Find Ancestors

I completely understand that asking for info on people that may still be with us is not appropriate. My eagerness to find all the pieces to a puzzle often takes over...Sorry
Every single reply to my posts has been helpful including those replies telling me what I shouldn't be doing.
I certainly bare no animosity to anyone who has replied to me.
Many thanks to all.

I think it is more likely Nicola has the wrong initial - as it is Richard W that appears with them on the ERs in 1963/4. In 1963 it looks like he had just come of age.

And the Mother's surname is Killingrey, so perhaps it is a poor record.

The son's middle initial was W according to freeBMD. registered 1st quarter 1943.

Ricochet,

This discussion is slightly off the topic of the thread, but as regards animosity to Reggie.

1) I thought Reggie was a she.

2) I do not believe we have shown animosity to her (him).

3) I just pointed out that I agreed with Nicola, and that if someone wants to put very distantly related people in their tree, with no relevance according to Reggie, that is up to them.

4)Reggie frequently comes across as being very abrupt, and this can be extremely off-putting to posters. (Not particularly so in this thread, I will admit)

5) If the tree is not on the genes site, they can put what they want.

6)Nicola acknowledges Reggie's help in the past, but has also said about the hassle that has arisen - so that is the effect that the comments from Reggie have had on her. No animosity.

No-one has asked whether Mr Barber is alive.........he may not wish to be included in the tree

When your friend gets the necessary documentation (marriage cert) a search can be carried out based on the info it contains.

Why do people on here display such animosity towards Reggie?

I have found him very knowledgeable and helpful in my dealings with him

I think the marriage must have been short lived, as she appears to be with James W on the 1948 ERs under his name. Assuming this is the right couple, their address was 24 Clissold Road.

By 1963 2 more Robes are with them, both indicated as first time on the ERs - Richard W and Christopher.

Can't find her with William R, to try to follow him through to see if he remarried though, so as already said you would need their marriage certificate to get any further with him.

Thanks... I was beginning to think this all to much hassle, but the help I have received from you all (including Reggie) over many years is invaluable for someone researching purely for the enjoyment of presenting a family tree to a person who is interested.

I agree, MC

Nicola, don't take it to heart. People have different viewpoints so conduct your research as you feel appropriate, whilst respecting the privacy of living people.

On that basis, the relevance of who is included on a tree is for you to decide and no-one else.

Reggie to put it bluntly - it's got nothing to do with you as to who is relevant and who is not. We are here to help people like Nicola, not to opinionate.

I agree with Nicola.

'Real relevance' is not the point, it is what the person wants in their tree that is important to them and should be included.

Hi all,
As I have said before, I do research for friends who ask me to do so.
I'm sure you all know that there is often more than 1 marriage involved in researching a tree and with that maybe several surnames...
It's a hobby, I enjoy it. Well I did, but the constant questioning of my motives from certain people is becoming a bit much.

Include his name, by all means - I didn't suggest otherwise - but he has no real relevance.

Reggie, many people include former spouses of people in their trees - not for us to question it.

Not sure why info is requestd for Barber......he is not related to the person seeking the info

Nicky

Nicola, Reggie makes a very good point - if you're researching the family and one of those people is still alive then their permission really should be sought, plus they may be able to help you.

Her birth is on freebmd..........find it.........then look for the marriage of her parents

Do the same for James

Although whether you'll see this, I'm not sure.

But if you want to know about Doreen.............................why not ask her?
