The LEAY / HOWARD / BURNETT / WILSON connection

The HOWARD branch is linked to my ALDRIDGE clan via Mary HOWARD, born in 1841, who became Mrs BURNETT, then Mrs WILSON after the death of her first husband James BURNETT.

She was the mother of Elizabeth BURNETT (who became Mrs ALDRIDGE) and is therefore the grandmother of my grandmother, Annie Leay PLIMMER (previously NUGENT, nee ALDRIDGE).

Mary's father was John Davies HOWARD and her mother was Johanna HOWARD (nee STANTON) who was born in France, a British Subject (as per 1851 census).

I do not know how to trace the birth of her mother, Johanna, so any advice most welcome.

HOWARD certificates I have so far include:






 







It is here we find the first reference to the LEAY name (not Leah) as in the middle name of my grandmother Annie Leay PLIMMER.

Just for you Aunty Beryl. x

Sunday, May 23, 2010

Beryl Enid NUGENT (nee LADYMAN)

I am sad to announce the passing of my Aunty Beryl (24th September 1934 - 22nd May 2010) after a long illness.

She taught me the joys of the card game "UNO" and I still play it with friends on our social evenings.

She cooked some fabulous meals for my father and I on many visits and I always remember as a child, the delicious thick bread and real butter I was given, whilst visiting my Gran who was staying with her and my Uncle Len, when my Gran had cancer.

Wish we had had more chance to chat, like we did when the "men" were doing the gardening, well that's what they told us. LOL!

love n hugs x

1911 census

Searched the census for my gran, Annie Leay ALDRIDGE but the only one that matches appears to be a in a different family.

I have searched for her parents William John and Elizabeth ALDRIDGE but again they appear to have different children than the previous census entries.

I am very confused about the whole thing and may only know the true answer if I view the original census page. As this is quite expensive then I will not be able to do this for sometime!

Watch this space!
