Find Ancestors

Just as well you're not searching Scottish roots then Jayne. OHs great grandfather had 4 brothers and everyone one of them named their second daughter for his mother, including her maiden surname as a middle name!

WHAT AMAZING HELPFUL PEOPLE YOU ALL ARE.!!! :-D THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH WITH ALL THE HELP AND ADVICE .IF YOU ALL ONLY KNEW JUST HOW HAPPY MY MUM AND AUNTIE ARE WITH THIS NEWS ABOUT THEIR MUM :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D X

Oh my days ! Bless you I bet thats gave you a right headache ! i think I would give up if im honest lol all the same names ! :-S x

So very pleased that your Mum and Auntie are happy. It's good to find that our ancestors who lost their Mum were reared by family. My Gran had a sister who died in 1911 leaving 3 children under 5 years of age. She had already buried her husband and two of her 5 children. Her girls were raised by Gran's Older sisters and I was lucky enough to know one of them especially and still keep in touch with Gran's nieces and Grandnieces.

Aww thank you x It is the people on this thread that gave so much infomation and pointed me in the right direction that made it possible x I am so glad i chose to come back to this site after a few years away everyone is so helpful and friendly x Yes your right it is good to know our ancestors were looked after by other family members if tthey lost a parent it comforting to know that.What a lovely story rootgatherer thats what life is all about family x

No I haven't got the marriage certificate for Harry James BUrton or Alice Maud MAnsell but I've got Gladys Birth living at 7 Westbank road Richmond and on the marriage certificate the address is 45 towns field street CHelmsford and it states Harry J as the father


(Jayne, as you added above, can you give us names of witnesses from the Marriage Cert., wondering who they are!)

(that would probably be above, Sister of WT)


Would be worth getting Harry and Alice Marriage Cert., when you can, for your collection!, looks like Gladys was perhaps lodging/living with James and Emma, a sad time, as Emma dies later 1931, same quarter as Wedding.

Hi Chris ho yes her mother died when she was 9 /10
years old then she went to live at some point with her grandparents JAmes and Emma they died the same year as my nan married .but she never spoke about her dad Harry James except to say when she moved to Coventry during the war she contacted Chelmsford police and they found him living in the Chelmsford area and he had remarried with children he then contacted my nan asking her for money ! She never had any more contact with him ? I think from reading the newspaper report on here he may have been a rogue would love to know his movements from 1921 onwards when Alice his wife died and why my nan lived with his parents and not her father ! Very strange indeed !

Jayne, have added this from further down page, in case you got confused, James was Uncle of Harry!...perhaps he and Emma 'took her in', a lot of Deaths around that time.

Hi CHris Ho that is who I thought was Harry's father too it got me confused . Charles E and JAmes Alfred Burton his brother both had a sons and both called them Harry JAmes Burton .Charles E son Harry James was born 1883 and James Alfred son also Harry James Burton was born in 1886 ish .I wonder if the brothers had a brother maybe who died and they both named their sons in honour of him seems strange that they would both call their sons the same name TBH :-S x

As mentioned before, would get the below if I was you, would make things clearer, hopefully, suspense is mounting, lol...
