Hi can anyone help me please?

I am trying to find out some information on my great great great auntie Florence but the only trouble is that I don't know if her maiden name was Cheeseman or a Springate.

All I know is that she was married to my great great great uncle Tokanut (something like that, am not sure of spelling) but we don't know his surname.

They must have been born somewhere around the mid to late 1800s.

I am so sorry that the information that I have provided is limited but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank u.

Kind regards

Shelley

Hi Shelley

What area are we talking about.
I think it would be better to start your own thread with this query.

Hi.

I don't really know where they came from but it could have been around the Kent area somewhere.

Hi again,

I have found some very interesting information about my father. Maxwell Owen Fox Chalmers (one of the original names in my list) was illegitimate and I am pretty sure I have finally found who his father was.

I always thought it was strange that his name was so different to his sibblings, my grandmother had a habit of using surnames as middle names (I suppose to keep names going) and dad's name didn't fit with the rest.

His father's name was (I'm pretty sure due to immigration records) Maxwell O Fox (I am assuming that the O stands for Owen) born around 1893 in Ontario Canada.

Is there anyone out there that is familiar with this name or is related in some way.


I would love to here from you, I don't know if Maxwell O Fox even knew of my father's birth as 5 yrs later when he had a son to his then wife Carrie they called him Maxwell O Fox.

I hope there may be some relatives out there that may know the whole story or part of it.

Cheers, Ruth
