I'd be curious what the urgency is, and what you have done to trace these people. Or are you not looking for help, just hoping a descendant will see your message? The odds of that happening, unfortunately, are close to nil.

Pretty easy to find Horace Henry Nelson's marriage, I think, although it's not yet at FreeBMD.

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

What I would suspect is his marriage is at Ancestry:

Name: Horace H Nelson
Spouse: Lilian Harwood
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1929
Registration district: Stepney
Registration county (inferred): Middlesex
Volume Number: 1c
Page Number: 523

Only the marriage certificate, with his age and father's name, will tell for sure.

Then it's a matter of searching for births of Nelson children with Harwood mother. Because the individual may be living, I won't put the details here, but you can find her birth at FreeBMD. There are no other likely births in the (complete) index at Ancestry.

Bit of a tall order, Leslie. If you go to the freebmd site you will be able to find 55 Nelson children born between 1901 and 1911.

This is Horace Henry:

Births Sep 1906 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nelson Horace Henry W. Ham 4a 53


Do you know Lavina's maiden name? From Sept 1911 onwards, you can search for births using the MMN.

Have you looked for them on the 1911? You will have to pay to view the transcription or the image.

I need to find all descendants of Albert Victor Nelson and Lavina of West Ham.

So far I have three appearing in the 1901 census and my particular interest Horace Henry dob 1906. so need the children between 1900 and 1905, then those post 1906.

Then of course their descendants.


Now getting urgent - asnyone out there?
