Hi Vanessa... I have found your name in my search of the Cubitt Ancestry - more precisely whilst tracing back to Frederick Joseph DCM ! A Martin and Nicola from Hertfordshire have also come to light. To enlighten you, I am the Granddaughter of Elizabeth Mary Anne Cubitt born 1884 who married in 1906 thus changing her surname to Robery. They had 7 surviving children and my Father was one of their Sons Frederick Alfred, born in 1915. She named her children mostly after her own siblings - i.e. Lilian - Albert - Arthur - William - Leslie and Hilda. I will say that I have only just begun my search and have a long way to go. They had such large families who in turn did the same , and to add to the mix passed down the names too! Clearly before the days of television!! If you feel we are 'connected' do make contact. Kind Regards. Rita

Hi Ann thank you for info. Stephen Cubitt is my Great Great Grandfather, Fred is my Great Grandfather and Fred son was called Frederick he was my grandfather. I have birth certs for all the above three and marriage certs also. I think the other person had a problem with Stephens mother maiden name for some reason. But I have the confirmation of Stephens mother & father, I think were it gets confusing is Stephens father William was married twice. Thanks once again for help. Vanessa

all above children mmn = Evans

Hi All thanks for all info Fred Cubitt born 1913 was my grandfather. His father is the Fred in army records and Stephen was my Great Great grandfather. I have all birth Certs for these and marriage certs, I think maybe my tree is correct and maybe the other person has got it a little wrong somewhere. I do not think contacting this person is a good idea as they might not like to be told there tree is wrong. Never mind I will carry on researching as I have been doing. :-D

What does that person claim is wrong in your tree?
It could be their tree that is wrong.
Some people do not like to admit they are wrong.

Have contacted some people who share my great great grandfather on there trees. One has told me I have got my tree wrong but how can that be when I have birth & marriage certs for all concerned. :-S

Ok I am going to try the free trail will let you know what happens. Thanks. Vanessa :-D

I use Ancestry and Find My Past as well . I would also recommend a 14 day trial on Ancestry. It is easy to use, but I always use - the old search - rather than the new search facility on the site. There is an option on the search page

I thought ancestry was quite expensive? How good is it? and how easy are the searches?

i would recomend Ancestry or Find My Past if you want to upgrade for more records.

You can take a 14 day free trial to Ancestry. You have to give your debit or credit card details so you need to cancel before the 14 day trial is up otherwise you will get charged . When i took the trial first I cancelled on day 12 just to be safe.

I am not platinum - I use ancestry, and fmp for 1911.

Hi All. Thank you so much for your help. I have delved into this side of my family and asked questions of relatives and believe that the Fred Cubitt & Agnes Seager found are my Great Grandparents (99.9%) sure. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice, at the moment I am a standard member, what is the difference between standard and platinum I am thinking of upgrading. Vanessa :-)

Fred above appears to have died in 1918. Maybe this marriage could explain where the middle name of Barrett came from.

Spouse Surname: James Barritt
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1920

This pension record on Ancestery lists Fred (born Accrington) and his wife Agnes - formerly Seager as having a child Fred born on 8 October 1913.
Agree re certs

Edit - Fred above was invalided out of the army with heart problems

You need to buy some marriage and birth certificates to confirm what has been found.
Then we can try and find them in 1911 census, and previous, and their families.

The marriage of the parents for the birth that Patchem found?

Marriages Sep 1912 (>99%)

His Father's name will be on his marriage certificate, surely?
When and where did he die?
Thanks
