Hi Rosemary, Perhaps these are your two ladies... Freebmd has a marriage record for an Emily TELLING m Sept 1/4 1876 in Clifton to either Henry Richard SMITH or John Christopher BORDER.

Hi Karen, This family certainly has it's puzzles. You will note that in the 1871 census that Emily is listed as a nurse. The person she was living with died later in the same year. As for Louisa, the school mistress has died by 1881 and the rest of that family are living elsewhere in Gloucestershire with no Louisa (Mary) in site. Even though Emily was born at South Cerney you will have no doubt noted that Louisa was born at Duntisbourne Abbotts. I've even waded through the 1881 census for South Cerney (both regisitration districts of about 20 pages each) in case there was a serious transcription error but nothing showed up as posibilities. Maybe I'm just going to have to assume that they both got "zaped up by those little green men from Mars"!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for looking.

Hi Katherine Thank you so much for your link to the archives site of NLW. It has enabled me to identify an early ancestor, Evan Gravell, a miller in Cydweli in 1671, mentioned in the Muddlescombe deeds. I had read other information about that estate, but this was a real step forward. Thanks again. Regards Elizabeth ps. I think I have a Gravell-Dwnn connection somewhere, - if you have any information about this I would be garteful if you would pass it on. >

Jenny, Yet again I thank you and wouldn't the world be a better place if there were more people like you around. Good luck with visiting the records office. Where do you live? I am in Whitminster. What are the names of the people you have interests in? Speak soon hopefully. Regards Sue

Sorry, the trouble with Ancestry is you forget who you're looking for when you keep changing the search fields. Have you considered the Mary who is married to Henry Stephens. Her place of birth in 1881 &91 is Winstone, which is about a mile from Duntisbourne Abbots. in 1901 she's gone with Duntisbourne Abbots. I haven't been able to spot a marriage yet.

Hi Listers, I'm hoping that someone on the list can give me some ideas on places to look for the above 2 people. In the 1871 census, Emily Telling is at South Cerney (she was born there about 1830 - Emily Dunn) along with her daughter Louisa Telling aged 12. Emily's husband George Telling and their son Frank are living at Ashton Keynes, Wiltshire (which is where George was born). It appears that Emily & George had seperated which also fits in with the family story. This is the last record I have been able to find for Emily & Louisa. I've tried the 1881, 1891 & 1901 census's (Ancestry web site) using just christian names in case there is a transcription error or they both had different names later. I've also followed the families into the 1881 census who they were both living with in 1871 but with no luck. >From the Free BMD web site I have not been able to find a death record or a marriage record for either (George died in July 1882). So any ideas on where else to search would be much appreciated. Bye, Rosemary M Chalmers Palmerston Bookkeeping Services Darwin NT Australia rosechal@iinet.net.au

Hi, I've had a bit of a hunt around as well. It's interesting that Emily and Louisa are living seperately in 1871. Emily lodging with an "out of doors" pauper and Louisa is boarder with the school mistress. I can't find either in 1881 but when I searched for all females born South Cerney around 1860 I got these figures 28 1861 England Census 23 1871 England Census 10 1881 England Census 22 1891 England Census 14 1901 England Census There seems to be quite a few missing in 1881. Maybe thats a problem with Ancestry's indexing or maybe there are some pages missing. They can't have died then reappeared in 1891!! This could be "Louisa" in 1891. Interestingly their is a 13 year old William Telling, born London lodging nearby "Just left school". Maybe Louisa went to London and had a baby, maybe he's nothing to do with her.

Just a follow-up in case anyone is interested! After an excursion from Windsor to Stroud yesterday (Sunday) we located the building we were looking for. It is named Stroud Town Cemetary and in a most lovely situation. Part of it is a nature reserve and the area is huge. Of course, the plot we were looking for is part of the reserve which is covered with brambles - a very prickly task to expose the grave. Anyway, we found what we were seeking and it's thanks to all those who very kindly helped me. My grateful thanks, Margery
