Hello Colin, Only one William HINETT married anywhere in England & Wales 1939-1942 inclusive... Dec ¼ 1940, at Rowley Regis. Unfortunately his 'middle initials' were shown as HM - and his bride was Gwendoline GUTTERY :-( No Frederick HINETTs anywhere.

Hello Joe, There was something very odd happening at Rootsweb a while ago, and some of us on another list noticed that our messages weren't getting to the archive. I think they were updating some software at the time. It may be an idea to ask the rootsweb helpdesk.

Subject: [WOR] James Nott & Grace Grave From: [email protected] (I have snipped this address) Date: 06/08/2007 22:16 To: [email protected] Hello list Back in August a message was posted to this list (details above), to which I was just about to send a reply. I thought I'd better check the archives to see if there had been any other replies in the meantime. However, the original message is not in the archive. I have searched all sorts of different ways, but I'm sure it really isn't there. I saved it on my computer at the time, so I know I didn't dream it, and I have all the details of time, sender etc. (I do not receive in digest mode on this list) How can this happen?

Hello Worcester, Just joined to seek any information on a marriage between James Lett born 1828 and Teresa B/Theresa B surname unknown, probably about 1847 - 1850. They adopted a son Walter Porter probably born about 1850 and shortly afterwards emigrated to USA. First settling in New York later in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. In 1841 census James is with parents James and Martha Lett, Turnpike house, Bath rd, Worcester. Thanks in advance Alan Booth

HI Alan, I found this on the 1860 USA census: James Letts age 28 Teresa Letts age 24 James A. Letts age 2 Walter Paster age 10 This looks close enough to be your family. They were living in Brooklyn, New York at the time. I could not find them on the 1870 census, however I have to admit, I didn't look too hard. Sometimes the handwriting is so bad that the transcriber writes something completely different. I did find them on the 1880 census. This is from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: James Lett age 43, occupation: Photo Material Mer. Theressa B. Lett age 41 James Lett age 20 Sydney Lett age 15 Grace G. Lett age 14 Emily L. Lett age 7 Annie Mason age 40, servant No Walter this time but he is old enough to be out on his own by now. I know the spelling is different on each and the ages are not right but everything else seems close. I got these off Ancestry.com. If you want me to send you the images, let me know.

Can anyone help? My great grandmother came from Moor End, Tibberton. Is this Tibberton in Worcestershire or in Gloucestershire? Thanks. Gordon. Albury, Australia.

Hi Gordon, There's very definitely a Moor End in the WOR Tibberton - Ordnance Survey Ref SO910562. On the Southern edges of the Parish, and on the road to Crowle. [The Wyre Forest Beagles used to be kennelled there in my youth.] Don't know *anything* about the GLS Tibberton.....

But it could also mean the first wife Sarah died between 1861 and 1871. in the 1871 census there is a gap of around 7 years in the children Eliza and Ann's ages. It could mean infant deaths, children in other homes working or with relatives) or the death of Sarah. It pays to keep an open mind till you clarify matters. Or you could end up having wasted time researching other people's families! Good hunting

I am researching the family of Sarah May HAWKESWOOD born in Kidderminster in 1889. Her parents were George and Mary (nee Moulder). There were seven other siblings: Harry (1885), Agnes (1885), Florence (1887), Fanny (1890), Minnie (1892), Caroline (1894) and Hilda (1899). Sarah married FREDERICK SADLER in 1921 in Monmouth where I believe she was working as a Chambermaid. A few months earlier she had given birth to an illegitimate daughter at a home for unmarried mothers in Grove Lane, Camberwell. The child (Florence Maud) was adopted, but I believe Sarah and Frederick tried to claim the child back, without success. Any information on the above will be very welcome. Christine
