Find Ancestors

Hi JoonieCloonie, I have now sent messages to the two people who have Dorothy in their family trees so just waiting on a reply. Thank you.

Hi AustinQ, on my father's birth certificate is has an address of 1 Sutherland Place, Paddington where my grandmother (Dorothy) lived. Yes you are correct, my grandfather did not have a middle name. His occupation was 'General Stores Packer'.

What was Reginald's occupation as listed on your father's birth certificate?

Dorothy and Reginald were living at 18 Sunderland Terrace in 1945. Reginald is not listed with any middle initial.

Just to expand on the info Joonie gave earlier re the Reginald C Henry and Marjorie Stean marriage.

They are still together on the electoral registers in the 1950s living in Southwark. So it seems unlikely that he is your Reginald. Marjorie (born 1918) died in Bexley 1996.

Joanne, are you noticing the suggestions made?

Do you know the other people who have Dorothy Hinton in their trees?

If not, have you contacted them?

Hopefully Quoy will get in touch, since she said she was researching on your behalf.

Hi, no I am the only daughter of Anthony. All I want to do is find some family on my dad's side as I never knew any of them and would like to know more about where my dad came from.

Ah I see -- but Joanne, Quoy said:

'Anthony died in 1982 when his daughter was 10yrs old .
She has given me information on her Hinton side but knows nothing of her fathers side'

It would be hard to read that wrong :-)

You are the daughter who was 10 years old when Anthony died, no? In your new thread you said:

'my father 'Anthony John Reginald Henry' was born in Paddington in 1947 and died in February 1982 leaving his 10 year old daughter (myself).'

Would he have had another daughter who was 10 yrs old when he died in 1982?

Confusing ...

Two people besides yourself have Dorothy Hinton 1911 in their trees here. Do you know them? Have you sent them messages?

There were 3 Dorothys born that year, but one of those people specifies Risbridge place of birth.

Hi JooneCloonie, my grandmother died before my father as my mum has told me this information, but not sure what year. I know I must of only been a baby as cannot remember her at all, but we did used to see her.

I have only just decided to look into this, so never been in touch with Quoy before. She was researching this on behalf of somebody else not me. (Maybe one of my relatives, which I am desperately trying to find). Think you have read it wrong. Thank you for the above info. I am at a loss as to where to go next as never done anything like this before. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I posted this in Joanne's new thread, as speculation about a possible Reginald Henry.

===============================

In the mid-1940s there is a Reginald Henry on electoral rolls in Paddington, but living with an Edith Henry.

The same couple is there up to 1961 at the same address, 52 Inverness. After that, that Reginald Henry is living in Bravington Rd.

(Ancestry's database is so bad that Reginald seems to be there before 1947, but I can't find the right image.)

note: that marriage took place two years after your dad's birth, and the registration indicates that the bride was using the groom's surname at the time of marriage.


on the 1939 register, a Reginald C Henry 1913 is living in Bermondsey with what seem to be his parents Albert and Elsie and siblings Alfred and Alice

Marriages Dec 1940
Henry Reginald C Stean Bermondsey 1d 354
Stean Marjorie E Henry Bermondsey 1d 354

that couple had only one child, in the early 1940s.

this is all just speculation and investigation at this point ... but it could suggest the possibility of a wartime marriage that did not last ...

Name: Reginald Charles Henry
Birth Date: 25 Feb 1913
Date of Registration: Nov 1997
Age at Death: 84
Registration district: Greenwich
Inferred County: London
Register Number: C59
District and Subdistrict: 2291C
Entry Number: 143

can find no birth for Marjorie E Stean so can't identify her death



Does his birth certificate say who registered the birth? If she did, and Reginald was not present and they were not married, she could legally have registered your dad only in her surname, if she had not changed it by deed poll by then. (She could only have named the father if she was married or he was present.)

and a new thread

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/living_relatives/thread/1365569

Quoy said in this thread that she was searching on behalf of Anthony's daughter, i.e. Joanne, so I'm not sure why you need to contact Quoy, Joanne?

It would just have been wise to continue this thread rather than start a new one, especially without giving the info that is in this thread.


I suggest we do that now.

That is the correct Dorothy at 1 Sutherland Place (my grandmother) as on my dad Anthony's birth certificate that is the same address that is shown. I need to find out if I have any living relatives on my dad's side. I am new to all of this so not sure where to start. On the birth certificate for my dad, Dorothy's surname is Henry.

The 1939 register actually states that her name was changed by Deedpole (not marriage). The surname change to Henry was entered into the register on 1 May 1945.

is this Dorothy's birth

Found this record that might be Dorothy in 1939 (right date of birth) but says she is single...

Galcally Household (9 People) 13 Edgware Road , Paddington, London, England

Dorothy E Henry (Shinton) 14 Aug 1911 Female Housemaid Single 253 7 <<<<<<<<<<<<
Richard G Galcally 09 Dec 1898 Male Civil Servant (Inland ?) Married 253 1
Wilhelmina C F Galcally 31 May 1903 Female Licensed Victualler Married 253 2
John E Willis 16 Dec 1907 Male Barman Single 253 3
Violet Wilson 20 May 1904 Female Barmaid Single 253 4
Marcel F Jouanny 09 Nov 1916 Male Barman Single 253 5
Thomas Nixon 31 Jan 1916 Male Cellarman Single 253 6
Edward R Bolton 21 Feb 1895 Male L P T B Driver Married 253 8
Lilian Bolton 19 May 1898 Female Waitress Married 253 9

On the actual image her surname was written as HINTON (not Shinton, as
transcribed above). This has been crossed out and HENRY written over the top.

In 1947, when Anthony's birth was registered in Paddington, there was a Dorothy E Henry living at 1, Sutherland Place, Westminster, Paddington, with several other people, but no Mr Henry.

Thank you littlelegs and SylvialnCanada for your help and advice, I have sent her a message so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi Joanne

I think Quoy is still around, but she might not be watching for a reply to this thread, and GR does not notify people of new posts on a thread.

You would do far better to do as littlelegs suggested and send her a message through the GR system by clicking on her name.

GR will then notify her that there is a message, and she will be able to make contact with you.


Good luck!

Click on quoy name and send a message

I know this is a bit of a long shot as the above was posted in 2010. I have recently started to do my family tree and look into my deceased father's family. My father was Anthony who died in 1982 when I was 10 years old and my grandmother was Dorothy and my grandfather was Reginald. The above post that was made by Quoy above, please, please get in touch. Thank you.

Think you are going to have to wait until the cert arrives. There does not seem to be a marriage that I can see, maybe he was married before? no divorce ect
