Grandfathers Name: Fred Laverack Storr b 10/12/1914 at Flaxley Lodge Cottage, Selby Common to Annie Storr - a domestic servant at said property. My grandfather was adopted and became Fred Margrave. He never spoke about this so have little to go on and he died some years ago. The longshot relates to his middle name which is a very common last name particularly around the Selby area. I don't suppose anyone related to the Laveracks of this area ever heard a story of a distant relative being sent away for adoption at the time of the great war. My mum was told that the father was killed in action early on in the war but that shouldn't have stopped the name being put onto the birth certificate. Therefore, it does suggest that he was an illegitimate child. As I have said, this is a very very long shot but if anyone has any info that may help it would be appreciated.

Hi listers, Would someone with access to the 1911 census be so kind as to look up the family of Phyllis PANTHER for me? In 1911 the family is living in Rotherham District, which is also where Phyllis was born on July 14th 1909. I have no idea about the names of her parents, which is the main reason that I am making this request. She married to Edward BLUNDELL in Southport, Lancashire in 1930 and died in Febr 1990 in Sefton North District, Merseyside. Regards, Andre Blundell, Amsterdam

Andre Like lots of others (and you?), I can't afford access to actual images, but the index is free, and she is clearly shown in Rothereham with Sydney aged 29, Ethel aged 27, and siblings Marion aged 6 and Madge aged 3......
