Who is Janet?

[Merry]

Yes, good point, OC!

Ooooh, thanks Kate! That's brilliant! At least I know who she is now.

And the child, Lilian, would seem to be my relative:

Births Jun 1893
Buck Lilian W. Derby 8b 628

Which is great as this line of my tree didn't go in for marriage and children so was in danger of dying out!

I wonder what happened to Janet and Lilian?

[Merry]

Oooh, she is listed as Lilian Buck, stepdaughter, in 1911!

William Stanley Nicholls was also of Sandringham Road Tuebrook when he died in 1937.

Son, Sydney Vernon Nicholls, seems to have married in West Derby district and died in Liverpool.



William and Janet's other son, Edward Stanley, died in 1912 in West Derby district.

I can't see a death for Janet, or a sensible marriage/death for Lilian.

I would definitely have agreed with you, but :

Name: Janet Goodsir
Year of Registration: 1866
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Bridlington (1837-1937)
County: Yorkshire - East Riding
Volume: 9d
Page: 300

I was just trying to be certain about her age before having another look for her death.

Hmmm, this is pobably Janet's death (missed it before!) as she did say she was 40 in 1911:

Deaths Mar 1916
Nichols Janet 46 W.Derby 8b 646

But it's Lilian I really need to find!

There is a Lillian Buck marrying in Bridlington seeing as her mother had died and probably the only living blood may have been in Bridlington where her mother was born I suppose it could be! Unfortunately there's a few Lillian Bucks getting married over the right period this one just stood out for me because of Bridlington!

Lillian Buck
Spouse Surname: Hylton
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1916
Registration district: Bridlington
Registration county (inferred): Yorkshire - East Riding
Volume Number: 2d
Page Number: 657

Edit to say: seeing as she's using Buck in 1911 that's probably what she married in and if you find her marriage you'll find her real father I expect she put his name Buck! Just have to find the right marriage

Thanks very much Maggie - that seems reasonable, doesn't it. I looked for a death for a Lil* Hylton, hoping I could match up her age, but there isn't anything sensible. I'll keep looking........

There's a tree on Ancestry with Janet Goodsir born in 1866 to Thomas Henry Goodsir and Catherine Horsley marrying William Stanley Nicholls it's public:-

http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/291...30148607?ssrc=

They have Lillian as a Nicholls. They don't have much on Lillian but...

[Merry]

Thanks Maggie!

I see Richard Edward W Hylton didn't die either so maybe they emigrated?!!

There's a Hylton/Buck birth reg in 1919 but it's in Norfolk.........hmmmmm...

[Merry]

There's a tree stating:

Richard Edward Walter Hylton (b. 6/10/1877, d. 22/1/1956)


and says he married a 'Lillian'! Says there were two children, the one on FreeBMD and another one (they could be alive)

Ah, found his death reg now as Ricard E W Hylton! He was b in Worthing, Sussex and died in Norwich district.

I'm still not having much luck with Lil(l)ian
