Dear Graham, Could it be that Ann WHETTON was not named at the time of registration? Or perhaps she had a different surname. In the 1891 census record for the household of George Whetton I noticed that his oldest son was named William Bonsall, age 17.The younger children (Ann, George, John and Mary Ellen) were all Whettons. I checked FreeBMD and found a Florence Whetton born March quarter 1872 in Chesterfield (7b 558)and dying the same quarter (7b 376). Sadly, when I checked the 1881 census, I found Ann and her family, except for her father (who was no where to be seen),in the Chesterfield Workhouse. This may be muddying the waters, but these are some of the possibilities. Good luck, Margaret -----Original Message----- From: Graham Smith [mailto:graham@warmair.fsnet.co.uk] Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 4:38 AM To: ENG-DERBYSHIRE-CHESTERFIELD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Chesterfield] Annie WHETTON Could anyone tell me where I am going wrong please. I have my grandmothers marriage certificate - she was Annie WHETTON, born in CLAY CROSS (CHESTERFIELD) between August 1875 and December 1876 (she was 19 when married in Nottingham on Oct 26th 1895). Her father was George WHETTON a collier. I have gone through the 1837 web records between 1875 and 1878 but can only find an Ann whose father is Thomas(I know this family) and an Ann Ruth who is also the wrong one. I know her family all came from the Clay Cross area as well. My mother also mentioned an auntie Florrie (presumably Florence). Anyone with any ideas would be most welcome as I am now stumped.Thanks - Christine Smith ==== ENG-DERBYSHIRE-CHESTERFIELD Mailing List ==== Check out the list's website for rules, guidelines, how to post to the list, view archives, unsubscribe, change from L to D or D to L: http://www.connorsgenealogy.com/Chesterfield/
