Steve try www.origins.net Have you an initial for the given name? David

HI Steve You probably know that the name is of swiss origin Mieville is great climbing territory, being on the left bank of the river Rhone, there is an author "China Mieville" who ran for parliament on a socialist ticket, he writes science fiction. I suggest you post messages on the rootweb London-L page. David Asman

Hello, I'm searching for a man named Mieville (given name unknown). United States census records make it clear that he moved to the US in time to marry and father a son in 1876. I've had good luck tracking his son and wife, who apparently divorced him by 1900, but no luck with this Mieville. He probably left England around 1870, (+/- 5 yrs) and was probably born around 1850 (+/- 5 yrs). Any suggetions or look-ups for England would be greatly appreciated. He would be my gggrandfather. Steve C.

hi, new to the list and researching the following surnames: All the families ended up in Australia. Butler, Heather, Jackson, Lancaster (Tas), Glass, Murray, Marquis, Reid (Qld). I am currently stuck on all of these names and can't find a way past any of the roadblocks. Any and all assistance would be greatfully appreciated. rgds phil b.....

I have to disagree with that!! I checked the website out and although I wasn't a member there was still access for non-members. It can put you in any part of England you want to go and when you submit the name you are searching for it provides you with names of people to contact who are also searching those names in that particular region. Thanks Malcolm for mentioning that site!!! I have already sent off messages to a number of people and am awaiting their replies. Cindy

Mr Skip, Will you please revisit the site, look again, ignore the adverts if you wish, and actually look at the site itself .

Dear Listers, I am looking for a few Surnames in England. WHITFIELD around 1840 + Liverpool/Lancashire, This WHITFIELD family is said to originate from Warrington. HOWLETT from Cambridgeshire mid-late 1700 I have traced this family back from NSW Australia where three sons were sent for life on a charge of Larceny. ROOKE late 1700 early 1800 I am not too sure where about in England they came from but I am tracing them back from Tasmania Australia. BELL this is my brickwall I don't even seem to be able to find much about this family. What I have is Kathleen BELL sent to Australia as a British Home Child in 1934. She was born in West Bromwich 1922 daughter of Gladys BELL nee THOMPSON and George Thomas BELL (Coalminer H???) he deserted before Kathleen was born we have receive a couple of addresses where Gladys live after Kathleen had left one at Wednesbury Staffordshire, one for Friars Park Wednesbury for both theses addresses there is mention of relatives living there also. There was a warrant out for George BELL I assume for desertion. Any help at all would be gratefully received and very much appreciated. Good luck to all who are searching June Western Australia

Hello List, I am looking for information on these families, all from Kent except Hutchinson. I have quite a bit on the Bourne family (Thank you, cousin) but have drawn a blank on the rest, particulary Denniss and Lilly who were, according to an obituary, in Ashford in the first 3/4 of the 1800s. The Hutchinson is David, b.c.1760. He married Margaret Taylor of Scotland. I believe two of his daughters may have been Mary and Isabella b. 1800 & 1802 at Belsa Dean House, Northampshire. Although, there is a possibility that I have confused 2 David Hutchinson families. Jane Alois
