Find Ancestors

Hi Jane I will send off for birth certificate for William & see what it says, I started doing my family tree (four branches of it!!) this time last year & have loads of help from people like yourself & I think without this help I would have given up long ago!! Thanks Deb

Hi John there are dozens of Robert Whitesides in Lancs, but none in Liverpool area, also would he be married? have found the best age wise is married to a Margaret but is an ag lab, as opposed to a carter. if he was still with parents, do you know their names or siblings names so i can narrow them down a bit for you? thanks Jane

Deb, i'll let you into a little secret................ tried saying Brodie with a Geordie accent, & voila, Broady !!!!! can't find a marriage for Agnes & Mr Brodie though, and no record of a death for Agnes Brodie or Broady. there is a record of births for both James & William though on FreeBMD, in South Shields. if it was me i'd send for Williams, just to confirm Agnes & get Mr Brodies name too, who i should then be able to get for you in 1851, have looked for Agnes already, but don't think she is a Brodie yet . .............................................................. 1891, 62 palmer terrace, wallsend, northumberland Brodie, James, 28 driller, b. jarrow, durham Brodie, mary, 20, Howden ........................................................................ OR 1891 17 Hardman st, linthorpe, Middlesboro Brodie, James, 27, ships yd, refitter?, durham Mary Ann 28 middlesboro Mark wm 6 ' James 4 '

Hello Jane, Could you please look in the1861 census for Lancs, most likely Liverpool /Toxteth Park area for Robert Whiteside aged about 22 a Carter Thanks in advance John

Hi I thank you once again for your help! William Brodie was my Grandfathers grandfather, I have him & James in 1881 living with the Blacket family as their nephews, not sure of the family connection there. I have William married in 1891 & 1901 but nothing of James yet!! I noticed the change of spelling with the name from Broady to Brodie which may be why I got stuck!! Thanks again Deb

Deb, i thought perhaps they were orphans, which is why they were in the workhouse, not going to help you find their parents though is it !! i'm just going to have a look on 1861 for you, that might show us something................................. be right back Jx right this looks like your Thomas: Deaths Sep 1871 ------------------------- Brodie Thomas 7 S.Shields 10a 500 so that rules him out any further now, do you have William & James in 1891 /1901? .............................................................. 2nd update................ looks promising: 1861 Agnes Broady abt 1833 Scotland Head Hedworth, Monkton and Jarrow Durham ( widow ) Jane Broady abt 1857 Haden, Northumberland, England Daughter Hedworth, Monkton and Jarrow Durham William Broady abt 1859 Haden, Northumberland, England Son Hedworth, Monkton and Jarrow Durham Peter Crerar abt 1839 Scotland Boarder Hedworth, Monkton and Jarrow Durham

Mary, i'm afraid the census in 1901 was taken before John's birth in September, so he wont be on it. Do you know his parents names, that i could look up?

Thanks for looking for John Dillon for me Jane, appreciate it, and no i'm not 100% sure he was still alive in 1851, was hoping i might be lucky, All the best Michael

Thanks for the offer in looking up Can you help me with a problem please? Details that I have is this Annie Emberleen Tucker father William Henry Tucker poosibly dec'd at the time of the marriage on 26 12 1903. age 23 died aged 46 (17 11 1947) making dob around 1879 - 1881 ish. residence at the time of the marriage was 5 dorchester grove, chiswick. (So if you can look up 1901 census as well I would be gratefull) I hope you can solve this problem. Regards and Happy new year. Justine

Hi Jane,can you look up the 1901 census for John William Maggs born Bristol in September 1901.........I know in 1937 he lived at 3 Backfields, York Street, St. Pauls, Bristol but would like to trace earlier address if any, many thanks Mary

Hi Jane Thanks for the info on the Brodie family. I'm sure it's the right family as in 1881 William & James are living with another family so not sure who parents were. What circumstances would they have been sent to a workhouse?? any ideas?? I wonder wht happenend to Thomas as I cant find him!! Many thanks DEb

Hi Jane Many thanks for 1851 census look up for Enstone - a large family. Karen

Hi Jane I haven't found them in Scotland on 1871 or 1881. Thanks very much for trying Jeanette

could you do a 1851 search for a thomas wright in temple guiting in gloucestershire or a mary wright same place his age should be abbout 60 hers should be about 55

Hi Julie, right, at first thought yeah, no probs................... then lol, i realised i was looking in Wales for a Davies, named John, roflmao unfortunately there is not one with Pentr Voilas connection, either born or living there, but i stopped looking after 200 of them in Denbighshire. so am afraid i'll have to wait until i can have some more info from you, a nearer age, wifes name, definate birthplace, etc sorry.............................. but it could be worse, they could be JONES !!!

Hi again Jane Following on from you finding my Davies family in Chester.... My Matthew Davies was born about 1816 in Pentr Voilas, Denbighshire. I know his fathers name was John and he was a wheelwright probably born circa 1795. Could you please look on the 1851 census to see if you could possibly find him in Pentr Voilas Denbighshire....Eternally grateful Regards Julie

Hi Jane Thanks so much. You are an absolute star. You have now idea how long it has taken me to find this elusive family....... They should have been Davis but turned out to be Davies..... Can't thank you enough Regards Julie
