Many thanks, Pam. The crucial thing for me would be the name of Fanny's father, although knowing the names of her husband could also turn up something.

My father was always known as Harry even though his forenames were Alfred Henry, perhaps because his father was also Alfred. When looking for his mother, I was sure I was looking for something a bit more fancy than Fanny Fletcher - I really though the Fanny was short for something, but no, that is her birth certificate name. While on the topic of Fanny, there are two records of a Fanny Fletcher marrying, registered in Caistor, in the late 1800s. Does anyone have easy access to the name of Fanny's father in these two cases? They are: Dec. 1894 Caistor 7a, p.1313 And June 1895, Caistor, 7a, p.1505 Any answers would be very much appreciated - to support or put to death a sneaking suspicion.

Hi Mary Those given names, I would say would be a clue in finding their records. In my experience the use indicates a tie to a Christian Chapel rather than the Church of England...perhaps a Baptist congregation. I'm just in the midst of sorting a group of mine not in Lincolnshire but with these same given names and the connection is to a Baptist chapel. So, look for their records in the Nonconformist section. Linda B.C. Canada My study of Lincolnshire Skipworths appears to have produced two unrelated ??? families, centred only 50 miles apart.  Only DNA will prove their degree of separation.   One group occasionally used names from the bible..  Yes, there is a Jabez, and an Ahijah, an Azubah, a Hephzibah, a Bathsheba and a Manasseh, as well as lots of Samuels and Sarahs, and a Naomi, a Patience, a Salome and a Prudence.  None of those names were used in the other group, which leads me to ask - was this a class distinction, or was it an indicator of non-conformist religious persuasion?.     Mary

Some names don't travel well.  I had an employee once whose uncle was the first of the family to come to the United States from China.  The family surname got recorded as "Foo", which was the uncle's first name. My step-dad's father came to America from Hungary as a young man, and his first name got Anglicized from Miklos to Nicholos.  I'm told the Anglicized version should have been Michael.  My step dad, named after his father, went by Nicholos all his life.  It wasn't until I got his birth certificate from Cook county, Illinois, that we discovered that his birth name was really Miklos.  That's when he realized why the family had called him "Mickie" all his life and not "Nickie". And I have a cousin who was called by his middle name all his young life because he had the same forename as his father and his family wanted to keep their names separate.  As an adult, he has used his real forename, but he told me it took him years to get used to it.     Lou

Frank, I also have had a look for your g grandmother and as you have said she was born in Lincolnshire in 1862 though like you drew a blank finding her in the census returns for 1871 and 1881. Perhaps when you receive her birth cert you may be able to find her parents in the census - could she perhaps have used/been known by a different name to the one on her birth cert? My husbands g aunt was named "Frances Ellen" but on various census returns and marriage cert she was recorded as Nell, Nellie or Hellen. On my side of the family I have relatives who were known and formally listed on various official documents by their middle rather than their first names but even that was not consistent. The other possibility is that her parents, for whatever reason, were not recorded on a census return. You have probably considered all these options but I mention them just in case... None of the options make life easy when trying to trace ancestors.

Hi, Missing Lincs,     Just a note for those of you who get the list in "digest" mode.  When you reply to the list and copy the whole digest back to the list, it most likely won't post.  I've set a limit to the size of e-mail messages so that we don't overflow folks' computers with large e-mails.  Now, the limit is pretty high, so most of us don't have a problem with it.  It has been in place for years and most folks don't notice it.     But when you copy all 800 lines or so of a digest back to the list, the system gives out a "Whoa!" message to me and I have to see what's in it.  If you have 800 lines of really useful information, I'll let it post to the list.  But I can't trim YOUR message to make it fit.     So, what do you do if you are replying to a digest message?  Highlight the portions that don't have anything to do with your reply and then press the "delete" key.  You may to do this in several steps to get it just right, but it will ensure that your message gets out to the 900 list members quickly.     Thank you for your time.              Lou (list admin.)

Some more extracts from letters written by WA Seymour around 1939-40 while he was in the RAF. (Wednesday Afternoon, Cardington, Bedfordshire) Many thanks for Uncle Joe's letter. I have time to write this to-day because it is snowing like mad outside, and we never do anything when it rains or snows. I have written two letters this morning, one to my pal and one to the Wheelers Secretary. The Wheelers prize-giving is next Monday night. [The "Wheelers" would be "Boston Wheelers" cycling club (http://bostonwheelerscc.org.uk/).] (Thursday Night, Feltwell, Norfolk) I shall soon be well rigged out for clothes when I get your scarf. I had a pull-over sent me and a young lady friend of mine in Cambridge said she would knit me a pair of gloves, I don't know whether she will or not. The pull-over was sent by a Miss G.I. Hooper of 48, Argyle Street, and she was very careful to put "Miss" in her letter and she also sent a stamped addressed envelope to make sure I wrote back. I wondered if it was a gag to get me to write to her or not, because Mother gave my name to a schoolteacher I know, and I've been wondering why this teacher couldn't have sent the pull-over herself. When I was going to write to her I was trying to make up my mind whether "Miss" Hooper was a young lady of about 18 or an old maid of ? about, shall we say 50. (Just imagine the poor old dear, with her crinoline and cat.) I finally decided (from my own conclusions) that Miss Hooper is about 17 or 18 because her letter was printed and rather heavily scented and you don't usually find old maids of 50 printing their letters, even if they use scented notepaper. Perhaps you can get your Detective Agency on the job and get some information for me. (I thank you.) [Argyle Street is in Boston. I'd better let you know what happened about Miss Hooper since I don't want you biting your nails; though it's a bit disappointing] (Wednesday Night, Feltwell, Norfolk) It's a pity you didn't get any information about Miss Hooper, you know I shall want somebody to run around if I get home for Xmas. I have been making a list of "possibles" and I have got them narrowed down a lot. How about "Ginger" across the road from you? Do you think she will be attracted by the Air Gunner's badge. As a last resort I might try "Coe", although I hope she thinks different of me, than she did that Sunday night she stopped us in Emery Lane and told me off for ringing her up. Do you remember that night? Poor old Betty, I often think about that "do". I was hoping that they might have "The Lion Has Wings" at the Odeon for Xmas, but I see from the forthcoming attractions that there isn't anything outstanding on. We have had a deuce of a lot of rain here lately. I had a pair of gloves and a Balaclava helmet sent to me last week by a woman at Amber Hill. I told Mother to bang my name and address into the "Standard" troops fund, I may as well get as much out of this war as I can. [OK, so he's very keen on his posse of ladies. He mentions "Coe" elsewhere though she might be more of a long-term friend than a girlfriend. Emery Lane is a narrow pedestrian street (almost an alley) in Boston, with shops. The Odeon was one of Boston's cinemas (those around my age may remember it as the Classic and it was later the Haven). It was on South Square and has been demolished. The Standard is the Boston Standard, which is still one of Boston's local newspapers (http://www.bostonstandard.co.uk/)] Regards Simon
