Find Ancestors

lol Colette, no probs :) You could try asking your older family if they remember any names other than the ones you have. I tried that, and ended up with a couple of people I didn't know about.

Hi Tracey i had forgotton that its all the excitment haaaaaaaaaaa, you know i only told someone that myself the other day. Going off my head .. Colette

Thanks for searching Tracy, these two have been my brick walls for over a year, they seem to have disappeared without trace. lol Wendy

Sandra, this might be him in 1861 Elijah Evans abt 1845 Wilford, Berkshire, England Servant Combe Hampshire You would therefore have to search the GRO register from 1842-1846 to find him. This is a possible. Hungerford is in Berks. Births Jun 1843 Evans Elijah Hungerford 6 184

Colette, before Sept 1911, maiden names aren't shown so without first names, that task is impossible. Sorry. To give you an idea, there were 93 results.

Awdrey, I think this might be him... 1861 Thomas Juggins abt 1792 Withington, Gloucestershire, England Head Norton Gloucestershire Jane Juggins abt 1834 Hartpury, Gloucestershire, England Wife Norton Gloucestershire Fanny Dawe abt 1854 Norton, Gloucestershire, England Daughter Norton Gloucestershire George Dawe abt 1856 Norton, Gloucestershire, England Son Norton Gloucestershire Henry Juggins abt 1859 Norton, Gloucestershire, England Son Norton Gloucestershire

Lynne, 1891 French, William abt 1860 Wakes Colne, Essex, England Head Kingston Surrey French, Annie abt 1859 Wakes Colne, Essex, England Wife Kingston Surrey French, Rose abt 1886 Kingston, Surrey, England Daughter Kingston Surrey French, William abt 1887 Kingston, Surrey, England Son Kingston Surrey 1901 William French abt 1861 Wakes Colne, Essex, England Head Kingston on Thames Surrey Annie French abt 1860 Wakes Colne, Essex, England Wife Kingston on Thames Surrey Rose French abt 1886 Kingston, Surrey, England Daughter Kingston on Thames Surrey William French abt 1887 Kingston, Surrey, England Son Kingston on Thames Surrey George French abt 1890 Kingston, Surrey, England Son Kingston on Thames Surrey Lily French abt 1892 Kingston, Surrey, England Daughter Kingston on Thames Surrey Edith French abt 1894 Kingston, Surrey, England Daughter Kingston on Thames Surrey Herbert French abt 1896 Kingston, Surrey, England Son Kingston on Thames Surrey Elsie French abt 1899 Kingston, Surrey, England Daughter Kingston on Thames Surrey

Thanks so much Tracy. I think I'll have to get the birth certificate to find out more. It's a loooong story. My Grand Dad was born Carl Olsson and changed his name, during WW1, to Charles Stevens. I'm assuming Stevens was his mother's name. His parents weren't married, and his dad died in the States before he was able to bring her over to America. My Nanny was apparently adopted so it could be difficult to find her. My Dad doesn't know much more, but I will have to find out when they were married. This may take some doing but I thank you for the start. hugz, Gail

Hi Tracey. I am getting very frustrated as my GGGrandfather is proving elusive. His name is Elijah Evans, born 1843, married Matilda Waterson in June 1877 in Gorleston, Suffolk. The marriage certificate gives his residence as Southtown(thats in Gt Yarmouth). His fathers name was John, a shoemaker. Elijah was in the Ninth regiment and died in1878, his son William was born in1878. I have been unable to find any birth records for him have searched most sites. Can you shed any light? Thanks Sandra

Hi Tracey its pain again would you have a go at looking for these twins before 1912 say about 1905-1911 if you have the time they will be Cook MOTHERS MAIDEN NAME COOK West Derby. In one way i am hoping they exsisted in another i am not for the shame of it plus when she married Sept 1912 she was near 9 months preggers with Mary Wilson my GRAN in a church too. My other Grt Gran eloped cos she was pregnant those Liverpool Judies aye. Than Tracey Colette xx

Thanx ...could you plz do look uo for me 1891,1901 census, marriage and death if possible.. William J.French. Born 1860 Wakes Colne Essex.. parents were Peter and Sophia French Thanx Lynne French

Gail, this is his birth record.. Birth Jun 1903 Olsson Carl West Ham 4a 71 There's a ton of possible Elsie Walkers in 1905/6. Do you know when they married? Might be a better idea to find their marriage cert to get Elsies dad from. Looks like Olsson is a Swedish name. Not sure how you'd research it though lol

Hi Tracey and thanks Grt Grandad went AWOL in the Army so thats why Johns birth is there in 1917. These so called Twins i am beginning to wonder about unless they were after Sarah Jane they had one more child Archie b 1921. Jane Cook never married utill 1912 aged 25 she had a daughter to whom we do not know named Elizabeth in 1903. What a mess haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Thanks for your help. Colette

Hi I am trying to find information (parents names etc.) for my grandfather and grandmother. Grand Dad was born Carl Olsson, March 26 1903 in West Ham. He changed his name during WW1 to Charles Stevens. I'm assuming his mother was a Stevens. His father was an Olsson who left for the USA before they were married. Nanny was born Dec. 6 2005 but I'm not sure where. Her name was Elsie Walker.

Tracy Thanks so much - you're a star! I can find her father now. Cheers Kaz

Colette, these were the only ones that came up with Cook... Birth Dec 1919 Wilson Sarah J Cook West Derby 8b 797 Birth Mar 1917 Wilson John Cook West Derby 8b 654 Birth Dec 1912 Wilson Mary Cook West Derby 8b 766 No Cookes in the right area. I couldn't even find Alexander. Unless... Birth Dec 1914 Wilson Alexander Cock West Derby 8b 810 I wouldn't think there'd be space for her to have twins in between all those.

Hi Tracey and thank you your a little Gem. Sorry to bug you again my Grt Gran was surposed to have had twin boys surname WILSON her name COOK(E)West Derby district. She had my Gran in Sept 1912 Mary Wilson and i believe these boys came after her, i have a gap from 1912 till the next son Alexander Wilson dob unknown but before 1919 when daughter Sarah Jane Wilson was born. I know My Grt Grandad also named Alexander Wilson was in the Army so son Alexander was either born before he joined or when he came back so 1913, 1914 or 1918 can you fill in the blanks for me. Jane Cooke & Alexander Wilson married 1912. Mary Wilson B Sept 1912 / Twins B ??? /Alexander B ??? / Sarah Jane b 1919. These twins died as babies but the way the childrens names go i wouldnt be surprised if they were John, Alexander or Archibald, Janes dads name.. Thanks Tracey Colette

Kaz, Birth Dec 1888 Meredith Elizabeth Belindah Corwen 11b 331

Hi Tracy Thanks for your offer of help! I am looking for the birth of my g grandmother Elizabeth Belinda Meredith c 1887 she was born in Trevor denbighshire but also a possibility registered in Shropshire. On 1891 census she is not with her mother? Her mother was Georgina (b Denbighshire) but no name for father he died shortly after or before Elizabeth's birth. Cheers Kaz

Thank you Tracey these are the people the mother was Rose Morgan. Thank you very much
