Find Ancestors

Gosh Tracy, that was quick - I only went to put the kettle on! Thank you so much for all that lnformation - I really appreciate your time and trouble. Regards, Janet

Would you be able to let me have details of all the McKerrow families in 1861 and 1871. There are only 27 amongst 4 families in 1881 and several more by 1901. They originate from Scotland so curious to see which ones ventured south of the border first. Thanks Gloria

Hi Tracy Could you look for Sarah Grimshaw on the 1901 census she was b 1896 so she would be 5, she was living in Rishton Lancashire Thanks Christine

Thank you so much tracy, youve been a great help! Christine

Hi again Tracy - I'm still trying to solve my Charles Lane mystery. I know he had a daughter Ina (c1903) and she married someone called Pilling or Pillin. Could you look up her birth/marriage? Maybe I can trace him that way? It's a last gasp try before I give up on him! Thanks again Bev

Hi Tracey, 'Tis a mystery and needs to be solved. George Beaumont/Beaumaris Lewsley b. abt 1880, Islington is on 1881 and 1891 census. Not on 1901 census. No death or marriage record has ever been found. Just disappeared from all records. Have begun to check passenger records with no success so far but while doing a search on 1901 census there was a George Beaumont age 22, born Islington. Couldn't find George Beaumont b. on free bdm. Know it's a very long shot but am wondering if George B. Lewsley 'dropped' Lewsley from his name and changed surname to Beaumont. Can you do a look up on birth date for George Beaumont, Islington. I need to eliminate or otherwise this line of thought. Any further help would be appreciated. Lynne

Hi Tracey hope you are well, Would you mind looking to see if there is a marriage for a WALTER GEORGE PRATT after April 1901 in the Warwick area he was 30 odd in 1901 hate to think of him never marrying. I have nothing to go on with him after 1901 census you see. Cheers Colette

Bev Birth Dec 1903 Lane Ina Rochdale 8e 65 She must've married after 1920.

Lynne, no George Beaumont born c1880 in Islington on the Birth register. There is an Alfred George Beaumont though born c1878.

Colette, there's this one... Marriage Dec 1918 Pratt Walter G Humphries Ethel Warwick 6d 1565

Jill, when was he born?

Thank you so much for offering to solve mysteries, you are a star! I am trying to find out what happened to: Walker, Margaret A b. 1866 Wallsend, Tyne &Wear, (Northumberland) Did she marry and have children? Walker, Jane b. 1870 Wallsend, Tyne &Wear, (Northumberland) m. Howey, unknown Did they have any children? Walker, Ellen b. 1874 Wallsend, Tyne &Wear, (Northumberland) Did she marry and have children? Walker, William b. 1876 Wallsend, Tyne &Wear, (Northumberland) Did he marry and have children? The parents of these siblings were William Walker, b. 1844 Glasgow and Mary Aitchison b in Morpeth, data unknown It would be wonderful if you could find anything at all please regards

Paul can you please post all the census details you have for them so it makes them easier to track. There's a lot of Walkers about :) I can't find a Jane Walker marrying a Howey.

thanks Tracy, it's possible he may have run away from home but can't really be sure. Thanks. Sue

Hi Tracey Do you know if you can get info on relatives who fought in the Boer War. My Gt grandfather fought with the Royal Horse Artillery, I have found Rolls of honour for those that died, but cannot find any other listings. Regards kim

Hi Trace its Colette thanks for the Walter George Pratt marriage could be the one. Need another favor MARY ANN SOUTH B LIVERPOOL 1853-4 need to find birth reference to get birth cert to discover mothers maiden name Cheers Colette

Helen, Susan was servant to John Verney and family. William might be Gertrude's dad, but that's only a guess.
