recieved max bresner marriage certificate to beatrice goddard.
max's father is on the certificate and his name is also max bresner and he was deceased when the marriage took place in 1895.
so although im delighted to have gone back a futher generation in my family tree, i know its going to be a struggle to trace this max as ive exhausted all information on 'max bresner'.

just thought id update you and thank you once again for all your help on this

[jubieanna]

been in howells many times dotty. its a small world eh

[Barmaid]

Try searching in the JewishGen indices - these names sound very jewish to me. Probably originating in Russia.

[jubieanna]

which genealogy site do you both use?

[Barmaid]

lol - which don't I use!

Normally ancestry.co.uk, also findmypast. I also use familysearch.org. The rest I dip in and out of when I need them.

Leon died in Cardiff in 1902 so Mary Ann obviously remarried.

There is a May Bresner born 1891 Swansea on the 1911, could you check her out please barmaid?

[dotty.]

I use ancestry.co.uk, familysearch,org plus it's pilot, i can also use the 1911 site to do general searches that can match people to each other and not always need to see the transcriptions.

[Barmaid]

I can't find Reuben anywhere.

As for May, she was in service at the household of the Davies family. It's a small hotel (whose name I can't read, next to the townhall in Swansea). She was born in Swansea and is noted as single.

ive been using the library to use ancestry but its limited so cant access all of it. my OH is fed up of me going down there all the time so ive got permission to spend some money and subscribe to a site. think i'll go with ancestry.

[dotty.]

There are only 9 instances of Bresner on the 1911 census, there is an obvious family group living in Birkenhead,father James 29, mother Ellen 28 and 2 small children then there is a Annie Bresner in Godstone surrey aged 24 and a Bernhard Bresner in Fulham aged 33, then the May in Swansea aged 20, it would be worth looking at them all for any connection

[dotty.]

jubie just do the monthly subscription at £12.95 a month, you can do it with your debit card and i you don't want it any month just don;t pay it and it's not an issue, saves paying a chunk up front.

[dotty.]

you get the premium membership which is all UK records, if you want the worldwide that is £18,95 a month and gives you access to US and Australian records but is not really vital

[jubieanna]

thanks dotty will do the worldwide one i think as connections to egypt etc.

[Barmaid]

I think May is a spelling or transcription error. The only births I can find for between 1890 and 1892 for a similar spelling are Bresnen.

[jubieanna]

thank you so so much for all your hard work on this.
ive burnt the dinner now so id better go and rescue it!!!
many many thanks ive got loads to go on now to try and find a connection

[dotty.]

Don't be fooled into thinking that ancestry's worldwide membership does what it says on the tin, it's abit like the world series, by worldwide they mean US and Canada!

[jubieanna]

oh right dotty thanks for that silly me to think it might actually mean the world! lol

[Barmaid]

If you do join ancestry, there are two trees on there that mention Max. Unfortunately, whilst they trace the Goddards quite a way, there is nothing further on Max.

[jubieanna]

thanks barmaid you and dotty have been a geat help
