Sadly, whilst Kim has opened my pm, there has still been no acknowledgment. Will nudge this up for now.

Browsing through, I thought I would send Kim a pm to say about the new responses. My message has been opened but not acknowledged.

Hello Kim,
I was just browsing, and saw your correspondence.
I want to say first, that you can't allow people to upset you on this site, they are all obviously very caring people to be looking to help others, but they don't realize that we kow NOTHING! and are in need of help to get started.
Secondly, I have found that the one thing that helps is to start a tree, even with only one or two names then people start to find you! You don't know who has put you or your mum on their tree.
I have the Maddox family in my line, so maybe we are very distant cousins!
Also, its news to me that we shold stay online, I have only a laptop-------I think it could blow up if I left it on!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Fairthorn
Have to say - whether it was ancestors or descendants that were asked for - I doubt if Kim is really bothered -at least she has a lot more to work with and a lot more to look into.
Good luck Kim and well done Fairthorn for having hung in there for her - you must be cross-eyed from trawling through the registers which must have took a lot of time and patience........I really hope that there's a happy ending here.

OMG I was lost reading all that this is so confusing as I have no information on my family. I only found out my dad was dead a few years ago. If I didnt get a copy of the death certificate I would'nt know as much as I do and thats very little. My mother I have no contact with all I remeber is I hadan auntie and unle called ethel and john from manor park my mothers mums name was May thurston will I ever know any of my family gggrrrr.

Kim, I think it might be a good idea to wait until you get Roy's birth certificater and find out his mothers maiden name.

Then you can look for a marriage between Roy's mum and William Edward Webber. The marriage certificate will tell you their ages when they married and their fathers names.

Do you know when, and where, William Edward was born?

Regarding the Thurstons, are either of this possibles? Obviously they are not the same person

Births Dec 1908
Thurston Richard William Poplar 1c 538

Marriages Jun 1910
Burgess Florence Mary Poplar 1c 718
Fielding Ada Margaret Poplar 1c 718
REYNOLDS Arthur Edward Poplar 1c 718
THURSTON Richard William Poplar 1c 718

Only problem is my mother was adopted I now know she was born Jan 22nd1945 well I think as she married at 16 in 1961 so maths not being my strong point :-) its a guess her mums name I think was May Thurston married name/Lanigan single any help would be great and if I dont answer stright away I am not being rude just so busy with work I will reply asap....

Kind regards to everyone
