My Latest Finds:
A Surrey Advertiser 1917 Newspaper Article about 3 young men... ALL FIRST COUSINS - who had each won a medal for gallantry and devotion to duty in WWI.

These were my Grandfather's youngest brother, and my Grandfather's two first cousins. :-)

BUT!
The main person of the article, my Grandfather's 1st Cousin through his Aunt Eliza .... turned up in a Police Gazette in 1931 with a warrant for his arrest! :-0 :-0 :-0
It appears that he had been a manager of a Car Company in Poplar and had not returned a car! :-0 :-0 :-0
But I do wish I knew this before the latest series of Call The Midwife (based in Poplar) had finished! :-D :-D :-D


What was also brilliant, was that I did not have any records for this rellie after 1911 Census (except a possible marriage)
It gave a detailed description of his appearance and clothing, and also that he was of DUTCH descent.
I had wondered about this because my 2xGreat Aunt (his mother) had married a George BOUTS.

Is it what you put up last night Jem :-D

No, I think this is another find Fly! :-D

All very interesting Jem.

People don't realise that value of information in newspapers.

Fly Report 22 Mar 2017 20:03

More gossip :-0 ;-)

JemimaFawr Report 22 Mar 2017 20:04

Where I'm lucky is that the surname (mother's maiden name) is quite unusual. So it's easier to find stuff than perhaps a name like Jones! :-D

Fly Report 22 Mar 2017 20:05

Mine are all common names Jem ;-)

Did you see my thread about Ancestry Jem ?

JemimaFawr

JemimaFawr Report 22 Mar 2017 20:11

Yes, I did Mr M :-)

I'm not so familiar with Ancestry as GR or FMP, but I will bear it in mind.
It will be useful to copy and paste I would think :-)
