What a great result, Vivienne. I hope your new found relations give you lots of lovely info. It is a wonderful feeling isn't it - this happened to me as I actually found a cousin in Canada over the net who put me in touch with his father (my uncle) and as a result of that I met my uncle, another aunt (who is still going strong aged 100) and various cousins, as well as the original cousin and his wife in Canada. Fabulous and I hope it turns out as well for you as it did for me.

Administrator: is it possible to allow this e-mail on your site? Thank you. Helen Please consider forwarding this message to your computer friends asking them to do the same. We are hoping to increase research, knowledge & understanding of the British Home Children via this method. Numerous BHC also lived/worked in USA. Thank you. 100,000 British Home Children were sent to Canada during the years 1869 - 1939 to work with pioneer families as domestics and farm hands. In recognition of the Home Children’s courage, ingenuity, vision & contributions in this forgotten period in Canada’s history, the Canadian Parliament has unanimously designated 2010 as the Year of the Home Child. As well, the Canadian Stamp Advisory Board of Canada will issue one stamp in October 2010 in recognition of the Home Children, & The Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism plans to include recognition of their stories in citizenship ceremonies.

Alternatively, you can buy 12 credits that are valid for 14 days for £6.95 or whatever the Canadian equivalent is. However, I can tell you that you will find only one Maurice F Britnell in the index and he was registered at Watford in the Jul-Sep quarter of 1937 (vol 3a page 1729), mother's maiden surname QUINN. You can purchase the birth certificate from the GRO's website and this will give you both his parents' names. ON NO ACCOUNT CLICK ON THE LINK TO BUY THE CERTIFICATE THROUGH ANCESTRY!!! They charge almost 3 times the price you can buy certificates from on the GRO site for £7.00 and it's a rip-off! You will also find several other children born at Watford with the same mother's surname. Next search the online England & Wales Marriage Index 1916-2005 and you will find the marriage of EDWIN E BRITNELL to MARY A QUINN (possibly Agnes was her middle name) at Kensington in the Jan-Mar quarter of 1931 (vol 1a page 351). There was a child born at Chelsea in the Jul-Sep quarter of 1931, probably also theirs. In all there was the child at Chelsea and 5 more in Watford. Simple! Now you can start to trace their ancestry farther back using FreeBMD and the censuses of 1911, 1901, and earlier, etc. -- Roy Stockdill Professional genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Hi Mary Anne Further to my previous message the following might be of help Mary A Britnell died 1968 aged 64 Watford. There is no Edwin E but there is an Edward E Britnell who also died in Watford in 1968 aged 65 Also a Maurice Patrick Britnell born 17 June 1937 died in June 1996 aged 59 in Dacorum Herts. I have checked and there is no registration for a Maurice P in 1937 or in any other year.

Just thought I'd bring you up to date on further developments with James Ormston Bell and Geraldine Beasley, as a direct result of your help. Dick suggested that Geraldine may have been a widow when she married James. So, I looked for a marriage between a Mr. Beasley and a Geraldine, and found one. The lady's maiden name was Westerdick which, I've discovered is a very rare name in England. Then I found the births of five children of the marriage. Next step was to take my chances on Genesreunited to find Geraldine Westerdick. I tried with no hope and almost fell off my chair when she popped up. I contacted the subscriber who confirmed that Geraldine (b.1921) was his mother and, yes, she had married my cousin and, yes, she's still lives in Hertfordshire. So, thank you, Dick. I'm hoping to find out lots about James now. I'm also following up on Janet's suggestion that James may have been married earlier to Edith C. Reed. Thank you, Janet. With a bit of luck, I won't have to look too hard if Geraldine can confirm this. As my family has one of the most common names (Bell) in Britain, it makes a nice change to be dealing with what must be the most uncommon one. Flying high! Vivienne Toronto

Hi folks, I am new to the list but would like some assistance if possible. I am looking for any information on Maurice Fitzgerald BRITNELL born 1937 Herts. I do know that his mother's name was Agnes but no information on his father. He has a sister Mary, Margaret born 1934, another sister I think was named Connie, brother John born 1940, all born Herts. I did find an M F BRITNELL in OXF but contact with him told me that this gentleman was not the same man.

I am seeking contact with Dot Gulliver, who was researching the CHALKLEY family. My email address for her is out of date. Assistance appreciated. John Wareham Springfield, NSW, Australia

Thank you all very much for your help with my quest. As a start, I've ordered the Bell/Beasley marriage certificate from the GRO, and will contact the G. Bell found in Watford. If things don't fall into place with these two actions, I'll make enquiries about the other James O. Bell marriages found in Hertfordshire. A year ago, finding anything at all about this leg of my family seemed impossible, then James turned up, so I'm very hopeful that this won't be a dead end. Thank you all again. Your help and advice is much appreciated, and I'm glad to know of HALS which I will investigate as suggested. Gratefully, Vivienne Toronto, Canada
