Hello list, I am in a dilemma regarding ways that I may find the married names of my gr. grandmother's sisters? James and Jane WOOLF of Kington had five daughters and one son. I've found the family on the LDS site and have found Walters marriage in Lyonshall @ 1882. However, I would like to trace the other four daughters: Jane born 1848;Emma born 1851; Janet born 1852; and Elizabeth WOOLF born 1857 all at Kington. If the only hope is by finding an obituary of James or Jane, how would I find someone to search the Kington newspaper archives? James Jane and son Walter lived at 9 Headbrook, Kington in the 1881 census. I can't find a death listing for either of the parents on the familysearch website. Please, folks, could you give me your ideas on where and how to search for these people? Thank you for your time and expertise. Gladys in Alberta Canada.
Hello again Gladys. If on the LDS 1881 on-line site you input first name JANET, leave last name blank, birthplace England/Hereford, birth year 1852, range two years, you get 6 matches but only one of them born in Kington - Janet OLIVER. Do the same with EMMA,1851, and you get 298 matches but only one of them born in Kington - Emma SIMPER, living in West Ham, Essex. Jane is a bit more difficult since out of 230 matches four were born in Kington - Jane HYDE (1848), Jane DAVIES (1850), Jane BRADLEY (1848) and Jane COTTRILL (1850). Take your pick! Elizabeth gives a daunting 976 matches, but interestingly one of them is an Elizabeth WOLFFE, born 1855, working as a domestic nurse in the household of the J.P. for Shropshire. This looks remarkably like your Elizabeth in unmarried state.
