Find Ancestors

As you have now started yet another thread, purporting to know virtually nothing about these people, I will give no further assistance

If the death is that of Eleanor's mother, the informant's details may help you.

Buy a copy of the cert to find out

Sorry, but that simply isn't true, Michelle

You were given the birth details of a possible sister on here in September, having previously been advised to look for the details yourself, and not apparently having done so

Thank you everybody who offered help I have located family members in Australia, I am now trying to trace Eleanor Long possible siblings but I do not have any info ?

Thanks for your advice, I wasn't expecting anybody to search for me, I was really grateful for any replys I received

'didn't realise you appear to be offended at me repeating threads'

I don't appear to be 'offended' because I am not offended, that just makes no sense

people had repeatedly pointed out that you were confusing matters and that people were spending wasted time searching for things that were already known, because of multiple requests about family members with much information in common and already known

there really is lots of info available about this and other tips, starting with the post by GenesReunited itself at the top of this board:

*PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING*
http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1267972
'Please don't post about the same person or family twice as this can make extra work for the volunteer helpers.'

so it really doesn't behoove anyone to get offended when others ask them to abide by that :-)

your subscription doesn't actually 'entitle' you to the assistance of other paying members which is what you certainly seem to be asking for ... they/we do that on their own time and 'dime'

Thanks I have just deleted some threads and edited another one linking names together

Michelle, no one expects you to be used to the site yet , but if you do post more than one thread on the same family it means that people trying to help you will be duplicating the searches that they may be making. I am sure you can see how frustrating it is for someone to do their best to help on one thread( eg me finding the immigration record) only to find that the same info has already been found and posted.

keeping it all together on one thread helps us to help you

:-)

I am new to the site and am still finding my way , didn't realise you appear to be offended at me repeating threads , I am just trying to find information on possible relatives ....
I have paid my subscription so surely that entitles me to create posts ?

looking at this thread from a reference in one of Michelle's many other threads about the same family ...


patchem

your post at 11 Sep 2014 06:47 on page 2

not only have you posted the registration details of several living people

but you have posted what they may consider to be rather intimate details of their and their parents personal lives

yes, this info is available on line for people who take the steps you did (and I did when looking at another of the threads but certainly did not post publicly) ... but it isn't just sitting there for anyone who googles their name

now that it has served its purpose perhaps you would delete all the details for the people born in the 1950s



for info re other threads ...

Michelle ... please stop ignoring the requests that you not keep starting new threads about this family ... posting a new thread for every person every time you find something out just is not fair to anyone

Will do thanks

It is very confusing, which is why you need to sit back and work your way through it.
Write it down or print it out.

It would also be best to get a few certificates to confirm that what we have found are the correct people.

Thanks patchem, getting a bit confused now but great for all the different info from everyone :-)

If this is her birth:
Births Mar 1921
Long Eleanor Currie Chorlton 8c 1557
then her father's surname was Long and her Mother's maiden name was Currie.

If you search free bmd for Long/Currie births, you also get:
Births Jun 1928
Long Joan Currie Manchester S. 8d 299
in the same area.

Which would be these parents:
Marriages Jun 1920
Currie Georgina Long Chorlton 8c 2809
Long George F Currie Chorlton 8c 2809

Jacqueline how did you find out that the woman in JFM 1921 had a sister? I would like to find out also if Eleanor had siblings, I originally looked into the Eleanor born in May 1921 that died in Stockport but that wasn't her, so her dob must be the March 1921

How do I trace her children Brian and Jean ?

Thanks

Thanks Flip

I was on the wrong wavelength.......OOPS!

The woman obviously went to Australia, but must have emigrated after 1960

The death previously posted was for Eleanor Hodgkinson, I think this could be her birth:

Births Jun 1921 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geldard Eleanor Traynor Stockport 8a139

There is a marriage in Stockport in 1945 to Mr hodgkinson.

This is the birth of the Hooson who died in Australia

Births Sep 1920 (>99%)
Hooson Ernest Voyce Prestwich 8d 524

The other one married in 1951 in his birth county of Yorkshire, and died there in 1997

Both the later children are with Eleanor/Ernest in Australia in the 1970s. Don't think their birth certificates will be of any use in proving this is the same Eleanor as your grandmother. You need the second marriage certificate to check her father's name, and her birth certificate for exact dob. Without the marriage cert it is not possible to be certain this is the same lady.

Western Australia has a 30 year closure rule for death records and 75 years for marriage so don't think we'll be able to find her death (she may even be still alive) or her children's marriages.

Need local newspapers, but I'm not coming up with anything and don't really have much experience of Aus records.
