This is beginning to look familiar.....................

Elizabeth...................

You haven't told us the father's name - what was it???

FannyByGaslight

FannyByGaslight Report 19 Oct 2009 22:48

Freewheel is quite correct,without his fathers name and occupation he cant be found on census for sure to try and find his birth.

He may well have lied on his naval records,my g.grandad did,first name and DOB were total fabrications.

FannyByGaslight Report 19 Oct 2009 22:55

Elizabeth never seems to come back to any of her posts,so this is a waste of everyones time and effort.

Gone back and read again some of the duplicate threads and the info does not really add up especially if he lived past 1911

Will give this one a wide berth

Choccy good spot but it does not appear that Elizabeth comes back to her threads. At least 3 or 4 others on the same subject
