Thanks Vikki, but I'm not sure whether it's him. Ashbury seems a bit too far away from Reading, which he gives as his birthplace. My problem is that sometime between 1871 and 1881 he leaves the area completely and gets married in Worcestershire, it's making it very difficult to trace him. I suppose he must have travelled up on the rivers/canals. If there are any other possibilities for him I'd be interested to see them, but otherwise thanks for your help anyway :)

Hi Elizabeth There are no other likely matches but as you said he may not be living with his family, He may appear later on when the other counties are uploaded Vikki

Elizabeth Report 11 Mar 2004 13:33

That's true, maybe he's half way there.. Would you mind checking 1871 Worcs for him? He ends up in Lower Mitton, but maybe he's somewhere else in Worcestershire in 1871. Thanks so much for all your help.

Hi Vicki, I am trying to find details of my mother's two sisters but am getting nowhere, I do not have a great deal information,however, First I need birth details of my aunt Truda Bacon she would have been born between 1923 and 1928 have no idea where! Secondly I need details of birth and marriage of her sister Patricia Bacon born somewhere between 1924 and 1929 don't know where, the family moved around so much. Patricia married a Polish man Miertik I think that is how you spell it and their surname was Karpinski and Karpinska apparently the man and woman have an a or an i at the end. They went on to have two children Maria and Teddy and lived in High Wycombe Bucks, Patricia died I believe in the eighties in Kent, sorry to give you all this but it might help your search. I have drawn a blank! Thankyou so much Jackie
