Hi Tracey John George White was born in Ceylon 1805 and Amelia was born in London 1808, there last place of residence was Tranmere Cheshire in 1871 age says 65 for both but 1861 says 55 for John George White and 53 for Amelia. Cannot find them on the 1881 maybe they moved out of Cheshire before they died. Thanks Colette

Hi Tracey Missing Websters 1891 Arthur b 1858, Bassingbourn,Cambs and wife Emily I'm fairly confident is, Emily Mary Humphrey born Bassingbourn, Cambs not sure of her age,but probably between 1860-1865 They married in 1889. I've got other elusive Websters if theres no luck with this lot! Thanks Louise

Hi Tracy I would be most grateful as this is proving really elusive. I am trying to find the marriage of my Grandmother and Grandfather. She was Ada Mary Martin late Pharoah nee Everett b 1882 d 1957. She was born in Portsea Island (Southsea) I have her first marriage to Walter James Pharoah in 1904, in Southsea, Portsmouth. I believe she had 3 children by him. Then the next thing I find is the birth cert of her eldest daughter Sheila Martin.b 1913. The father is James Henry Martin with Ada as mother. He is down as attendant at mental hospital. I was always told by my mother that he was from Cork in Ireland. He died about 1930, but again I don't have any precise dates except my mum saying she was 11 and my aunt that they had new coats! And that his mother used to come from Ireland to see them. I have searched and searched but can find no trace of a marriage, so it would be really great if you could find something. Many thanks Jacqueline

Hi Tracey I am trying to find the birth and parents of Cecil Arthur Farrow I think he was born in Norfolk( possibly Norwich) c1906. Also the birth and parents of Gladys ( Elizabeth?) Barker, Cecils wife. Thanks.....Chris

Hi Tracy Thankyou for your offer, could you Look on the 1851 census for WILLIAM MEAD born abt 1800 ? SARAH MEAD wife HENRY JOHN MEAD born ? ILFORD ESSEX, bapt Jan 1831 BARKING ESSEX, son. HENRY was married 1855 BERMONDSEY, SURREY. This is the earlyest info I have on them. Jane

Hi Tracy, Thanks for letting me know. Rose

Angela G, when were the children born?

Angela H, I'd get it... 1851 Janet Robertson abt 1798 Scotland Head Dawdon Durham Mary Ann Robertson abt 1834 Scotland Daughter Dawdon Durham

I am searching for the birth place of my Great grandmother Elizabeth bradley 1857. She was married to William Stephen Williams had three daughters .Alice, Ethel, Elizabeth May. We can not find their wedding cert so it has proved difficult to find where she came from and her parents . When she was with my ggrandfather they lived in the Lambeth and Hoxton area. Cheers more people searching the more chance we have of finding them Angie Goldsmith

Hi Tracy I would appreciate your help on this puzzle please. in my tree I have a Mary Ann Barden/Bardon born in 1866 in Seaham in the north of England. I have her in the 1861/1871 and 1881 census with her mother Mary A Barden born in 1833 in ?Scotland but can find no trace of her father so perhaps he was working away from home. in 1861 Mary is married but in 1881 she is widowed. The first child of Mary as far as I know is Janet Barden born 1852 in Seaham. have found on freebmd a marriage between Mary Ann Robertson and George Barden in sunderland in Dec qtr 1855. This is possible but would appreciate your advice before I send for the certificate. regards Angela

Thank you for trying for me Tracy.

Thankyou very much. Its like getting blood out of a stone with him its took him six months to remember it and he still gets it wrong!! I will order the certificate now if i rely on him for anything else i will gain someone elses family !! Lynda

Lynda, you were right :) Birth Jun 1912 Fairbanks Susannah Dennison Doncaster 9c 1841

Hi Tracy Thanks for looking earlier request. I am wondering if i got the information wrong from my father in law. Could you check and see if there is a birth of a Susannah Fairbanks c1910-1915 in Doncaster or Sheffield area. I am thinking now maybe her mothers maiden name was dennison Many thanks Lynda

Louise, I can't find any of the Websters in 1891. What was Emilys maiden name?

Thanks for that Tracy, but apparently he had a son the year he died and I was wondering if the child was born before or after his death but maybe the info I got from family was wrong-Thanks well appreciated Jennifer.

Jennifer, 1861 Watson Dirton abt 1838 Newcastle Upon Tyne Head Gateshead Durham Isabella Dirton abt 1838 Gateshead, Durham, England Wife Gateshead Durham Thomas Dirton abt 1860 Gateshead, Durham, England Son Gateshead Durham James Dirton abt 1861(3m) Gateshead, Durham, England Son Gateshead Durham 1871 George Roberts abt 1837 Leicester, Leicestershire, England Head Gateshead Durham Isabella Roberts abt 1838 Gateshead, Durham, England Wife Gateshead Durham Thomas Diston abt 1860 Gateshead, Durham, England Stepson Gateshead Durham James T Diston abt 1861 Gateshead, Durham, England Stepson Gateshead Durham I reckon their ages are wrong in 1881.

Hi Sheila, Jennifer again-the Watson (1836) that you found for me yesterday (thanks again) apparently had three sons Thomas Diston 1863, James 1865 and another born in 1860 he was given to me by my cousin as another James, but I cannot imagine anybody calling two Sons the same, unless the James I have went by his second name of Tindale (Mothers maiden name also) I have her and sons born 1863 and 1865 living with new husband George Roberts on the 1881 cencus but no trace of the eldest Son-any idea where I go next. Jennifer.

Margaret, I can only find one Emma Collins born in Devon c1832, but she's married.

Hi Tracy, It's Margaret again. My great grandfather, Charles Stetson Collins was born to Emma Collins on 26/07/1861. The address given is 39 Stanhope St., Toxteth Park, Lancaster. The family came from Devon and she returned there to marry John Rogers on 02/03/1862 in Plymouth. I would love to know who she stayed with, or was it some sort of Mother and Baby Home. I'm hoping the 1861 census will provide an answer! Thanks, any help would be great.
