Find Ancestors

These are the names and birth dates/places etc for the grandchildren of Jessie and George Thompson... I believe they are correct.

Joan Thompson.... b 1927 - West Ham..............Children of Albert Edward Thompson and Mary A. White
Joyce Thompson...b 1928 - West Ham

Beryl V. Ablitt.........b 1926/7 - Romford Essex....Child of Bertha Elizabeth Thompson and Henry C. Ablitt

Joan Hewston .......b 1924 - Romford..................Children of Jessie Edith Thompson and George Hewston
Iris L. Hewston.......b 1932 - West Ham


Adam Stanford ......b 1955? or 1964?...................Child of Iris L. Hewston and Arthur R. Stanford (second marriage)
Some confusion on the date of Adam's birth... one idea is parent's married in 1955 and he is born in 1964

These children of Jessie and George Thompson either have no children... or I have not found them:

Iris Thompson and husband William Elves
Charles Thompson.... perhaps Charles did not marry??

Flick: I do not understand what is posted on the Electoral Roll.....
I just heard of it this week.... as a place where live people might be listed..

I have not searched for these people in "search trees" here.
I am new to this site.... just learning about how to best use it.

I have not checked friendsreunited or facebook..... probably a good way to find Adam.

I did give all of the info I have on these people.

Jax: Thanks for the heads up on Ancestry.... maybe i'll look for a few marriage certs!!

The info on an Electoral Roll is the name only of each person who is eligible and registered to vote at his/her address in the UK.

Each is recorded under his/her CURRENT name, so looking for females requires that you know if they have married......and to whom.

Do make time to use 'search trees'............you MAY get lucky!

Any thoughts on the info I took the time to find for you?

Current ER's are available online at www.192.com......for a price!

And not everyone who is on the ER is on 192........many, many people now choose to withold their details from the public version of the Roll. I certainly do!

Can I just point out that for the Thompson girls you did NOT give quite all of the info.....you failed to include their second name initials.

Every scrap of info makes a vital difference

Hi Flick....
Great info... I'm going to work with it this morning..... Have to spread out my papers and add in your info. I will let you know where it all fits in. Thank YOU :)

I think you are not in the UK? as you do not know the content of the electoral roll.
This gives helpful information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_roll


One can also search here - http://www.theukelectoralroll.co.uk/ - as well as 192.com. For both, one has to pay.
