Hitching John C P Peschevro, how strange! I would have thought he would have the surname: Hitching. What's going on here, I wonder ? Thanks for that Astra.

I will mention those that helped on here... she still helps out at the Charity comes in every Thursday, will be pleased to be able to give her some more info about her family. :-D

His father it seems was: William Henry Hitching, mother: Mary Ann, any ideas of her surname ?

His birth was 29th July 1895, she told me it was 23rd August, so, seems slightly wrong there.

On the 1925 Register, he is living with a Kate - possibly a first wife or Anglized version of Ekaterinia

She also told me her brother's/sister's were: John Hitching, Peter, and Viola Marie Hitching.

Thanks again for being very helpful Potty. :-) Yes, you seem to have the correct persons, can you find his parents ?

If you give us her name and age............or PM it if you don't want to post it on the boards.......we may be able to find her birth and trace her father back from there.

An elderly woman I know has asked me if I can find her father's parents... She has done a lot of Charity work over the years... so would be great to find out this info for her. Don't know why she doesn't know who her grandparents were, really sad! Her father's name was: William Charles Hitching born abt 1890, perhaps 1898, 23rd August, in Hackney. She told me he married someone with a Russia link not sure of spelling of her name: Ekatrina Peschrova perhaps ? Would he be on the 1911 census ? Can anyone find this info, I've had a look myself in the past... (she asked me a while ago... but just seen her again today), but not sure who William's parents were ?
