*twiddles thumbs*

I have this family in 1901: Fanny Fancy abt 1887 Shadwell, London, England Daughter Poole St James Dorset Francis Fancy abt 1866 Shadwell, London, England Wife Poole St James Dorset John Fancy abt 1892 Poole, Dorset, England Son Poole St James Dorset Percy Fancy abt 1899 Poole, Dorset, England Son Poole St James Dorset Rellie Fancy abt 1889 Bethnal Green, London, England Daughter Poole St James Dorset Francis should be Frances and Rellie is Nellie. The missing Head of house is John Fancy - I don't know any more about him yet. The couple were married in 1884: Name: CHEEK, Frances Caroline Record Type: Marriages Quarter: December Year: 1884 District: Mile End Old Town County: London Middlesex Volume: 1c Page: 1006 ......Spouse John Fancy The daughter, Fanny, was reg as Frances Caroline, like her mum, in Q1 1888. There's another dau, Charlotte who was reg in Stepney in Q1 1886: she is a servant elsewhere in 1901. Stepney is the right district for Shadwell as place of birth. Please can anyone find them in 1891???? Sniff.....boo hoo..........I am going round in circles! Merry

I'm still getting blanks - will keep trying

Oh, and I can't find the mum before her marriage (1881 and 1871). Here's her birth reg: Births Dec 1865 Cheek Fanny Caroline Stepney 1c 460 Merry

Thanks for attempts so far! I suppose both Fancy and Cheek are up for massive transcription error!! I know I could buy some certs to find out about them, but I find it soooo frustrating when people ''vanish'' for decades at a time! Merry

not found her in 1871 or 1881 yet but had to add this poor unfortunate lass I found whilst looking in 1871: Fanny Cock abt 1864 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England Daughter St James Clerkenwell London thought it might cheer youup Z xx

Ooooh that's a bit Cheek(y)!! LOL Merry

right - I got this lass on both 1871 and 1881 (below is 1881) name is definitely Chick on both but she coul be worth beraing in mind: Fanny Chick abt 1865 Shadwell, Middlesex, England Servant 2 Caravan, West Ham, Essex, England

OOh well done, a travelling show!! Merry

How come you have all the nice funny names and i have boring names. Helen

Did have a good look for you as you are always so kind and help others but it has me beat I'm afraid. Good Luck Irene

Oh, don't worry Helen, they are not ''my'' names, but the ancestor's of the daughterin-law of the chap who is helping paint our windowframes at the mo!!! (anyone who cames within a three mile radius of our house tends to get asked about their family history....and these people actually WANTED to know.......) The decorator has been here two weeks and we have done his, his wife's and now his dau-in-law's all back to about 1800, except for these Cheeky Fancys!! They are lucky - they have some lovely names in their tree and all in Dorset Villages (except these Cheeky Fancys!). My hubby is v cross because after 20 years searching his grandfather was still never born!! LOL Merry
