Find Ancestors

Trying to trace Harold Meredith born around 1835 Married to Gertrude Latreille, his parents or his children.
Have three children for them, Joan, Joyce & Frank, only know about Joan born 1932 my mother, also trying to trace joyce`s daughter Beverley.
Most of my family seem to come from Fulham, London or nearby.
Cheers
Carol

Are those dates correct?

jax

Harold Meredith born around 1835

Child - Joan born 1932

Have you got your dates mixed up ?
Harold would be close to 100 when Joan was born

Just checked, so sorry my mistake he was born 1895 not 1835

Can't even find a marriage for Harold and Gertrude.

Ah, I see she was married previously.

Looks like Gertrude was married before

Are Joyce and Frank older or younger than Joan?

Can find Joan's birth in OND 1931, but nothing for the other two.

How do you know Harold J was born in 1895? Do you know where and when he died?

Joyce is younger and Frank older than Joan.
Don`t know when he died & think birth date is around that given!

Joan was born 16th November 1931 Wandsworth

I'm wondering whether Stanley is in fact Frank; note he has an initial 'F' perhaps he was known as Frank. Also, if he was older than Joan then he would have been born before Gertrude & Harold married.

I've found a Joyce D born in 1937 Wandsworth mother's maiden name is given as Brenckley....possibility?

when a fellow member responds immediately to your request for assistance and actually comes up with exactly what you were looking for, could I suggest you have the courtesy to acknowledge that information - I am not or was not expecting undying gratitude or accolades - just common courtesy by way of an acknowledgement - even when prompted you failed to acknowledge - I have therefore deleted

I am aware of the rules but unfortunately am not able to sit here when someone calls me on the phone, I WOULD HAVE thanked YOU for Your input given a chance, if you have not got the patience to wait for a reply what can i say !!!!
Thanks for everyone`s input & I do appreciate the help even if some people don`t think I do

I think Londonbelle's Joyce D born 1937 is a strong contender and will pm a possible marriage for her (as this is a public forum and she may still be living).

There is a child called Beverly born of the marriage so looks a good possibility.

so now you've changed your boardname - you totally ignored my input and totally ignored it when I asked if you have any comment on what had been found for you - I also don't see a single "thank you" to anyone who has so generously helped

when you say you are "aware of the rules" there are no rules about courtesy - people who use these boards are presumed to be courteous but not always, as you have so eloquently proved

Possible marriage for Stanley F P Brenchley (possibly known as Frank, as per Londonbelle's sugesstion?)

Name: Stanley F P Brenchley
Spouse Surname: Brett
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1941
Registration district: Wandsworth
Registration county (inferred): Surrey
Volume Number: 1d
Page Number: 1214
Spouse: Patricia G Brett Brenchley Jan-Feb-Mar 1941 Wandsworth Surrey


Looks like 3 children born of the marriage. Will pm them as as they are probably still living.

i think if you take the time to read my last you will find that I did thank everone for their input, I`m not going to get involved with a war of words with you, so if you feel offended I apologise.
Ian
ps I only changed board name to ask for some other help !!!
