Hi Pauline , have you tried Googling Quiney. first one that comes up when I did , is a long list of Quiney researchers on Genforum, at least one said they have an extensive Family tree they will share. You may just strike it lucky and find someone that can break down this wall for you.

It was a home birth, and no hospitals in those days for maternity cases, so nothing to look for there. I have searched the GRO, but not any 'unknowns' - however, surely they would have been registered together? There is only one place for burial at that time in that area, and I have a full print out of that name, which is a very uncommon one (Quiney), so it was easy for the cemetery to do for me. I am going to call Cheltenham Register Office today because this is giving me grey hair (or more of it I should say!).

Hi Derek Yes, I have done that, but none of them are directly related, they are all related but a very long way back. We are only talking a little time ago really, 1895 - and I have got all the family back to 1733. The main thing to consider with this is that the family lived in Cheltenham, but that is not where they came from originally. They only landed there about 1840, they all came from Stratford - and no-one is researching the family in Cheltenham at all, except for me. I shall make further enquiries today.
