Find Ancestors

Hi Ever
Sorry bout delay but i have been trying to check all records for you,
I cannot find a Mary Ellen Maggs on the passenger lists, or a Mary Ellen Thomson (other than one, travelling with a Joseph but this was in 1919, so at that point she wouldnt have been Thomson)

I have also looked at the deaths overseas records from 1993 onwards and have nothing for her in the name of Thomson up to and including 2005, she could of remarried maybe or long shot i know but still alive she would be 104yrs!!

Have you tried contacting the nursing home she was in?
Thanks
Ceri

With regards to your query regarding death certs being given for victims of war, i really dont know the answer for sure, however you will note that from the information on the war death i found earlier that i was able to find an index for them (vol no and page no.) whether this would allow you to obtain the actual certificate or whether it would be for further information surrounding his death i dont know.

But i would say that i am under the impression that with the death index you would be able to apply for the death cert (Maybe from the army direct)

Thanks
Ceri

Ian/Ceri
Thank you very much for the time and effort you have put into this research for me, sorry for not putting the area which the family were from, was Aldbury, Herts mainly but also Bucks. Seems it's always different with parishes, districts, sub districts etc. Anyway you've given me plenty to look into, thanks again

Adrian

Hi Sarah,

This is his death record
WRIGHT, Frederick Ernest 30 August 1931 Bexley 1991 June Volume No 11, Page No 430 Reg No 691

This is his birth
Frederick E Wright, mothers maiden name =House, Born Brighton vol 2b page 256

I have found the following marriage, but cannot confirm that it is definately him, however if you obtain both his birth cert and the marriage cert you should be able to confirm this.

Frederick E Wright to Eileen Morgan @ Bristol in 1st Qtr 1948 - Vol 7b page 51
Hope this helps
Ceri

Hi Mary
Unfortunately i only have access to births from 1837, i know there are people in the records office board that do have access so maybe ask them.
Sorry, thanks

Barbara,

How old were they do you know at all?

Anyway i have searched George Winchester to Canada, and the only one from Scotland is the following:

Name: George WINCHESTER
Date of departure: 11 February 1910
Port of departure: Glasgow
Passenger destination port: Saint John Nb,Canada
Passenger destination: Saint John Nb, Canada
Age: 49
Marital Status: Single
Sex: Male
Occupation: Cooper
Passenger recorded on: Page 2 of 8
The following people with the same last name travelled on this voyage: -
Jas WINCHESTER Page 1 of 8 View transcript
Ship: CASSANDRA
Official Number: 124130
Master's name: John Mitchell
Steamship Line: Donaldson
Where bound: Saint John Nb, Canada
Square feet: 10545
Registered tonnage: 5228
Passengers on voyage: 174

However, you will see that at the time of sailing the above is aged 49 and the date of sailing was in Feb 1910.

As for John Winchester, i have found the following ones for John Winchester travelling to Canada!

WINCHESTER John 33 M 1906 Liverpool Canada Saint John Nb
WINCHESTER John 36 M 1909 Glasgow Canada St Johns Nf
WINCHESTER John Adult M 1910 Glasgow Canada Quebec
WINCHESTER John L 26 M 1911 Liverpool Canada Quebec
WINCHESTER John 20 M 1920 Glasgow Canada Quebec

You will see there are a couple travelling from Galsgow and they are all different ages, if you could advise more info i will be able to locate it for you.
Thanks

Hi again Ian /Ceri , may I have a search for census 1851 and 61 please?

Mary Alice or Alice Sumner, Ithink, according to the 1871 census she was born Newbury ,Berks. 1846.
I have confirmation of her marriage 1869 in Mortimer, Berks. to George Rampton.
I aso have Birth cert. for a Daughter , Emma Jane Sumner ...Born Rotherwick , Hants. 1866, she was born 3 years before Alice Sumner married.
I only need to find, if possible, where she is on a census to trace her Parents and possible Siblings.
Her Father's name on Marriage cert. states his name as Charles Sumner ( Ag. Lab.)

Many thanks

Hi Ian, Thanks so much for looking for my Mary Ellen and Joseph. I'm afraid I don't know the name or whereabouts of the nursing home, anyhow I am just grateful you found the marriage deails for me. Ian is there any chance you could look up a WW1 soldier for me.......His name was Ralph Hartley (Private)
11585, 14th Bn., Royal Warwickshire Regiment,
Died 25 October 1917 and is buried at Tyne Cot Memorial in Belgium. Killed I believe in action. He was born in 1893, England. I would love to know any information at all about him (my grandfather) was he injured, where did he live before he enlisted just anything would be great.

Thank you..
Kind regards

mary
