That's interesting. I wonder if Hokmam was just a mis-spelling or if they changed their name.

Have established that Annie(Nancy) 's sister Elizabeth was known as Rhoda and her 1st husband (Th. Moody) was killed on the Somme. Elizabeth Ruddle does seem to be their mother but another family tree I found suggests father's name is William David Hickman rather than the William Henry Hickman...

Really.. Gosh - curiouser and curiouser!

George is the surname - lived in Saffron walden. By the way, Nancy's mother came from Richmond, Yorks according to my father's notes. Does this fit with Elizabeth Ruddle? I can't track her down.

That's interesting, thank you. My father was convinced that Nancy's father came from Cork and he never mentioned an Ernest or Arthur. I met sister Rhoda too and she was older. I'll have another dig based on your info.

Her sister Rhoda married Robert George, Agnes married Will Kennard, Mick married Freda ?, Alice married Albert Gregory and my grandmother, as you correctly said, married Horace Henry Langley. I wonder if her parents names can be found on any of their birth or marriage cetificates? perhaps...

I haven't found a marriage or birth certificate yet. I don't think Nancy (Annie) had a brother called Ernest.

My late father reckoned that his maternal grandfather came from Cork but I can't find any trace so far. There is another William Henry Hickman but he's not the right one.

Thank you - that's interesting. There was definitely a sister known as Rhoda. I had a photo soemwhere and I met her when I was a child -she looked just like my grandmother. However, I am not sure about the other siblings. What was her mother's name? Was Annie/Nancy put into care, do you know? I...

B. date12/06/1895 in Dudley, Worcs I think but as far as I aware, was brought up in B'ham. I don't know when she moved. She may have been the youngest child and she may have been in care of some sort.

That's right. Horace Henry Langley.

I am looking for more information on my grandmother Nancy or Annie Hickman 1895 -1975. Siblings = Alice, Mick, Agnes, Rhoda but who were their parents and what happened to them? I think father was Irish and perhaps mother died young?
