Hi Janet Just a further thought for your ongoing research You seem to have found the family yourself in 1861 and presumably on Ancestry? There does not appear to be an alternative name added (although you have for 1871) Adding the alternative name may mean someone out there also researching the family but may have been unable to find them (they are quite well hidden aren't they <g>) may see them and your contact via the alternative name facility You never know, I have had contact from other researchers for some of the names I have added There is also the postems on freebmd for the births, adding the details and perhaps a research e mail address may prove a good investment of a couple of minutes of your time Just a thought Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > > This is the 1861 household > > Name: Meanea Meyen > Age: 29 > Estimated Birth Year: abt 1832 > Relation: Wife > Spouse's Name: Wm > Gender: Female > Where born: Holland > Civil Parish: St Nicholas
