This week, we are focussing on your mother's father's mother's father's mother.

If you want to take part, just start a new thread on this board and put your 3x-great-grandmother's name in the Title. If you don't know her name then put whatever you like in the title!

Copy the following form and fill in the answers that you already have, then over the course of the next week you try to fill in the blanks and everyone else helps you. If you're lucky enough to have all the information already, then you can still post it up if you want, so that search engines can pick it up.

Can you fill in all of the following information about that person:

Name - "official" name and what they were known as
Date and place of birth
Names of parents
Date and place of baptism - if applicable
Details of each of his or her marriages - if any
Occupation(s) - if any
Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!).
Date, place and cause of death
Date and place of burial.
Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable
Memorial inscription - if any


Adoptive or step-3x-great-grandparents welcome! Also you may post up threads for both your own ancestor and your OH's ancestor.

Kiterunner, could you please correct my title for Isabella Clay?

I meant to put "later Newton", but it came out as "late Newton" and I didn't notice!

Thanks!:o

Oh dear, my mother's father's mother's father's mother is Edna Newman Purvey Robins and I've already put her details on this board, but I can't find out who I should have put instead!

Could you let me know, so I can post that one and then maybe you could swap them round?

Yours, very confused!

You posted her up in week 10, so she should have been your mother's father's mother's mother's mother.

Thank you KiteRunner for your speedy and efficient response!

Wouldn't it be great if we had different names for all the different great xs to avoid confusing simple folk like me!

I'll post up that lady this week then.

Calamity!

I've posted the thread and put in the title her death as 1871 when it was 1861! I can't concentrate, I think I'm getting a cold.
