Find Ancestors

Hi Barry,

Sorry for late reply, have been very busy with results.
I have found a living Aunt and 2 cousins, and they know of more...... I am over the moon!
Thanks for your family details, sorry that they weren't the 'ones'!

Regards, Ann.

Hi Ann,
Sorry I don't have anything on these Chamberlains but I do have a Mary Chamberlain born c1745 in North Kelsey, died 2.05.1809 in N. Kelsey.
She married William Skelton born 1745 in N. Kelsey died 26.12.1825 in North Kelsey. Their daughter Eleanor married Thomas Matthews and they were my wife's 4x great grandparents. Since they were from the same area of North Lincs, I thought they might be related.
PM me if you want more detail.
Regards
Barry

Well, I'm off to bed - it's 3 degrees here!!

Thanks Jan, it's 35deg here so I am off to the club, read you later,
Cheers Ann

Whatever you do don't sign up for anything other than basic membership on here. Freebmd is free - obviously!- and ancestry/FMP best for census records plus a lot else. And people will always do lookups of course.
Hot matches can be useful, but remember they only give you some matches each time - better to go looking yourself!
Jan

I do too of John....I didn't see a Joseph that you found, but that would probably be my father, and I do have his birth certificate.
I am sort of getting the hang of things on Genes, but I think I have been getting mixed up with Genes site and freebmd, as I am only a Standard member with Genes.
I have messaged quite a lot of people on Genes Hot Matches, with quite a few who haven't replied? I will continue to look at Hot Matches, but think I will probably get further through Freebmd?
Have to go out now, so thanks for your help, I am eternally grateful.
Regards Ann in OZ

I think that's a very good idea! I have researched all my family plus my husband's and get in a right muddle I can tell you!
Jan

Thanks for George and Elizabeth Jan, didn't have them!
Seeing that there are so many children to my grandparents, I think I should just concentrate on one family at a time starting with the eldest?
I am starting to get in a muddle see that the same name is appearing within the same family.
I will do as you say and check the 2009 Electoral roll.
Ta, Ann

Name: John R H Chamberlain
Spouse Surname: Lamming
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1926
Registration district: Grimsby
Registration county (inferred): Lincolnshire
Volume Number: 7a

Page Number: 1493

Name: Lilian A Lamming
Spouse Surname: Chamberlain
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1926
Registration district: Grimsby
Registration county (inferred): Lincolnshire
Volume Number: 7a
Page Number: 1493

I think those Joseph and John births are the same as the ones I found! So a good bet.

Jan

To Brummiejan, I think I have found result's for children of JOHN R.H. CHAMBERLAIN and Lillian A Lanning, they are:
Marian-Sleaford-7a 1155 - DOB Jun 1941
Norman-Grimsby-7a 968 -DOB Sept 1928
John-grimsby-7a 869-DOB Dec 1929

Don't know if these are definite results?
Ta Ann

Well, I think her name was Lamming - looking at the marriage entry on freebmd. You would need the cert to be sure.
Jan

I have edited my first post to include the year of my families marriages.
These were sent by email to me from a lady named Judy, who searched through Familysearch, I think?
I have been into so many sights, I have forgotten which was which. Hope this helps,
Regards
Ann

If you have them on freebmd or ancestry, look at the registration reference - it's not unknown for 2 people to transcribe the same record and one be inerror.
Jan

I have the results for John R H and Lillian A LANNING, married in 1926.
Then another helper sent marriage results for Lillian A LAMMING, to John R.H. Chamberlain?
How can I check to find out which one is correct?
Help....
Regards Ann

Ann, you now need to find marriages and offspring for the above if possible. You should with luck end up with some names which can be searched for on 2009 electoral register - a few people on here can do this.

Jan

Births Sep 1934 (>99%)
Haines George F Chamberlain Grimsby 7a 882
Births Mar 1936 (>99%)
HAINES Elizabeth Chamberlain Grimsby 7a 862

Marriages Sep 1936 (>99%)
CHAMBERLAIN Harry Balch Grimsby 7a 1856

Can't see offspring for this marriage.

Jan

Births Jun 1928 (>99%)
Chamberlain Fred Wheatley Grimsby 7a 1028

Births Mar 1939 (>99%)
Chamberlain Christine Wheatley Grimsby 7a 839

On freebmd too - I'd be inclined to think these are correct:

Births Sep 1928 (>99%)
Chamberlain Norman Lamming Grimsby 7a 968
Births Dec 1929 (>99%)
Chamberlain John Lamming Grimsby 7a 869

Especially in view of:

Births Jun 1906 (>99%)
Lamming Lilian Ada Grimsby 7a 657

Jan

Just possible if maiden name mis-transcribed (mother's maiden name Lamming for both, Lemming is an error) - actually, her name could be Lamming, looking at freebmd entry above:

Name: John Chamberlain
Mother: Lemming
Birth: Oct Nov Dec 1929 - Grimsby, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Rutland

Name: Norman Chamberlain
Mother: Lamming
Birth: Jul Aug Sep 1928 - Grimsby, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Rutland
