Hi Lorraine

Thankyou very much for the info. re: William Wren Asbrey.

As for Bert i am not sure where to look now !

I have Googled him & his name comes up on a role of honour for WW1 soldiers who were killed in action/died from wounds from the Kettering area.

He was registered at birth as Bert Asbrey so do you think his name may be mistranscribed on war records as Albert by mistake ? ( i have also seen Asbrey mistranscribed as Asprey / Asberg & Hasbrey ).

Thankyou for your help.

Roy

Thanks so much for all of this info. Lorraine !

Very sad - but great to finally find them both.

My uncle who is also my second cousin ( his grandmother was the sister of Bert & William ) never even knew they existed,which is so sad.

Now we can both reclaim them & remember them for the heroes they were.

Sincerely

Roy

Hi Lorraine

Been trying to track a family called GOODMAN they seem to dissapear after 1881..thought maybe they went to in USA or the likes...

Archibald Peach Goodman b Lpool 1840
Harriet b Lpool 1844

kids

Jane H 1863
Hannah Margaret 1865
William T 1868
Archibald P 1874
Eleanor Maude 1877
Charles 1879
Catherine

Thought maybe passenger lists of USA census 1891 1901 may have something.. as they cant have just vanished..

A hint came up on Ancestry with a Doulas B Craig 1930 American census Residence Rogers Oklahoma.

Thank you so much, yes Annie Scott's maiden name was Lamb, she and Thomas Scott had five children, all supposedly born in Frood Mine Sudbury, Ontario, before returning to Liverpool, England.

My grandfather in law was John Stanley Scott born 19/04/1914, I would seriously love to find out more about his birth if I can.

John Stanley Scott had five siblings, you have found two of them (THANKYOU) can you possibly find:
Ethel
Isabella
William

Thanks again Lorraine, you are going to make my father in law's day.

Hi Lorraine,

Could you look for a George Wharram (my Grandfather whom I never knew) he was already in Montreal Canada serving in the Canadian Irish Rangers and then enlisted into the The 199th (Duchess of Connaught's Own Irish Rangers) Battalion Canadian Expeditionary Force and came over to the UK to fight in France the 1st World War in1916 he went back to Montreal in 1919 I know that ... but what I would like to know is when he actually went to Canada in the first place before 1916 ... his birth date that he gave on his Army Papers of May 21st 1895 is not Registered in the UK Birth Registry though he states he was born in Hull. Could you try and find him before 1916 please, he could be in Montreal, I would like to find out when he actually went over to Canada and also I know he came back to the UK after he was demobbed in 1919 and would also like to know what date he came back to the UK .. I hope I am not asking too much.
I am new to building my Tree and already this man is giving me problems lol

Many Thanks
