Find Ancestors

My god ozi bird you are really good at this !!!! :-)

Yes Frank was my grandmothers father. Frank Percy Woolhouse married Alice Getrude (nee Harris) 20th Sept 1909 Kensington, I have the certs. Tomorrow I plan to make a BIG tree on GRU but I think you will have to send me a message on it to access it and see it?? Alice Harris was born 9th of June 1882 Pimlico.

Do you think you or your rellies are linked to me via Woolhose or any other name or names?? all the dates you put for frank and his siblings is spot on. I'd love to know about Franks life and possible army service etc, Frank is an enigma and of course his daughter (my grandmother) Vera Tripp nee Woolhouse 26th Dec 1910 Paddington died about 15 years ago. My family told me Frank was an iron monger!! I think in Finchley London?? Do you have any more details??? on Frank short of a crystal ball or medium contact !! :-)

I'll print off what you told me and sift through it bit by bit. THANKS Ozibird !!! Did any of them go overseas to Austrialia !!! do yo think?

P.S I have certs for Frank and his wife and my grandmother his daughter Vera Woolhouse (later to be a Tripp) As far as I know Frank Percy Woolhouse only had ONE daughter named Vera b 26th Dec 1910 (my grandmother) do you think this is acurate??? it seems funny for the times and that he had a business to only have ONE child i.e my grandmother Vera!! what do you think??

Brenda you could be spot on!! :-) I'll post those details to my uncle who is in his 70s his mother was Vera Tripp (nee) Woolhouse. Of course she is dead as is Frank Percy Woolhouse who was the iron monger. I seem to remember they were in Finchley but that may have been their family home rather than the business!!

Was Fred the brother of Frank?? I cant see the screen without losing this message as I type. I think so.

nice thanks. Printed off and added to my tree info. Thanks !!

Do you know if Frank only had ONE child i.e my grandmother Vera Woolhouse. I ask as its seems odd to just have one child in those days. I put her dob etc further up on these pages.

I find it unusual that Frank Woolhouse should only have ONE child i.e Vera. In those days they had big families and he had his ironmongers business. Who would he leave it to and what became of it? I find more questions come up each day.

It just sometimes happens.

Even though my grandfather was from a family of 8 & his mother from a family of 11, he had only one child, my father.

They did have one other son who lasted a day. So sad. My grandmother always felt the loss.

Ozi.

As you say not all had lots. Vera may well have been the only child. It is strange as he had a family business- but there you go.
