Find Ancestors

Thanks Janey
That was not really for you, more for any body else searching the name as we did a lot of searching for her as Barnes Wilson and she was only Wilson and I did notice that the tree I am attached to on Ancestry have been searching the Long Name which will obviously be a waste
I did have a look at those sites, sadly none state they were up the Clyde could have been in the navy part that is not released yet

Hi Jock

Just seeing this thread again reminded me.........did you ever do an Electoral Roll look up for the address Sarah was last known to be at in 1953? It might be worth it to see who else was living at that address and to see how long she was there until.

Hi Mary
No I never did anything like that, would not know where to start.
How does one do that sort of thing.

Hi Jock

Sorry, I didn't come back to your thread until today :-((

This Brompton Library appears to be the most local library to Cromwell Road. Their contact details and email address are on there. It would be worth ringing them 1st to see if they hold the Electoral Rolls for 1952 - 1954. If they don't have them, they should be able to tell you who does.

They may make a charge, some do some don't.

Good luck.

Thanks Mary
Will check that out tomorrow

Hi All
Just a quick update
Gave instructions to 1st Locate to try and trace my Mother, Sadly this has come to nothing, they don't charge if they don't find,so their comunication is short and sweet.
Dear Mr A Barnes-Wilson

This might well be as far as I can go without spending a fortune.
Only time will tell.

Hi To everybody
This is my swansong from Genes as my subscription runs out tomorrow 27 April 2010
I will be able to be found at Ancestry under Barnes-Wilson family Tree.
I have found it a better program and better searching the message boards don't look so good though.
A BIG THANKYOU to all you wonderful people who helped me find my mother,sadly I only seem to be able to get as far as 1953 at the moment, thats the problem with been common and Wilson too flipping many of them.
Lots of love and thanks to all.
Jock

Hi Jock

I was wondering how you were getting on with your search.

Did you ever get in contact with the library for the Electoral Roll for 1952 - 1954 to see who else was living there then?

Good luck Jock, hope you find some more answers.

Mary

You have my email address Jock so if I or we here can ever be of help on anything you run into, don't hesitate to ask - I can always post in your thread to call in the troops. ;)

You can also still use the GR private-message system to communicate with anyone you've already been in touch with here even after your paid account lapses.

Be sure to keep your email address up to date in your GR account. That way if anyone does contact you through this system, you'll get the notice by email.

Gest wishes!
