I am looking for any Davieses from the Stoke on trent area whose
middle name is Sambrook. John.

Wanted - dead, or alive? ;)

For the dead variety (born before 1911, when middle names were recorded in the GRO), you can search at FreeBMD for

all events
surname
DAVIES
given names
* SAMBROOK

There are 4 births and a marriage.

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

-- the marriage has middle name Sambrooke.

(There are dozens of Davies + Sambrook/e marriages.)

There's actually just no way to do it. After 1911, only middle initials are recorded in the index. And the search-trees function here doesn't allow for middle names. But someone may see your post some day, if they search for Sambrook.


The James Sambrook Davies you seem to be referring to was born in Neath, 1868. Alfred Sambrook Davies was born in Forden, 1876. There are others in Neath as well. And one modern death:

Sambrook Windsor Davies
dob 24 Feb 1921
Jul 1995
age 74
Swansea Glamorgan

birth reg as:

Sambruck W Davies
Jan Feb Mar 1921
Neath Wales

Married in 1946. Huh. Wife had same surname as mother. There are two or three possible births to that marriage, none with middle initial S.

There are a couple of Neath births with given name Sambruck and a couple with middle name Sambruck.


For what that's all worth!

John - if that's what you want to find out, why not go about it directly?!?

I understand that you might not want to put her personal info on the boards, of course. Her parents' names and when/where they married, maybe? If you don't have access to Ancestry indexes, others of us can look for other births to the couple and send that info to you privately if they are people who may be living.


edit - got yr PM, will send you some info.
