humphreys Ada b: 1909 mum flora dad thomas sydney swap for bmd on other humphreys

T

tsarah

knowlegable brummie
Yet anothe lost relative - I'm so careless, ayway.

In 1911, 111, Walford Road, Sparkbrook, Sparkhill, Birmingham, with my grandma, Maria Farmer, 56, now widowed from 2nd husband, Henry Farmer (my grandad) is Margaret Newsum nee Mc Cracken, 30, Louisa Helen Farmer, 23, my dad, William Kirby Farmer, 15, my other aunt, Amy Farmer, 12, Frank Mc Cracken (possibly emigrated to Australia), 12 and ADA HUMPHREYS, 2.

APB for Ada, her mum was thought to have been Flora Humphreys nee Mc Cracken (33 in 1911, if alive), who married her dad, Thomas Sydney Humphreys in 1903. Would love to know what happened to ada, if she married or had any children of her own. Been unable to trace her through the electoral rolls.

Have HUMPHREYS data - burial records for a William Humphreys and 1911 census for a railway engine fireman, Robert Humphreys and Florence Humphreys, who had son William Henry Humphreys. These aren't now believed to be relatives and would be happy for them to be rehomed to anyone they are useful to

Thanks for reading, Sarah.
 
Re: Ada humphreys b: 1909 mum flora dad thomas sydney swap for bmd on other humphreys

These details fit, but no guarantee that it's her...
Ada Humpries (note spelling - there are no Ada Humpreys birth that fit) b. 3rd quarter 1908 Kings Norton (registration district) vol 6c page 447

Ada Harriet Humphries / William Henry Thomas Beswick marriage 4th quarter 1929 Birmingham South vol 6d page 86a.
If that is her, they lived at 49 Sherbourne Rd, Balsall Heath in 1930; and at 78 Arlington Rd, Warstock 1939-1950 at least.

thats what i thought sarah. dont get too excited though, its probably totally wrong :rolleyes: :)
 
Re: Ada humphreys b: 1909 mum flora dad thomas sydney swap for bmd on other humphreys

If she was born 1908/9 (2 in 1911 census) then she wouldn't appear in electoral rolls until the year she was 21 (1929/30). Sorry.

Thanks all - as luck would have it Ada's relative do now appear to be on 'Ancestry' - and have been contacted by my kindly 4th cousin on my behalf! Waiting with bated breath for them to reply.
