Find Living Relatives

Hello everyone,

I am looking for any information on the "Dance" family. My Father is Kendall Ronald Dance born 1956 Liverpool, grandfather is Desmond Ronald Dance born 1926, Great grandfather Albert William Dance.

Any information or leads on where to go would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Shanon

Welcome Shanon.

Are you looking for living relatives or building your tree? Try FreeBMD. you should be able to work backwards quite easily with those years on there.

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

It would be a good idea to edit your grand/fathers birthdates to just the year before someone reports it :-)

You may need to buy some certs to go further back on the line

Is your dad still alive so you can ask him about his family :-)

not seeing any of those names with the birth years ???

is this Albert

Welcome to the boards Shanon

I think you need to double check your information as the are no births showing in England or Wales for a Kendall Ronald Dance.

Where was Desmond Ronald Dance born??......as there are no births showing in England or Wales.

Who did Desmond marry?

:-)

As Shanon is a new member I will send a PM on how to return to this thread.

There is a Kendall Ronald Dance...but in South Africa?

http://people.bayt.com/kendall-ronald-dance-14939401/

also on Facebook, but may be unconnected of course.

The marriage 1955 is of a Desmond GORDON Dance

Desmond G born 1929 has father Horace on several Ancestry trees, so not likely to be him.

Jacqueline I am aware that the only records i could find were of Desmond Gordon which was what I posted as being the only records that came up .

My posting was saying I couldnt find any records that supported the info posted by Shanon

It appears that Shanon was born SA, so info needs to be checked there first to make sure the dates and UK connections are correct :-)

Thanks Everyone,
I will go check the other sites.
Desmond Ronald dance married Terresa Woodrow, Albert William Dance married Adelaide ? not sure of maiden name.

Kendall my father is still alive and this info is based on what he has given me. The problem is that I cant find him on any South African records neither, which is why I decided to try the UK as he said he was born in Liverpool.

:-S

?Unrelated as date of birth does not fit, so just for elimination?

Only death for an Adelaide Dance showing on free bmd 1905 to 1983:

Deaths Jun 1969
DANCE Adelaide Mary 20Jy1888 Braintree 4a 921

Which is probably related to this marriage:
Marriages Jun 1911
Blanks Adelaide M Braintree 4a 1551
Dance Charles H Braintree 4a 1551

so not correct names

Birth of that Albert going to Lagos, who happens to have a brother Ronald - coincidence?
Births Sep 1912

Parents William John Dance and Annie Upsher.

Do you know if any of your Father's family were born in the UK, or does he claim that the rest lived and died in South Africa?

Thank-you

Again, probably just coincidence of 'Albert' 'William' and 'Desmond'

as his parents appear to be Albert E and Lucy A.

Did he say he was born in Liverpool, Lancashire, as there are other places called Liverpool around the world?

Interesting about the Albert William Dance death in 1944 as that is when my father Kendall said Albert did die, he said he was in the War but didn't know to what degree. And I dont know his Parents details.

Kendall said he was born in Liverpool UK. I have just emailed our Home affairs department to see what info I can Pull from them.
