Thanks for the criminals!

I knew they weren't the best-but that looks awful-thats both sides of the family then!

If you have chance could you look closer at William Sargent 16 May 1854
John Sargent 1878 and Willaim Sargent 1885 p[lease and Patrick Gleeson-1861 Mary ann Ingram and Thomas Ingram 1853?

Only if you get chance-you've already confirm suspicions-thanks for the army info-I couldn't find much when I looked beore-I think the Hooper records must have been destroyed largely.


Thanks for all you do.

Hi Lorraine,
Yes, Thomas Charles Jones had a wife, Sarah Ann Jones but I don't think she travelled with him because there were 2 young children at that time , Elsie and Gladys and there was no talk in the family of them travelling overseas. How I wished I had asked more questions when my parents were still alive!!!

HI lorraine,

I don't know if Ralph had any siblings, so no help there.........I think for the moment ( as I keep hitting brick walls) I'm going to have a little rest from him. Lorraine I can't thank you enough for all the help you have given me and your patience. I daresay you will be hearing from me again regarding another family member!!!!!!!

Many, many thanks

I am trying to trace Steven Joseph Nimmo, born in Ayr, Scotland in 1962 and moved with his mother and father to Canada. steven has a godmother
her May Smith who lives in Scotland. Any help with how to trace or track down someone in Canada would be useful. I have left a message on Ancestry.Ca but so far have had no reply.

Hello Lorraine, it's me again!Would you mind doing another look up for me please?
Another Jones, brother of the last one you found for me - Thomas Charles Jones born c1863 - we believe he went to Canada too but we know he came back - otherwise I wouldn't have been born!!
He is on the 1901 UK census and on the 1911 so he must have gone and come back between these dates. (His brother went in 1907)
grateful thanks
