Misty, how wonderful! I'm so happy for you!
What a wonderful ending and I had such fun working on this thread.
Dea, I was just thinking of you one day this week when I didn't know what to make for supper. Was wishing we were still in contact.
No, I never did learn how to use chopsticks. (too old to learn new tricks!)
Supper tonight, in honour of my birthplace, roast beef & Yorkshire pud.
Margaret

Cheeky thing Misty - still laughing at my expense (re PPL !!)

I wouldn't care but I love those Jeans - I have since worn them a few times and washed them SEVERAL times and the dye still rubs off!! - Not quite so much now though so there is hope!

Morning All

Yes Dea, we did have such fun. PPL still makes me smile...sorry
Wonder if Margaret ever did learn how to use chop stick's...

I was up most of the night, again!!!, sending off details to Ida to take with her on Saturday, how wonderful it will be to find out about my ggrandma..maybe even get to see photo's.

mgnv...I shall take a look at that info...I'm sure your right about Thomas and his birth cert....easy to see why he would want to sort that situation out...just wish I was able to find him now !!

Janice...I'm still grinning...huge phone bill, I think !

Thank You All once again

Look up "Thomas" in E Ward 1905q4:

Births Dec 1905 (>99%)
Fallowfield Thomas E. Ward 10b *
Gilpin Thomas E. Ward 10b 720
Nixon Thomas E. Ward 10b 720
Walton Thomas Dent E. Ward 10b 719

Click on the spectacles and view the images. You'll see there is not a real ref for Fallowfield, just a xref to J/28 in the page foot

Births Jun 1928 (>99%)
Fallowfield Thomas Gilpin E.Ward 10b 1118

My guess is that, probably triggered by the passage of the legitimacy act, that Thomas finally decided he'ld get his b.cert sorted. I doubt there was any question of an inheritance. It's likely he, or his mum, had an address (or some other means of contact) for his dad.

Thank you for the update Misty - how lovely to have found someone 'over there' who not only shares your family but also your interest in researching it.

I am sure you will will find out a great deal more now.

I have just spent ages re-reading all this - didn't we have some fun ?????

I wonder what Margaret is having for supper tonight?

Nice to see it was all worthwhile.

Keep in touch,

Dea x

What a lovely end to a search.
Hope you can meet them one day.I am sure you will be having many phone conversations!

Hi All

I have just had my first phone call from...Canada.

Ida Fallowfield, wife of the late Gordon Fallowfield, Grandson of Thomas Fallowfield( 1859) and Margaret Kyle( 1860)..nephew of Isabella Fallowfield(1861) and so second cousin to my Thomas Fallowfield and Margaret W Gilpin( my GGrandma)..I think that's right !!

Gordon has gone a long way back with the tree, since his death in 2004, Ida has continued and was very keen to know more about "my" side of the family, as it appears, not a lot is known...she is on the phone as I type, trying to find more.

As it turn's out, next Saturday she is off to a "Fallowfield" reunion...and will be meeting up with the grandchildren of my GGrandma( Margaret Gilpin)

Well folk's, what can I say..except without all of you, none of this would have been possible.

A HUGE Thank You...what Gem's you are

Dea
Margaret Manson
Janice
Lost For Words
Jayne
Moira...for passanger details
mgnv...for phone numbers

Hi Janice...sorry didnt see your post before I replied,

Yes another ! this time in the name Gilpin...as you suggested..

Thank you for the info on Legitimacy act.

Misty x

Not sure Margaret...thats what I was hoping, dont know any thing about Legitimacy act.Would there be a re reg if biological father acknowledged the birth at a later date, or could it be re reg in step father's name.

google it? taken this from
http://www.kessler.co.uk/dtwt/articles/Barlow_Children_and_Issue.html

Legitimacy Act 1926 Legitimacy Act 1959 Legitimacy Act 1976.




Legitimation was first introduced, with effect from January 1, 1927, by the Legitimacy Act 1926. Section l(l) of the Act introduced the concept (long established in civil law jurisdictions) of legitimation by the subsequent marriage of the parents of the illegitimate child. Section 1(2), however, contained a bar on legitimation where either of the parents was married to a third party at the time of the birth of the illegitimate child (s. 8 also expressly extended the circumstances in which legitimation under foreign law would be recognised). The Act made consequential modifications affecting the property rights of children legitimated under section 1, including the introduction by section 3(l)(b) and (4) of a rule of construction to the effect that in dispositions "coming into operation" after the date of legitimation (and subject to any contrary intention expressed in such disposition) a legitimated child and his spouse, children or remoter issue were to be entitled to take any interest as if the legitimated child had been born legitimate This formula allowed for only one legitimated person in the chain of succession. Thus a gift to the grandchildren of A would entitle the legitimated child of a legitimate child of A or a legitimate child of a legitimated child of A to take, but not a legitimated child of a legitimated child. The modification -of the rules of construction contained in section 3(l)(b) operated only on dispositions coming into operation after the date of legitimation. The Act did not in terms state whether a will was deemed to "come into operation" on the date of its execution or the date of the testator's death. This point has never arisen for decision, but it is clear from dicta in Re Hepworth's that it is the latter.

did he need this to be able to make a claim to a will i wonder

so another birth index then!

Misty, does that have something to do with when his father acknowledged him as his son and he was re-registered under his father's name?

Hi All,
