Find Ancestors

Hi Rose,

Could you possibly find on the UK incoming passenger list a Rachel Gagan, she is there, but unfortunately my Ancestry subs don't cover shipping.
Could you please save the image and I will message you my email address.
Many thanks,
Mardi.

Hi Rose, have sent you a PM, thanks for the offer. It's much appreciated,

Regards, Lou

Rose I hope you don't mind but I just had to chuckle and say to Mardi - 'my Ancestry subs don't cover shipping' --- but shipping is always extra!

If you call in the next 20 minutes the second one is **free** .......... just pay £20 for the shipping and handling, lol.

lol Bruce :)

Mardi have sent PM

Thank you for the offer, and hope you can help me. I'm looking for a birth for Elizabeth Wild Batchelor, b 1830/32, somewhere in UK. I have her in the 1841 census, aged 9 living with Henry Blatch and his wife Sarah nee Batchelor. In 1847 they immigrated to New Zealand, but it seems Elizabeth returned to Uk prior to her death around 1890/5. She was married to William Monson. I'm stuck, I cant find who her parents were. Some suggest she was Sarahs illigitemate daughter, but Henrys mother was a Wild, so that suggests she came from the Blatch side.
Thanks
Dorothy

Hi Dorothy I see her on the 1841 as you say, have you found her marriage certificate? was that here or in NZ?

She was married in 1848 in NZ, unfortunately they dont included parents names before 1870.

Sorry Gavin , not well up on army records after WW1, perhaps put up a seperate thread ? as I know there are some experts about :)

thank you anyway

Hi Rose,
Many thanks for offering.
Would really appreciate any info on Edward Skinner b @ 1816 in Lingfield. Eldest son of John (b 1783) and Elizabeth (b 1791) Skinner. Believe he may have had a daughter Mary Ann (b @ 1856 and may have been living in Enfield in 1901.
Also Peter Charles Skinner (b 1824 my gggrandfather) m Elizabeth Grace Brunt 1850. Elizabeth G died in1864 but I can find no information on Peter Charles after the birth of my ggrandfather William Henry in 1853.
Any info would be very much appreciated as I live in New Zealand.
Thanks
David Skinner

Many thanks Rose, you needn't have worried, the image came through perfect.

Happy New Year,
Mardi.

Ah Rose this is the constant problem with lookup threads.

Dorothy has an entire thread about her Wild/Batchelor/Batch batch where I did my own level best

http://www.genesreunited.com.au/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1195022

As does David about his Skinners started less than an hour before his post here and from a quick glance it seems that Sylvia (in Canada) has worked her heart out on it and found some of his answers anyway

So unfair to you and the people in the other threads, maybe you would like to say in your opening post that people should not duplicate this way.

Also lookups are lookups and not usually the same as puzzle-solving.

Thankyou for that Bruce...I have sent David some of the info that Sylvia has added to that thread I see... but will add to it to let her know i found some more of family.

Please if you do want a look up, let me know if someone else has found any info , I may well look at it anyway, but at least it provides a 'double check'.

Just a hint, you could add that request about duplication to your opening post because I don't think people adding to lookup threads read beyond that one, lol.

hi rose was wondering if you could help me with this one

and Gavin too has a thread

http://www.genesreunited.com.au/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1194099

Gavin if you come back to this, I have taken a quick look , maybe it's me but I am not finding the info on births that you have? had a look at your other threads and still none the wiser...what have you confirmed from birth/ marriage certs?

Hi,

I don't know if you will be able to help me, but I am looking for my biological Father.

All I know is his name (William McLennan) and that he lived in the Westcliff on Sea/Southend on Sea area of Essex around 1962-65. Apparently he worked for Provident and was 'quite a bit older' than my Mum who was born in 1943. There is also a suggestion that he may have emigrated to Australia sometime after 1964.

I would be grateful for any help you can give.

many thanks,

Gavin

And Gavin No2 has a thread too. Quite an object lesson in the problem isn't it??

http://www.genesreunited.com.au/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1195610

How about it Gavin, is it fair to the people in that thread and to Rose in this thread to break the rule against posting the same subject more than once and invite Rose to do the same thing you are inviting other people to spend their own time helping you withso everybody can just do what somebody else has already done? My stars you haven't even answered the people who replied to you there.

Everybody's question here is important to them and everybody's time is important to them too.

If it is possible to help you with that search Gavin someone will do it in your thread. This isn't a 'lookup' it is a possibly insoluble mystery!
