Hi Mike if Debbie doesn't have her I do ;-) or rather I have her as illegit dau of Mary Ann Tidbury and born Pineapple, Ashford Hill about 1869. For some reason I haven't recorded a baptism for her tho' I'm fairly sure I did find it. Mary Ann seems to have had 2 other illegitimate children before Matilda, Ellen Jane born Sidmonton, bapt St. Lawrence, Ecchinswell 18 Aug 1850 and George William born Sidmonton 30 May 1856, bapt St. Lawrence 17 Jul 1860. May Ann's parents are David & Phoebe, other than David probably being born at Greenham about 1785 can't tell you much more about them. May Ann had 6 siblings all recorded as born Sidmonton (probably North Sidmonton) or Greenham. --- John Lewis <jayellatntlworlddotcom> from Bournemouth, Dorset, UK. using Debian GNU/Linux and GeneWeb genealogy software
