I would just like to thank all those that helped this afternnoon to demolish my brick wall. Things may have been made easier had the info. written on the backs of photos been correct. The death of my aunt being at least 10 years later than suggested, and her wedding 3 years earlier. Also Ancestry losing 16 pages of "S" during the period of my searching was just another little twist. No wonder cuz in Oz was getting frustrated. I don't know of another gene. list where everyone is so helpful. Suffolk comes a close 2nd. Regards, Mick.

Try this marriage: Q4 (Oct Nov Dec) 1942 STOW Diana J. / HAMMOND Geoffrey N - Maldon (RD) vol 4a page 1899 Maybe your father was on leave?

Hi Mick, If you send a scan of the wedding photo to http://www.churches-uk-ireland.org/ Steve Bulman steve@stevebulman.f9.co.uk who's site it is will post it on the Unknown Churches page and then you will also get help from the people there, and when it is up you could post a link here. As for Ancestry, just looking at Q1 1944, there are 16 pages missing from the S' which I have reported to Ancestry. You can tell because Image 60 is page 299 while 61 is page 316. You could always go for the Pay per View at http://www.findmypast.com/home.jsp and do a search on her name. I believe their copy is more complete.

Does everyone with rellies from this area know of the book ( £12.99) called Paglesham natives with loads of genea in it as well as local history and family trees, I can do look ups as i bought it. I have an interest but no rellies from this place, names I can remember that are in this book Wiseman and Pettit, Browning, Emberson, Laver, Kemp and Hall. Written by Mark and Rosemary Roberts and with lots of pictures of people and places ISBN 0 95 163 703 7, seems to have been published by the authors not a publishing company

Hi JK, That is absolutely marvelous of you. At last we have found them with your help. I remembered visiting the family once in Croydon but as I got the name totally wrong I thought that maybe I had got that wrong as well. My father had obviously made a mistake in the photo album. He has written the name Colin under the photo of a baby that is dated on the back April 1947. Obviously this was in fact Martin. Very many thanks for your speedy help, Mick

Hi Bob, Thanks for such a quick response. "Are you sure it was her wedding and that she was not a bridesmaid? OR for some reason did the wedding not take place." Diane is in the centre of the photo in best bib n tucker with a large corsage standing beside her hubby. The photo was taken in front of a church door. Parents are standing either side of the couple. The usual family group photo taken after the ceremony has taken place. "You mention your father and her brother - was her father still living then?" Answered in the above. "You mention her having two sons - have you any BDM on them?" Absolutley nothing. Only references of names etc. on photos. "I assume from what you are saying he was in mufti, not uniform?" As I said, my father is in RAF uniform, that's how I can roughly date the photo. "when did your father and uncle (I am assuming this) join up? have you contact with the uncle? or have you tried to locate him? could the dates be just prior to or very early in the war?" My father volunteered in Nov '39 and after basic training at Catterick was sent via. Palestine, S.Africa to Habbaniya, there for 2 years before going on to India. After an accident he returned to UK by hospital ship early '44. That is how I can feel confident when the photos were taken. Also he has his LAC prop. on his Greatcoat which he didn't get until he was at Habbaniya. As for my uncle, I have no idea of his service record. From the photos, definately not navy, probably not RAF so I guess must be army. Unfortunately he is not wearing a hat and there are no visible insignia. I only ever met him the once in the late 50s early 60s. I do not even know if he is still alive. Sorry I cannot be more helpful as this is about the sum total of my info. Unfortunately I have just learnt from Steve that 16 pages of " S " are missing on Ancestry. Wonderful!! We shall be looking into Steves suggestion for a more complete copy of BMDs. Any further suggestions greatfully received. Will report back after I have checked out Findmypast. Regards, Mick.

Good morning, I have an aunt, Diana Julie Stow born Q1 1924, Malden, 4a - 1282. Last know to me in the late 1950's early 60s, when she supposedly died of cancer. She lived in Tollesbury and joined the Land Army in WW2. Then the mystery begins. I have photos of her wedding taken in front of a church door, with my late father her brother present in RAF uniform. Knowing his service was most mostly overseas until the end of the war, dates the wedding circa '44 / '45. My father was demobbed late 45. Another rellie in Oz has been searching the BMD's on line, through Ancestry, and cannot find a wedding recorded at any time or place. Under her married name, which I believe to be Curtis, she had 2 sons Colin and Martin born between '46 and '50, but again there are no records of either birth. Even more mysterious is that we cannot find any record of her death. She would seem to have disappeared. Does anyone know if the BMDs on Ancestry are totally complete or might there have been a few transcription losses? Of course my memory might be incorrect (I was just a lad) and the married name might not be Curtis, hence the reason why we cannot find the boys births or Dianas death, but there should be a record of the wedding in the name of Stow somewhere. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated but please take into consideration that I don't live in the UK but S. France so my doing actual look ups of records is impossible. Regards, Mick.

I am looking for the family of Eleanor Hannah Sarah Bussey (my line) and George Herbert Rolph. I only know of one son Thomas W. Rolph c 1894, West Ham from the 1901 Census. Anyone out there have a connection to them or can tell me more? Joan (Bussey) Hedberg from Canada

Heather, Let us have the name of the son then perhaps we can find Louisa in the 1901 census and see where she was born, and her age, from that. This might then allow us to help find her in the 1891. How did you come to know about Louisa Powell if you have not found her either before or after the 1896 birth of her son? You must have something on her that lead you back to 1896. Or was it just finding her name on her sons birth cert. in 1896? if that was the case then how do you know that you have the right birth certificate copy if you didn't know the baby's mothers name before you got the copy? A home birth was the normal thing back then, and up into the 1940s, pre the National Health Service being set up. It cost money to go to hospital for a birth and even at home the doctor had to be paid for attending the birth. I doubt she gave birth in her employers house, she would likely be given notice by her employers once they found she was pregnant, I should think. It might be that as a domestic servant she was working in a house situated somewhere other than Paddington, perhaps Paddington was where her parents were living at the time she gave birth. Regards Jenny DeAngelis Spain. <<> Can anyone do a lookup and send me the information on > LOUISA POWELL? She had a illigitimate son in 1896 in Paddington.

Heather, I can tell you exactly where Star street was in the 1891 census because we had a peat relative living at no 13. Civil Parish: Paddington Ecclesiastical parish: St Michaels County/Island: London Country: England Street address: 13 Star Street Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 15; Folio 23; Unfortunately there are 72 pages in the district and Star Street doesn't go in sequence.

Have been researching a Susan (Susannah(?)Nevard for many years now. Estimate her birthdate was approximately 1713, marriage date about l733 to a William Welham in Lawford, Essex. Would enjoy hearing from anyone who is connected with the Nevard line in the l700's. One of the later generations was a Samuel Nevard Welham born in 1779 in Alresford, Essex He married a Mary Orpen, some of their descendents now living in Australia. This Samuel died in 1868. Would really like to know more about the Nevard line back in the l700's. Frances -- fvinport@charter.net

Hi Heather, Do you have access to Ancestry, UK censuses? Perhaps through your library? If so, select 1891, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select London. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select Paddington from the left hand column Select St John You are then offered about 28 sub districts, with to the right of them their descriptions. >From reading 1 and 2 I can confirm Star St is not in those :-( As for Slarti, that is my nom de plume on a website I am also lurking and posting on today and I signed off with the wrong one.

Hi List can anyone help please I am looking for GEORGE COMPTON (m) LILLIAN COOK living in the Batersea area in 1881 Dawn

Hi Daphne, If you don't get a reply from the Essex list about radio operators and their training period, then ask on the Mariners list. Mariners has many very knowledgeable and helpful subscribers and one of them may know how long the training took to become a radio operator. You will find the link for subbing to the Mariners list via the Mariners website at http://www.mariners-L.co.uk Regards Jenny DeAngelis. Spain. <<Can anybody tell me where and for how long radio operators would have been > trained in about 1918 before being posted to a ship, a Merchant Navy ship in the North Alantic.>>

Hi Heather I have had a bit of a look and while I can find a number of Louisa Powells, filtering them down is a bit of a problem. I think what I would try to ascertain is what sub district of Paddington Star St. was in for the 1891 and the 1901 censuses and look to see who was at no 43 in each one. If it is the same people each time then the odds are they were there in 1896. It could be her family, or it could be a number of people living in rooms, or it could be a family with servant(s). Whichever it is will give you some clue as to where to go next. In 1896, at least with my relatives, home birth was the norm, as they could not afford doctors.
