My dear Margaret, I will not desert you. Am here for anything you need. What a lovely lady you are, so glad to have helped you.

I hope your discussion with DA goes well. Keep me informed. All of us. I know it was me who found the magic link, but everyone else on here will have been working behind the scenes to find the answers. It is called team-work. I just spotted something before others did.

Love

Meg

Hello Madmeg

Email addresses now exchanged.

He sounds somewhat shell-shocked - and I only told him a tiny part of the story!

Just to add, I found another snippet on an unrelated website that indicates that his birth surname was not the one that he is now using, and from that I found that his mother was likely the daughter of Fred Barker. She sadly passed away in 2004.

Margaret is still in the sky with the rockets - it's so nice to help someone in this way.

My next adventure is tidying up my own family - I'm being paid a visit in May from a relative from California (me being in Derbyshire) and am organising a tour of family places of interest.

Hi Margaret.
fandabidozi news ..........relax and absorb before embarking on your next adventure!! you,ll need your energy as it maybe emotional but exciting at the same time.
Take care and big hugs

Margaret, you should go back to your message where you posted the information about the Informant of the death of Ada May - replace his name with initials or similar, and remove his address.

To do this, go to that posting and click on EDIT at the top of it. Make the changes and press Submit.

He has replied to my message on Facebook. He and his sister have no knowledge of a previous family, but he's more than happy to be put in touch with Margaret. So I'm off to pm Margaret.

Hi Margaret

192.com is a website that compiles info about people including telephone numbers, company details if they are directors, electoral rolls etc.

Just google it, and then put in EDIT his name, and it will bring up bits of info. But the latest is 2007, so it's a bit out of date.

In one year he is living with some people called Allot, one of them is also a cyclist.

I've asked for an Electoral Roll look up by Fred, let's wait to see what he finds. And I've found EDIT the grandson on Facebook and sent a message.

Sticking my nose in as usual.

But I can't find any birth record or anything else for him to try and see how he might be classed as the grandson of Ada May Alderson.

192.com is the elect.roll index you then need credits to look at the address.

HELLO Rose.

Forgive me but I don't understand your message ?

I have bookmarked this thread from the start and am so pleased that you found what you wanted.
I pop in now and then to check on progress

DA is on 192.com for that address for the years 2003-2007.

Hello All

Can't see the board very well for tears but thank you all again..............

And to ;- Tempest I always thought you were a fella. xx

Regards
Margaret

EDIT - he is a competitive cyclist. He is on Facebook and several google searches, so I'm not really giving away any secrets about him. But I can't find a birth for him. And no marriage between an A****** and a Barker.

Sorry Tempest, your board name gives nothing away!

Don't know about electoral roll searches, Wayne Tracey is otherwise occupied. I'll post a thread.

Can't find EDIT the Informant, must be a nickname or short-form of something.

Yep, 192 has him 2002-2007. Other occupants' names mean nothing as yet.

Will PM Margaret.

I'm so very pleased for you Margaret.

Well done madmeg (by the way some of us girls are chaps! lol)

According to mouseprice, the address Dara gives as his on the death cert was last sold in December 2001, so he could still be living there, is anyone offering electoral roll searches at the moment?

will start looking ,so pleased for you Margaret .

Oh, Margaret, I am SOOOOH delighted for you. I really am. I'm shedding little tears as I type this.

So, there's those possible half-siblings I pmd to you a while ago, and a grandson (though he might be John Jones's grandson, not Ada's).

C'mon girls, let's find these people for Margaret. Don't forget to pm anything about living people.

Margaret, you've gotta contact the registrars re Ada's birth cert.

Hello ALL

Madmeg you can light those fireworks.......................................

I haven't received the Wetherby Barker/Jones re placement certificate. I guess it will be next week........ but Ha..Ho.. who cares.............

I just can't put into words.... The happiness you have brought into my life.

A Big Thank you to you all, for staying the course, and supporting me.
on my search.

Kindest regards to all of you.

Corinne, why do you think little John William is their son? Isn't he more likely the son of one of the daughters - e.g. Mary Jane. Sarah Jane would have been only 15 in 1907. Mary Jane was not living at home in 1901, so in 1907 she could have been working in Waterhouses.

Margaret, I think you will have to contact the office that now has the records for Lanchester. Kay gave you some details earlier, but according to me this is the current details:

The Register Office, Cockton House, 35 Cockton Hill Road, Bishop Auckland, DL14 6HS.
Tel: 01388 607277

E-mail: [email protected]

Tell them you believe the family have the wrong birthdate, that you believe she was born around July 1910 in Lanchester, and give her parents' names. They won't confirm anything definite without you paying the fee, but will usually make sure it is likely the right certificate first.

mmmmm I do wonder if John William Alderson is the son of Thomas and Sarah Jane before they married. The more I look at it the more I am convinced it is their son.

Please do not omit the death for Dec 1916 it is only out by 2 years if the informant wasn,t sure of Thomas's details then it may indeed be him.

Anyway have a nice time away, fingers and everything else crossed for the arrival of those certificates I bet you can,t wait.
