Find Ancestors

I remember this one now!

Back before one could reply to threads, I had some correspondence wth Caroline about her family. We did track down those Scales-s and sort out a lot about the family. Sorry, Victor, that I didn't recall Caroline's family when I looked at the thread and saw Sandra's post in it.

Dang problem with unanswered posts from the old system sitting around looking like still current problems. I should look for the few others where I talked to people off-board and post updates that problems have been solved.

There was that Batten who turned out not to be related to mine -- because it turned out that my Bond brother wasn't the one who married the Batten after all, for starters! -- but after much work I did find the right Battens for the descendant in Australia and she's all hooked up with cousins now!

Hi Sandra, if you're seeing this!

I'm a Campion from Northamptonshire via my grandmother. As far as I can tell, any connection between Campions in that part of the world and Campions in the London part of the world is farther back than thee and me can see. ;)

Looked in here because my grandmother had a sister named Ada, but I see in the GRO which was mine and which was Caroline's.

You'd do better to start your own thread, giving all the details you have of your grandmother (preferably in an easy to read list) -- including her parents' names and siblings names, and their DOBs, plus your grandmother's children's names. That way, it's more likely that someone will see your query / recognize some member of your family.

I am clutching at straws, but my Grandmother was Ida Mildred Campion, (nee Smith) born in Lewisham 1904. I can find no trace of her after 1930, when she left her children. Could there be a conection?

I am trying to trace my family tree on my father's side. His mother was Ada Mae Campion she died in around 1953 - in her 50's. She was married to a Walter Forbes Nevett and they ran a pub in Nottingham called the BarleyMow Inn, also had connections in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. Can anyone help? Much appreciated, Caroline
