Hi everyone, I have started doing my family tree and although I've managed quite far back on my mom's dad's side, I have become stuck with mom's mom!!!
Her name was Mary Ann Phipps and she married Bernard Tidmarsh in February 1915. On her marriage certificate her age is given as 28.
Her father was Robert Elias Phipps (died 1914 Kings Norton aged 53)
Her mother was Sarah Jane Phipps (aged 39 on 1901 census)
She was married from the same address as Robert in Kings Norton.
On the 1901 census her age was given as 18, so is it possible she knocked a few years off her age when she married?
I've already found out that at least one of her sons (Albert Frederick) was born "out of wedlock" and can'tfind my mom's other brother Percy, either!
I think my grandfather's side being quite trackable must have made me overconfident
I would like to know where they were in 1891.
I thought I'd found Robert in Walsall, but there was no mention of Sarah or Mary,so I must have got the wrong Robert Elias!
Sorry for the long post,but I've tried to include as much info as possible.
Has anyone got any suggestions,please?
Thanks
