    3. Hi Listers, I am just throwing an idea into the pot. In general, all of us who subscribe to these lists are great at helping one another concerning various matters.  We have, in effect, developed a virtual community.  Personally, I value everyone's opinions greatly, and they are much appreciated Have any of the group members ever met in person at a gathering?  I am thinking, such as at Family History Fairs in a stand or a lounge set up by the Roots hosts Ancestry or others?  Certainly, I know some of the contributors through the Lincs FHS and E Surrey FHS, but not all of us are members of a Family History Society. It's just a thought.  I am one of those who likes to put a face to a name.  Also, gatherings, such as I suggest, are an excellent forum for exchanging ideas etc which we may not have necessarily been put forward , or put forward in the wrong way, on the forum.  Hopefully our list administrators will take note of any feedback, and take the idea forward to the Roots Lists hosts.  I think this could be a Win Win case with more interest being generated in FH Fairs (It is about 4 years since I last went to one) and FH Societies.  Richard Brown Bromley, Kent U.K.

    1. [SRY] E BIEBER, Photographer
    2. Neil & Jan Hearn
    3. I have a photograph of a young man whom I believe lived between about 1850 and 1869. His parents were married in Lambeth in 1845 (William LAWRENCE and Eleanor HASKEW). Young William died in Valparaiso Chile but is said to have attended school in England for six years. In the photo William is wearing what could be a college blazer and it was taken by E BIEBER. Can anyone provide information about this photographer please? Jan

    3. Hello Nivard, The postcard I have is handwritten and addressed to Fan, 42 Hill Rise Richmond Surrey, (Fan being Frances Bates) It is very clearly marked Richard Victor Whittington 5 Months 19lbs 28 1/2 inches, and still has the original green halfpenny stamp attached.I would think it was sent by one of the child's parents, possibly the mother. Frances to whom the photo was sent was one of twelve children of George and Caroline Whittington, she had five brothers who could have had sons to carry on this line of Whittingtons, but to the best of my knowledge only two of them had sons ,Cecil who had one son but he died on his twenties , and George (my grandfather)so it would appear that the name only carries on here in Australia. The other possibilities are that one of her other brothers is the father of Richard Victor, and I have not yet found which, or that Richard Victor is the son of a cousin, which would mean that George the Hatter (my great grandfather)also had cousins. I have done a bit of digging in this area and there was a Henry Whittington born Somerset 1838 (where my great grandfather indicates he was born)this Henry appears in the 1891 census with a son also named Henry at Petworth Sussex, and a Henry Victor Whittington married Rose Ann Harwood (sounds like Howard) also at Petworth in 1895.This is all speculation but I cannot rule out any possibility. I hope I am not boring you with all this and am grateful of any assistance I am given.

    3. Hi Jan If you google "e bieber" there are quite a few hits but you can reduce that by googling "e bieber" +photography and then also photographer. Then google "german photographers" - which I haven't yet done. Sometimes you need to take a step back and look at things more generally. You can find most things when googling. Firstly type in what you know, and then tweak your search terms. This is a good link to how to make the most of googling; http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=134479 HTH Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil & Jan Hearn" <neil.hearn3@bigpond.com> To: <eng-surrey@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 1:46 AM Subject: [SRY] E BIEBER, Photographer >I have a photograph of a young man whom I believe lived between about 1850 >and 1869.

    1. [SRY] LOVEJOY & SEAGRAVE
    2. Pam Hillier
    3. Hello everyone I have noticed some LOVEJOY names mention on the list and until recently this did not resonate with me. Going through the ancestry databases for London that are now constantly made available.......I found one of my SEAGRAVES marrying a LOVEJOY. Therefore if any one has a Harriett LOVEJOY marrying James Seagrave in 1916.....in Battersea. I have started tracing the Lovejoys. Harriett appears to be the daughter of Charles Tench? and Harriett Ellen LOVEJOY. Born circa 1875 (not found her baptism yet) Sibling charles 1866 Eliza 1868 George 1875 Helen? 1877 Frederick, 1880 Emily 1886 William 1888 All born Battersea except Harriett the wife. Cheers Pam from Adelaide Australia Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind. The ones that mind don't matter.

    2. Michael, You will find the marriage details on freebmd.org.uk: June quarter 1935, Camberwell, 1d, 1832. Below the entry you are asked to 'click here to learn what to do now' which will take you to details for the GRO where you can order the Certificate (7GBP). From this you will get details of parents, which should enable you to trace them back through the British Censuses. Happy hunting! Rod. In sunny and cool Notting Hill, West London, UK. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Clifton <mclifton@cklegal.ca> To: eng-surrey@rootsweb.com <eng-surrey@rootsweb.com> Sent: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:00 Subject: [SRY] Clifton Brown Good morning, Would anyone by chance have ready access to a copy of the marriage record, license or certificate for the marriage of: Alfred J. Brown and Lily Caroline E. Clifton? Any other details on their birth, etc., would be good too. I know Lily was born in Spring or early Summer, 1910, registered at Camberwell. I have no birth or family details for Alfred. They were married in 1935, also registered at Camberwell. If anything, thanks. If not, thanks for checking anyway. Michael C.
