Hi Helen

Found a birth for Edith --

Edith Emma Hankinson 2nd qtr 1867 Warwick 6d 501

Death --
Joseph Horton Hankinson 1st qtr 1870 Warwick 6d 353

And on the IGI a birth --

JOSEPH ORTON HANKINSON
Event(s): Christening: 10 APR 1831 Stockingford, Warwick, England

Parents: JAMES HANKINSON & HANNAH

This is a submitted entry, not extracted and will need confirming with Parish Records at Warwick.

If you send for the birth cert for Edith you will find the place of birth and her mothers name on there.

Many thanks Bren. I had managed to find Edith's birth but not the other 2 bits of info.

Edith is my husband's Grandmother. He only told me that he had a "Birmingham" connection at the weekend and we have been married for 28 years!!

No secret about my connection, too many brummie accents at our wedding for that!

Thanks
Helen

WOW!! Alberta, what can I say but thank you yet again!!

Every time I place a query on this site you come up trumps.

My husband is very impressed too. I keep telling him he should try using the internet more for his family history research but he has never been keen.

As a result I have far more info in the 4 years I have been looking for my lot then he has on his and he has been doing this for nearly 15.

Still, I suppose this isn't a race but a journey; to find out where we came from so we can see where we are going.

Thanks again
Helen
 
I see it as a journey also and there are always new things to discover.

A bit more info.
George Preston Brown died in March 1891 on the census his widow is living with her 2 sons John GP and Hubert at 169 Cattell Rd,Deritend, Birmingham.

Edith Emma Hankinson married to Hugh Grist was my grandmother.I vaguely remember her -she died about 1943.
My father was her youngest child Kenneth David Grist born 1913 died 1983.
My mothers name was Rhoda Bayne formerly Dew and they were married in 1934.I was born in 1943.
He subsequently remarried I believe but not sure.
I am exploring John Wesley Grist son of Seth Grist and brother of Hugh.

I have sent you a private email but to add to it......I understand that Kenneth David Grist did remarry but I am not sure when. I think my husband knows. I'll ask him tonight.

Very best wishes
Helen
