Martin,
First things first no I do not charge I do it for the thrill of the chase!!
I have nearly completed my tree and enjoy helping others who are stuck and need help breaking those brick walls!!!
Unless you subscribe to Ancestry, Find My Past etc then come on here and ask for help with cencus info this saves you alot of time finding children and also parents, the problem is they only cover 10 year periods from 1841 ~ 1901 and we are all sat waiting for the 1911 cencus to be released later this year.
A few free sites that will help you are
http://www.freebmd.org.uk
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp
But these will really only help you as you get further back.
There are loads of others but these do help.
Can you tell me where your father and grand father were born and died.
The more info you can give me the less work I have to do and the quicker the results!!!
Kirsty

Martin,
Right pooooooooooooo!!!
What was your grandmother's name?
Also do you know where & when your Grandfather died?
And am I right in thinking all their children were born in India?
|
|
Kirsty.. whats with the Poooooooooooo ?
Sorry to be so vague, I dont know much about my dads side unfortunately...
I have my fathers uk passport, Born 1st August 1929 in AHAMADABAD.
I was told a long time ago that my father came over to UK with his brothers and sisters when he was 10 and lived at an address near Twickenham.
Family gossip is that my grandfather served in the British Army in India { we have a British Army medal, inscribed on the side; Lance Corporal P R PENMAN. Bombay Railway }
We think that, possibly, whilst he served there he married an Indian lady, I do not have any details on her at all.
Regards
Martin.....

Martin,
pooooooooooooooooo!!! ~ was because this is going to be hard!!
I have asked someone to look on the incoming passenger lists for me to hopefully give us some more information.
I can't find a birth for your grandfather so I am thinking he was not born in the UK.
I am going to try and find his death which at least will give us his age.

Kirsty,,,,,
So.... my dad, LAWRENCE, born in India, came to the UK in 1939, with his mum and brothers and sisters...... perhaps later joined by his father PERCIVAL, who remarried an ELSIE WOODS ??!!
i wonder what happened to EMILY ?
We used to go and visit his sister NOREEN in Hanworth and i remember her husband REGINALD GARROD...
I also fondly remember CLARENCE and PEGGY,, all now passed away.
SOOOOO much to think about and take in...
Im just going to have a think for a few mins,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

hi, i am a mad mum of three. could u see if there is a marriage for george edward bridge born 1911 bermondsey to a kate eggleton circa 1912. this would have been a second marriage. his first marriage was in 1941 and he died in 1987. so somewhere in between. is this possible to find. many thanks

Lorna,
I will see what I can find but please remember there are at least 4 pages per year and I am searching 46 years!!!
Do you know if there were any children from the first marriage or even the second to try and narrow it down a bit?
MARTIN,
Death
