Find Ancestors

Bloomin' hell, when I last looked there were only 16 requests! These are going to take me some while to go through as I can only visit during my lunch hour and after work when they are open until 7pm, but I will do my best to get through them all during the course of the next few days. Sorry I've not replied yet but I'm not back to work until tomorrow! max xx

Hello Max You're a star!! Hope you had a good break from work - all these look-ups are going to keep you busy. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we really appreciate you giving up your free time to help out. No rush for my look up mate- just as and when if possible. Take care. If you're ever in Wiltshire there's a sticky bun and a hot cuppa waiting for you. Debs

HI Max Thank you for your kind offer (esp as Westminster have old fashioned microfilm readers!!!!!) I have found the marriage of my Elizabeth Lees and William Fitch, but haven't been able to get to Westminster for a while to look for the birth of Elizabeth (William was born in Suffolk..so another place to visit for me!!!) If you would be so kind, please look for the birth of Elizabeth Lees.... born about 1804. She got married on 20/6/1824 in St Martin in the Fields. However, their children were christened at St Anne's so I'm not sure where her baptism would be. Unfortunatley, I can't tell you what is said on the 1841 census, as it is annoyingly missing , but the marriage address was 42 Princes Street (now Wardour Street) . She died in 1843 (aged 39), so it looks like I will never have a census for her, unless the records office somehow find the missing census. Many thanks Sarah

Hi Max, Please don't rush to find my ancestor - do it when you can - it is good of you to make the offer in the first place. Don't wear yourself out. Kind regards, Rachel

Hi Max, Thanks for the kind offer! I am looking for any info on William King. He was a hernia specialist(!) on Harley St, he was born c1854 in USA, he came to England and married an Elizabeth / Esther, who was born in Lowestoft. I dont know her maiden name. He is featured on the 1891 census, living at Calthorpe St(?) in London with Elizabeth and their daughter Irene, they went on to have another daughter Ida born 1894. Elizabeth / Esther remarried and had another child by 1896 so I am imagining he died 1894/1895. I would really appreciate any help you could offer! Sorry Ive gone on a bit!!! Juliana x

Max: Could you please check the following christening record for me when you are next at Westminster Archives office. 16th September 1847 St James's Church,Westminster. Ann Jane Pope Boulton. I would like to know her birth date,parents names and address if possible. Thanks.

Hi Max, Thank you for the kind offer. Do you think you could look for the birth of Mary Elizabeth Burch(birch) born 8/3/1852 St. George, Hanover Square. I would like to know what her mothers name is as the birth certificate its not clear. Also if you come across any Giachardi births circa 1849-1855 probably St.James Westminster I would be very grateful. No rush. Thank you Maxine

Hi Max, when you get time, do you think you could possibly do a lookup for me please? I am looking for the marriage of a Richard Blake and a Margaret (surname unknown) they were supposedly married 22/1/1788 at St Anne's soho, Westminster, but i dont know margaret's surname to allow me to trace her, anything you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Sherrie

Hi Max Thanks for the kind offer could you possibly have a look at the marriage of the following:- Elizabeth Jane Judd Bennett & James William Blatch married St Georges H Sq in 1872 Probably St Margarets as they lived round the corner. Any additional information would be great Thanks in advance for any help given Denise

Hi Max Thank you for this kind offer. Could you possibly look for the baptism of FRANK MASON at St George Hanover Square. Census ages give him born between 1841 and 1843. Thanks very much. Lesley

Just adding a reply so that i can find this thread and add to it later. Alice

I feel I should let you all know that Max has not been too well of late so if you have not had a reply to your request for a look-up that is the reason. Max is a lovely lady who is always willing to help where she can so please be patient. I'm sure she will get back to this as soon as she is able. Kathleen
