Find Ancestors

THIS THREAD HAS BEEN DUG UP FROM JANUARY 2006!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would suggest it's no longer used until Holly confirms that she is still willing to help

Hi Holly i see yoursomewhat of an expert i have to confess i am fairly new to all this stuff. I was wondering if you could help me out researching my family tree i know very little apart from the surname is Guidera and they lived and grew up i think in the Brent area although may have branched out accross London unfortuantely i don't know any living relatives and so cannot ask anyone cheers.

Hi Holly, Thanks for the great offer. Could you help with a missing link please. Looking for any info on the parents/siblings of William Hailwood b c1842 Newborough Lancs. On the 1861 census he is living with his grandmother Mary Hailwood b c1802 Lathom/laytham Lancs. Also looking for anything on Alexander White b c1842 Manchester. Thanks again Holly. Take care Jean

Hi Holly Dont know if you can help but I am looking for info on Albert John Hart born I think 1914 died 22/4/1945. London area (i think) poss West Ham. His birth would be great. Many thanks Karen

Thanks for the offer, do you have the 1901 cesus? If so could you try to find Elvina/Elvera Waterman, she would have been about 5. Her father's name was David and in 1920 they lived in Aberdare. Glamorgan He was a miner but I'm not sure where they were living in 1901. Thanks again. Sue

hi holly i am very new to this ,i have found my great grandfather ,henry douthwaite he was born in skirlough near hull in1850 , i think he was married at malton north yorkshire ,but cannot trace his wife,i know he married jane carr from glasshoughton castleford west y possably sept 1891 is this his second marrage? i sent for a wedding licence for henry and jane stating thay were married in malton in 1872.the reply was wrong bride name. the reason i want the wedding licence is to find henry's fathers name in order that i can continue my search many thanks keith

If ancestry has passenger lists for ships, could you look up William & Sarah Holyoak, who emigrated to Buchanan, Missouri, USA in 1850. They were originally from Priors Hardwick, Warks. Thankyou!

what are you able to find out what years do you have access to

Holly don't know if you can help. Grandfather Dan Clarke died 1938 aged 52 in Horncastle. Married Ada Clark early 1900s. Cannot trace birth date or place for him or Ada. She was born in 1876 but where? Witnesses at their wedding Albert Clark and Edith Clark. Again no records? Fathers William Clarke, farmer and Thomas Clark, retired policeman, residing at Prospect Street, Horncastle and Elmhirst Road Horncastle respectively. But again no further ecords that I can find. The trail on my grandather Dan, the baker, lived and worked at 28 South Street Horncastle from early 1900s. Not listed at that address on the 1901 census although Ada is, as a boarder. My father's birth certificate shows that address as their residence in 1913. Don't mind doing the leg work myself but I just keep drawing blanks now.

This will keep you busy................ I ahve been trying to find Maud Julletta Gimber (hammond)married Frank Gimber in 1914in the Shoulden area of Kent Frank died in 1918 but I cannot find any details of Maud or her family.....If you could find her death or her parents I would be extremly gratful.....................................I must add Maud was 21 when she married and her father was called matthew James Hammond, I think that Maud and Frank lived in Deal

Sorry Holly for the delay - just stuck fifty pence in the meter Thanks for all you're help Linda

Hi Fern, I looked in all the censuses and the only one comming up (other than 1891) is Samuel Glover. I checked the image and it is definatley GLOVER, Sorry, Holly

Hi Pamela Ward, There are no Eleanor Priscilla Faulkners on ancestry nor any Eleanor P's. I looked in the 1901 census a few that could fit, but hard to say which one she is, Sorry, Holly

Hi Holly, Thanks again for the previous image. This time I have little information. I have a marriage certificate for a marriage in 1842 at St Luke Middlesex. I am looking for any info on the parents. Father of Groom (George Roberts) listed as William Roberts - Carver and Gilder, George was born in Newington Surrey abt 1819. Father of Bride (Mary Boulter) listed as Samuel Boulter - Carpenter. Mary was born abt 1820 in Cowley Oxon but I suspect that the family moved to the St Luke area. I would be very grateful if you could check the 1851 Census for any information. Best regards Mike

Hi Holly, I need some help. My great, great, great grandfather was called Samuel Govier born 1837 in Bideford, Devon (or Parkham, same place). His father was called James Govier. I don't much about his past. I can't seem to find anything on him the nearest I have found is Samuel Glover born 1837, Parkham, father called James Glover. I have my doubts this could be him because it is quite a change from Govier to Glover. I'm just wondering if you can help at all. Many thanks, Fern.
