Find Ancestors

Actually Jacqueline you have a point. The other Arthur C born in the same year has mothers maiden name as Semmens so the one you found with the mothers maiden name of Johns is the only one it can be.

Now to find a marriage between a Hambly and a Johns. :-S

Yes, she is - but my friend is texting her and she's not the quickest at getting back to him.

I also found another birth in the same year with the mothers maiden name semmons - or does that not fit with the quarter?

If the death is right, this is the ONLY birth to fit


Births Dec 1913 (>99%)

Is Sheila contactable?

It came from my friend (his Grandson) who emailed me this morning with the information.

I know not much can be done until you get more info- however, just in case:

Afred C Hambly and Alice are on the Surrey electoral registers in 1938 & 1939- I don't see them again in Surrey until 1964. So it is possible they moved to Yorkshire during the war- My husband's father was transferred to Whitby to run a factory (the Rover Factory) during the war.

Having said that- I've just realised that there were no electoral registers during the war years- but there are births for possible siblings of Sheila in Surrey.

The year of death for your friend's grandparents, and names of Sheila's siblings would be a real help! :-)

The 2005 death is for Alfred not Arthur.

Really need to confirm Sheila's father's Christian name.
If it's Arthur, Looks like he was born and died in Leeds.
Where did the Cornwall information come from ?

Thank you Gritty

I'm getting the feeling that you may be on the right track with this. Maybe they moved away from the Yorkshire area, although I had thought the death I found in Leeds was the correct one.

I'm assuming it is her fathers death but it doesnt really do to assume anything in this game does it?

I'm waiting for his reply to my email for more information as I'm also struggling with the birth of the aforementioned Arthur C Hambly. Just my luck that there seems to be two born in the same area in the same year.

I hope so.

Thank you for trying to help.

Let's hope it holds the answer.....although it's looking very much as though her parents didn't marry

Is the 1978 death in Leeds that of her father?

Hi Jacqueline

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, Sheila is actually my friends mother. He gave me the information. I ordered the birth certificate last week but it hasnt arrived yet.

I would suggest that this birth is that of the man who married in Southwark

Is it 100% certain that Sheila is connected to your friend's father?

It might help us to help you if you gave an outline of how you arrived at this particular part of his tree

perhaps they didn't actually marry..........

The daughter's birth cert would have mother's full name........but you can't get it in time

Hi Gritty

All I know is that Amy's parents were Mary (possibly Mary Ellen) and George William Mead who was from the Loftus are of Yorkshire. My friend seems pretty certain about that.

This seems to be him in 1911

There's only one birth to that Mead / Noble marriage and it's a son
