Find Ancestors

George's occupation was a finisher. I did wonder wether Polly was really Dolly and just wrongly written down. Dot

Hi tracy, Dont know if you will be able to help on this or not.Trying to find Dorothy Alice Joan Griffin born 1921 in Rugby,Warwick.She had 1 brother Robert and 2 sisters Mary and Mona.Dont know the dates of birth for the siblings.Thier mothers name was Joan Griffin.I just wondering if you can find them anywere?

Dot, what was George's occupation on the marriage cert? I know Polly can be Mary, but not Dorothy?

Hi Tracey this is my original post Perhaps you can help me as I have come to a dead end researching on my father's side of the family. I know that his father Albert Smith was born in Leicester in 1889. I have his marriage certificate in 1911 to Beatrice May Cart but I cannot find his birth certificate. I have found him on the 1901 census aged 11 living with his father George and mother Polly and his 4 siblings but have not been able to find him on 1891 census or his parents on any other census. His father was also born in Leicester but his mother was born in London according to the 19o1 census. I am confused about his mother's name as my father told me that his grandmother was called Dorothy and her maiden name was Howard.I hope you can help with this mystery. Thanks Dot

Helen, Albert Seal abt 1883 Catford Boarder Deptford St Paul London He's a Bakers Assistant. Catford is just down the road from Lewisham.

Wendy, it is highly unlikely that there are 2 Henry J Elmes marrying Nellie Budds. Those names are not common. What makes you so sure his father was Henry and not Albert? Maybe... Births Mar 1903 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- West John James Poplar 1c 543

Hi Tracy Thanks anyway for trying Christine

Thanks Tracey, I'd hoped a new pair of eyes would come up trumps, I appreciate your efforts.

Roy, I can't see them. I've tried looking for Frederick, but keep coming up with nothing :(

Christine, nothing 1912-1920.

Thanks Trcey at least now i know it wasn,t just me that could n,t find them . I will try Scotland . Cath

Hi Tracy Could i trouble you for another look up, im looking for the marriage of James Turner to ? Thomas in Blackburn around 1910-1930 ish Many Thanks Christine

Tracey Some input would be great, I'm looking for James McPherson in the 1851 census. He was born in Woolwich 1824 and was married to Mary Ann Russell in April 1849 in North Cray. Their first child, Frederick, was born in the 2nd quarter 1850 in the district of Bexley. I don't have their precise location so they could have been in Bexley, North Cray, Woolwich or Plumstead, but all under Kent. Good Luck Regards Roy

Cath, I can't see them either. They may have gone back to Scotland. There were a few matches for their names, but I can't check them.

Tracy , Could you please see if you can findThomas Scott Born abt 1857 and his wife Jessie/Janet born abt 1866 [but on her marraige cert she said 1863 ] both born Scotland I can find them both on the 1871 and 1881 but nothing after they were married in 1887 ,at the time they were living in Ellison St Jarrow . Also Archibald Mcintosh born about 1867 and his wife Catherine/Kate born abt 1874 both born in Scotland they married June 1891 . also Ellison St Jarrow ,Durham . Could you see if you can find them on the 1901 . I have got Ancestry myself but i am turning up a blank . Am i doing something wrong or are they just not in England ? Any help would be great . Cath
