Family name interests HARTILL/ROLLASON/LOFFMAN/MULLIS

Hi

I'm new to this site and thought I'd post my interests and 2 brick walls I have.

HARTILL/ROLLASON/LOFFMAN/MULLIS

One family lived in Moland Street, Aston.

These are all from mostly Aston area of Birmingham.  Still trying to find Emma/Emily ROLLASON born abt 1853 father James ROLLASON a gun worker.

Elizabeth /Lizzie MULLIS died in 1901 Back of Miller Street Aston, death certificate gives approximate birth date of 1860.  Family are adamant that she was born in Motherwell in Scotland but no evidence has been found to support this.  So maybe she was daughter of Scottish parents?  Would welcome help if anyone has this name in their tree.
 
Re: Family name interests

Hello Timetraveller. I found an Eliza Mullis aged 19, in the 1881 census, no place of birth shown. Scroll down, she is almost at the bottom of the census entry.

Hi Cromwell
Thanks for your reply. I haven't come across these names in my HARTILL family yet but it is a VERY large family.

Thanks again

Re: Family name interests

Thank you Di.Poppit. I will look into these. Have been trying to find a marriage for Elizabeth/Lizzie MULLIS to Alex/Alexander LOFFMAN. But have had no luck there either. All I know is that they both 'married out of their faiths', so maybe it was a register office wedding.

Interestingly there is a WHEELER on the same page. One of my grt grandmothers was a WHEELER so there might be a link there also.

Thanks again

Hi my name is Jason Loffman and I am trying to research my family tree. My father is Geoffrey Loffman and his mother was Ivy Loffman and Frank Loffman, I cannot find any information on Frank Loffman, I have nothing really to go on as he was not talked about and I have only really found out I had a grandad called Frank. If anyone knows that a Frank Loffman married a Ivy Mercer in Birminhgam I think I would be grateful
 
Hi Jason
welcome to the group,hope we can help you .
Do you have any dates that might help,there are a number of people with the names you mention,so a date would narrow it down a little.
Good luck in your search

Colin
 
:angel: There is this one in the 1901 census (If you think this could be them, someone else may be able to give you the actul census image. Also the name could be a trancription erra). However as Colin said more dates would be of more help:

Name.‚.. Parent or Spouse.‚.. Birth Year.‚.. .‚.. BirthPlace.‚.. .‚.. .‚..Relation.‚.. .‚..Civil Parish.‚.. .‚..County
Frank Lappman.‚.. .‚..Alexander,.‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚...‚..Aston.‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚.. .‚..

There are Loffmans in the Birmingham area in 1901censux but there is no Frank among them..

Hope this helps.
 
Hartill

I have just discovered the surname Hartill in my family tree.

Mary Ann Reeves (born 1836) married Thomas Hartill on the 7th March 1859 at St Phillips - Birmingham. They are shown on the 1881 census as living at 11 Proctor Street, Aston (where a lot of my family lived).

They had Elizabeth (1861) - James (1862) - Alice (1867) - Maria (1870) - Charles (1874) and Mary A (Ann I think) in 1877.

James is on the 1891 census - wife called Martha and a son called George aged 9 1/2.

Cheers
Gobby
