Jane is the one i'm stumped on,as when i found them on the 1911 census it was a surprise to my mum to know of another aunt she never knew about.
    I know no more on her other than her birth,George & Ada did lose children but Jane was on the 1911 census,as i am in Poland i have limited access other than internet & her birth cert..........Is there anyone that is connected to the Keeley's or is there anyone that can help further?
    Thanks,
    Kaz & it is minus 20 tonight!

            When you get married, you don't generally have to produce a birth certificate. You can use what name you like, so long as you are not trying to be fraudulent about it. It can cause admin problems if you have documental records with conflicting names. It would be problematic if you did not offer, for banns or equivalent, a name by which you were generally known.

            It's not at all unknown for people to vary their names as they through life. Extra names added, or middle and first names swapped around, spellings varied - nay of these things can be found in a tree.

                Sorry Eileen but I have had to remove your e-mail address as our T&C's don't allow them on the open forum. Hopefully Kaz will see your message and once you have posted 10 replies you can send a Private Message. You can soon reach 10 posts by either adding your surnames of interest to our Surname Directory, and/or perhaps adding to the quiz on the General Board
