Find Living Relatives

what does this comment mean above
Researching:
'I am not related to you and I'm not your husband's first wife! '

Mothers maiden name wasnt Ashley she would have used Edwards

I have I think found the above Hugh N Barraclough on genes and sent a message - no reply as yet. -reg sep 1933
I also think you may be right and that Hugh died in SA . I'll still write to the Jersey address and see what happens. If it is him and he found the registaration books re the nursery I expect he would have thrown them out , So it appears another dead end.
I cant actually find the site on google except the front page that says he's a British citizen b, May 1933 d. 2008. SA.
So I'll have re think everything
Thanks for all your help

Hi medard,

I had a thought about the SA connection too. I am also wondering due to the name if Diana maybe 'adopted' him legally or otherwise. She may just have cared for him or taken him under her wing and he in turn looked after her.

Just to keep you informed. Rose is not referring to this thread with her comments. It is referring to her Research. You will see the names of the people I am researching after I add this to the thread. Hope you understand. It is Rose's humour.

I am trying to keep to who you are seeking and how you can reach your goal. Do you have any idea at all of your sibling's name who attended the school.

If he (Hugh) is a British Citizen then they should have his record somewhere although it is 2008 may still be a bit 'soon'.

Don't give up - we will get there.

Hi have just found this on Ancestry 24

GOVERNMENT GAZETTES
Government Gazette No. 30783 - 22 Feb 2008

Barraclough Hugh Nicholas

This looks like his date of death.

This would have been a connection.

This is interesting.

Yes looks like hm I'll still write to the Jersey address as I dont see an address for him in SA

Seeing as you don't know his name and you don't list your details, you're better off listing your mother's details- birth, mariage, death, location, etc.

That's what he would be Googling for if he started looking for family.

Hi medard,

Do I take it that this thread has been answered from the above? I did realise that Ravenhurst School was in Glos, but I took a quick look on Friendsreunited to see if anyone from that school had made any connection. The only school with that name was the one in Leicester as I said. Sorry if I confused the issue.

Have you found what you have been searching for?

Sappho

Hi
No I havent and I've no idea what that box message is there for .
I am going to write to Jersey just to see if any clues come up. Still havent heard from the genes link to Hugh's name.
Still searching
Medard

Thanks,

Will keep a look out for the reply from Jersey when posted.

Medard,

Hi Lynski,

That had me baffled so I just deleted my comments - not terribly relevant only waiting to hear what the reply from Jersey might say.



Sappho.

Still no reply from Jersey . I did write to the now B&B Ravenhurst House sadly they have no records from that time only BEFORE 1920 and AFTER 1970 . So another brick wall.

Hi medard,

Well we should now start thinking again on this one. I think Rose is right, we have to go back to your mother.

""Seeing as you don't know his name and you don't list your details, you're better off listing your mother's details- birth, mariage, death, location, etc.

That's what he would be Googling for if he started looking for family.""

This is good thinking and makes a lot of sense.
So just to go over info. we have names Ashley, Edwards, Morris-Smith; we have approx. years. Where do you get the 1941/2/3 years from. I am guessing you have been told this. Would the birth been in Glous? Where do you think; where were you born. All helps to narrow things down a bit.

If you had the slightest idea of a first name - any family members around that can help there?

I guess there has not been anyone come forward from the school.

Also I know there are a lot of
