Cresswell

rowan

Born a Brummie
ADA CRESSWELL b.1890 in Aston married ERNEST HARVEY 1918 Aston.

I'm assuming that ERNEST dies as she married JAMES HENRY BOTT in 1929 Birmingham.

I can't find any children from either union.

Nor can I find her death.
Both Ada and James moved to HAY ON WYE and I believe they died there sometime in the 1980's.

Please can some kind person look up 1901 census for me to find out if Ada had any siblings?

Thanking you so much :)

There was a Mrs Cresswell living next door to us on Hagley Road in the 50s, she was probably born 1890s by her age. I think her first name was Margaret.
 

WOW!!

Thank you all so much for that, I really am grateful.

I hope to be able to trace desendants of Ada's siblings and there are certainlly quiet a few aren't there?!!
