Last weekend I decided to work on the minimal range of papers regarding my DAVISON ancestors and its not been easy! (So many people in the same areas with the same given names at the same time - but are not part of my family units and of course the surname has many variations - the D gets included or the I gets replaced by an E just to name a couple. I have a Frances DAVISON born to John & Alice in Winceby in about 1823-25 but Francis was a very common name with the DAVISONs in the area so its hard to track him in the 1841 census, but being about 19 he could have been working/living away from home. He's returned to his parents in 1851 (Welton le Marsh) but working as a house servant in 1861 in Lincoln I think. (The census reference is RG9/2361 page 24 for St Peter in (what looks like) East something parish, city of Lincoln, upper ward. Can anyone work out where it is? However, in 3rd qtr 1863 I believe he married Anna Maria SHARMAN in Boston RD Vol 4a page 563. In 1871 he and Annie Maria are living in Swineshead with their daughter Alice born about 1866 in Swineshead. By 1911 he has passed away and widow Anna Maria is sharing possibly the same home as above with unmarried 44 y/o Alice - a dressmaker. The street address in both 1871 and 1911 is very difficult to read but someone out there with local knowledge or a local street map (current or contemporary) might clarify what I think is Slenning Lane? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Peter Holmes Western Australia. Skype ; p.g.holmes [HOLMES (Witham on the Hill, Manthorpe, Spalding, Pinchbeck, Donington then Leicestershire)].

PLUS 4 DUTCH surname lines - from Rotterdam area (in Dutch).

It seems to be Stenning Lane. A tip for 1911 if you can't read your ancestor's writing, is to click on 'list' in the enumerators book images' which on FMP are at the top of the image page. The enumerator's writing of the address will possibly be a little more legible. <g> Pam Proud to be a member of Lincolnshire Family History Society http://www.lincolnshirefhs.org.uk/ On 11/01/2012 14:26, Peter HOLMES wrote: > Last weekend I decided to work on the minimal range of papers regarding my > DAVISON ancestors and its not been easy!
