Sorry if my post upset you for some reason but I made a spelling mistake on the surname..... Thankyou for bringing it to my attention in the way you did



Kim

I don’t think it was the spelling that posed the problem. It was the 'please please no time wasters' that was obviously found to come across as 'rude'

You’re asking for people (like you - members of GR) to help you, you’re not selling something, you’re asking for free help

I hope that helps to clarify


By the way.....he seems to have married twice

PM received from Kim, which I've suggested she posts on the board.

There is a genuine reason for seeking close relatives of James.

To all that think i'm a possible time waster it would of been nice for you all to say "I think you have made a mistake on your post"

I made a spelling mistake on the name...... i'm sure lots of people make mistakes in life, but I'm no time waster i'm lookin for the above named family
But thankyou all for bringing my mistake to the surface

I have now corrected it and if anyone can help i'd be most greatful

Could you say what your connection to him is, as you are wanting help in finding living relatives?
Thank-you.

Added:
Cannot see marriage of Patricia Wills to Southgate - did she marry twice?
There are other Wills/Timpson births - have you investigated these?
Have you looked to see if anyone else has him in their tree on here, and have you put the family in your tree so others can contact you?
There are 2 James E F Wills marriages showing on ancestry - have you got the certificates to check them out?

PLEASE PLEASE NO TIMEWASTER'S HAD TOO MANY

Not the way to endear yourself to the people of whom you are requesting help - particularly as this is (apparently) your first post on these boards.

You are yourself guilty of potential time-wasting - by giving two different sets of names

You are also in breach of the site's T&C's in that you have posted your e-mail address on here. Please delete it before GR pulls your thread completely

And if you ask again for help - don't start out by insulting the very people of whom you are asking a favour

Me thinks someone has had a bit of bother with Freecycle where people say they are coming to collect things you are trying to give away, then don't.

The chances of someone who knew him or is related to James happening upon your post is minimal.

These Boards work by by fellow paying members looking at available records, and making suggestions how to proceed.

For instance - Have you written to the neighbours to ask if they knew of relatives, or looked on Friendsreunited to see if the road is listed? Someone on that site might have known him.

Is he likely to have left a Will? Apply for a Probate search

Until you confirm what is the correct name, we can't really look to see if he married or had children.

The dates and crematiion details you have given suggest they were obtained from the Crematorium. Do you have his DC? Was the informant related??

DET - who has just 'wasted' 10 minutes of their life on behalf of a complete stranger.
