Find Ancestors

I have been searching for Haferkorns for ages now.. I know a Percy Haferkorn married a Emily Hobson in 1935 Liverpol and had 2 children - Selina W born 1940 Wallasey and a boy Percy W. Does anyone know anything about what happened to these children ? Stephen Barlow

arbitrarily -- please keep this thread and delete the other two identical posts (or whichever you decide ... perhaps you clicked too many times by accident, lol)

Have you tried 192.com or BT online for Percy junior?

And could you give some kind of relationship as to why you are searching for them please...Just that not everyone wishes to be"found"for one reason or another.

a rather distinctive name !

There are no death records for Percy or Emily to 2005

No marriages for children

possibilities: emigrated, changed surname

(Ancestry has transcribed the name on the marriage as 'Feroy'......)

you might find the marriages of the siblings etc ... basically I would assume that any Haferkorn anywhere in England is related !

I have searched passenger lists and do not see anyone of that name.

There is a tree on Ancestry that has Florence Haferkorn 1897 Gateshead and others on ...Might be worth a message to the tree holder...

Yes, obviously Haferkorn is a German name

That is one reason why I suggested a name change ... possibly during WW II ...

If Stephen were to obtain Percy Sr's birth certificate with an exact date of birth it might be possible to find a death record for a Percy with that date of birth (exact date of birth included on death records after 1969) and a surname that might be an adopted surname ... and check for a death of his wife and marriages of his children under the surname ...

siblings' marriages ... maybe Stephen will return ... who knows ...

rather more useful than their baptisms ........... assuming he is looking for living family of these people ............

births to all those marriages should be findable at freebmd by the surnames of the two parents ........ not for posting here because too recent and may be living

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

Will you two please stop the bickering,each of us have our own way of things and we all should at least try to get along on here.

I dislike posting on threads that become confrontational (Get enough of that in my "real"life.and thought we were doing ok here...Also it really is not nice for the poster to see this .....

Precisely.....So thats that glitch out of the way..

But of course that info may become relevant at a later date...Or not.....But without the poster coming back we cant do any more here really can we...

Anyone seen me glasses/specs??
Oh yes...On top of me head ...
Just proof reading now........Hmmm ,seems ok,so I am gonna hit.."submit"..

I've sent Stephen a message asking him to return

I feel the baptisms may be of interest to Stephen, if not well he can just ignore them - gives him an idea of where they spread out to

I have returned .. many thanks for this glut of information. My wife's grandad was a Haferkorn - from a circus family originating from Germany. He was a bit of a mystery to the family until last year when we discovered relatives who we had no knowledge of at all - since then they have become good friends. We are keen to search further. I will go through the information, cross-check with what I have already and keep you posted. The main difficulty is finding relatives of the generation born in the first part of the 20th century. There should be more around as her grandad was one of 13 ! Thanks again Stephen BARLOW

1911 census, you saw ?

HAFERKORN, William Head Married 44 1867 >>> Showman born London
