Before I start - apologies for the one typo in my previous message! It's one of my favourite typos and doesn't get picked up on spell check:-) "I hope you will not look at your trees as I am doing and let us have your lost women ancestors in the Bristol area (25 mile radius). " Should, of course read "I hope you will NOW..." Here is one of my lost ladies...details as follows: Born Elizabeth Jane WILLIAMS 19 Sep 1863 at Long Rooms, Clifton, Bristol. Married Samuel Rees THOMAS 6th May 1888 at St Philip & Jacob. They had only 3 children: Elizabeth Sarah THOMAS b.1889 d. 1924 (m. Alfred Samuel Thomas NEWBERY 1908) Samuel THOMAS b.1893 Alfred Daniel THOMAS b.1895 In 1901 they lived at 1 Waterloo Place, Bristol, Samuel was a carter to the grocery trade and the whole family were still living at home. I've tried to find her in 1911 but there doesn't seem to be an Elizabeth THOMAS in the area although there is a Samuel THOMAS who is a possibility. I can't find a death for Elizabeth THOMAS in and around the Bristol area between 1901 and 1911. Samuel Rees THOMAS died 1915. Any sightings much appreciated. This is definitely one of those with a very common name! Liz www.btinternet.com/~e.newbery OPC for Street, Somerset
