Find Ancestors

That is wonderful news James.
I hope you will share a little more on your story.
:-D :-D :-D

That's very good news James. Cx

Dear Readers

Well, I have been looking for my family for 45 years and while I was away on holiday they were found. My mother Ellen Taylor nee Smith had 4 children with me as her fifth, named Michael John Taylor. Ellen went on to live with a man called Robert Graham with whom she had 6 more children. I am in touch with the earlier and later families. I just wanted to share my news. It is such early days yet, and I will enjoy every careful step we take from now on. All I can say for those who have been looking for as long as I have, never give up. I have had two wonderful, selfless ladies helping me, and one of them struck gold.

A happy ending that I never expected.

regards

James

Dear James,

It is, of course, possible that if someone is hoping to trace you, they may Google your name and come across this post on GR.


It may be an idea for you browse through the other posts on the boards, to get an idea of how the Community boards work.


Basically, there are a group of members to whom genealogy is a hobby and who are on this site daily. They are members who are willing to do birth, marriage, death and census lookups etc. for other members. They are also very experienced in helping to solve queries in relation to genealogy.

You tend to leave very large gaps in your visits here which does not aid continuity and, reading back through your thread, I feel there are some aspects of help which have been given to you which you have not followed through.


For instance, it looks very possible that the Pauline you are researching is, in fact, a member of this site - have you tried to get in touch with her? Simply put her details into the Search Trees box above (in the dark green bar) and then click the Find out More button alongside.


Do take a look through the help you have been given and see if you have missed anything.

Dear Cynthia and Lady K, I have had more then a few issues in my life to cope with of late, hence my not being in. It sounds like you think that one of my relatives will not drop by!! Why not?? Why would my family NOT being looking for me? Why would not a Smith or a Taylor read this and a huge penny drop. I am not looking for researchers. It seems that some people get very frustrated with others and some of the comments i get sometimes border on rudeness. Not of course from you Cynthia or Lady K.

Why not put your query re Pauline onto the new Find Living Relatives thread James?

As has been said before, it is extremely unlikely that she would just happen to spot this thread. She may never have heard of Genes Reunited!

Just bumping my message up. Hoping a Smith or a Taylor, in particular Pauline Jean Taylor born 26.8.1941 might see this message. She was born in 9 Essex Road, Chingford london E4.

One day someone will know my family.

James

Much to the annoyance of some, I probably do not read this thread anywhere near enough. So for those that get frustrated with me, please accept my humble apologies.

Lady Kira, thanks for your kind advice. The Pauline I am looking for was born in 1941, named Pauline Jean Taylor on 26th August 1941. I have her birth certificate, but I just cannot find the woman! If there is anyone who can help, please drop me a line. The address on her birth cert is 9, Essex Road, Chingford E.4 Her father was Albert Edward Taylor and her mother was Ellen Taylor formely Smith. I am almost certain that this Pauline is my sister, but I cannot find her.

HELP>>>>>>>>

regards

James

James? We are waiting for your comments please.

James? Where are you......? Cx

Hi LK...I have let James know about the replies and he said he would take a look.........doesn't look like he's been back though.

He still seems to think that a relative will stumble on this thread.....sigh.

Why Beckenham James?
Do you have some more clues?
Please share them if you have.
There are other cemetries in the area and certainly nearer to Sibthorpe road.
I visited someone on Sibthorpe Road last week.
The houses look as if they were built in the thirties so would have been new at the time she lived there.

Did you read my advice James??? Cx

Have you tried phoning them James ? There is just the possibility that someone might be willing to look if you explain the circumstances?

Beckenham family history group, you may strile lucky with someone helpful enough to go and look?

Hi can anyone help me? I need someone who lives near to Beckenham Cemetery, who might be willing to go there for me. Yes I know it might seem a cheek, but I live in Spain so its not that easy for me. I have details of someone who is burried there plot number etc, and I want to know what it says (if anything0 on the headstone. Also, if the cemetery has records at all of people who are buried there. Name of undetakers etc. Anything might help.

James, unfortunately, this site does not work quite like that. The helpers here are based all around the world and, unless they specifically look at your post, they simply will not see your request.


It would probably be more helpful to you to register with Rootschat - it's free.

They divide their boards into countries and counties and you are far more likely to get someone in the Beckenham area by posting on their Kent page.

I hope this helps. Cynthia.

Can anyone help. I am looking for someone who lives near Beckenham Cemetery, who might be willing to go and find a headstone for me. I have the grave number, but I am in Spain. Perhaps there is somoen there that might be willing to help. If so can you buzz me, regards james

I wish you well. Regards. Cynthia

Hi Cynthia

I am now in contact with LK and following her helpful hints. We now wait. I had already conacted a lot of people who had these names in their trees but that was some time ago. Many are still in my list of contacts, but there are many that are not, whom I assume are new to the site. As I said, we now wait. What a Christmas gift it would be to find my family.

Kindest regards

James

It would be really helpful James if you could tell us if you have tried the suggestions made by LK.

Have you contacted the people who have those names in their tree to see if they are the people you are looking for? That is the best way of making a connection on this site. Cx
