Looking through Ancestry for people called Eric married in the June quarter of 1965 in Enfield you get Eric Pressman & Maureen L Kohler Eric Twydell & Ruth Watkins Neither match "Bessy" But there is no guarantee they married in Enfield Anne On 28 May 2011, at 17:51, Jeremy Gallop wrote: > Hi I know it's best to put surnames in the topic but my problem is that I > don't know the surname. > > > > A friend of mine found some old letters in a car boot sale.

Hi Jeremy Freebmd is not likely to have any that recent as its not that far advanced as yet Ancestry is better as its fully transcribed but there are 569 Eric's marrying in the June quarter of 1965, so you could plough through them all to see if any married a Bessie or Lizzie or Elizabeth (and variants) Findmypast has to have a surname so no use there Not so many people had a phone then so you may have a problem with telephone books plus most are recorded by initial(s) and surname and the address is often abbreviated What I would suggest, is see if you can track down the electoral rolls for that address around 1965 Try here http://www.enfield.gov.uk/info/604/archives-loans_donations_bequests_and_sales/968/donations_loans_and_bequests_to_the_local_studies_library/1 Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hi I know it's best to put surnames in the topic but my problem is that I > don't know the surname. > > > > A friend of mine found some old letters in a car boot sale.

Hi I know it's best to put surnames in the topic but my problem is that I don't know the surname. A friend of mine found some old letters in a car boot sale. They mention an "Eric" and a "Bessy" who married on the 8th of June 1965. They lived in 72 Winnington Road in Enfield. They married quite late in life and were in their 70's. I've used freeBMD to search for marriages in all of 1965. But can't seem to find any that match. Also I have an ancestry sub but am unable to find any Eric living in Winnington Road in the phonebooks etc. (although I'm not sure that I'm getting the best results out of the search) Any ideas? Much appreciated. Jeremy

Could you try "deceasedonline"? They are putting local authority burial grounds' records online. Not everything is there, but some are.

Most people in the UK are cremated these days, so there are no Burial records as such. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg

Norman While I am not a lawyer, from what I understand, the term "Re" seems to be applied to what, or who, the action, or judgment, is about. My guess, from the context you presented, is that this might well be a document about multiple people/actions in which Redmayne and the others have made a motion and this is the response to those motions. Or, it could be that it is about legal actions that are underway at the time, or sometime in the past, and are being discussed in the document being written about. Thus the "Re" would/could mean 'we are writing about Redmayne's legal problems'. Or, they are citing Redmayne and the others as legal precedents in some action. Bill in the US

Tony, thank you so much for doing that! I very much appreciate it. You've given me brand new information too, as I had no idea there was an Edith Nellie. Likely she dies, as she doesn't appear on census records and there is a sister Nellie Ethel born in 1882 in Greenwich. Thanks again for your kind help.

Hello Tracy I was in Uxbridge library today, so I checked the Providence Chapel records for you. The detailos for the children of William Henry (a grocer) and Mary Margaret DEVERILL are: Ada Mary, born 19 Nov 1868 in Uxbridge. Bapt. 30 May 1869 Harry Thomas, born 28 May 1870 in Uxbridge. Bapt. 14 August 1870 Kate Sarah, born 3 February 1872 in Uxbridge. Bapt. 30 June 1872 Edith Nelly, born 19 December 1873 in Uxbridge. Bapt. 7 August 1874 William John, born 5 December 1875 in Uxbridge. Bapt. 9 January 1876 I could find nothing about Mary Maud, and Edith Nelly doesn't appear on your list.

Name is probably Caleb Morris - he's on the 1891 with that name, and wife Anne there too. Reference Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 4537; Folio 59; Page 6; No idea of the abbreviation for the Railway company.

Hi all, I have found Clarice May WATTS, born 1894 in Westminster, London, residing with her grandfather in Haverfordwest in the 1901 census but I am not confident I have deciphered his name correctly. The reference is WATTS, Clarice M, HAVERFORDWEST, Pembrokeshire, RG13 piece 5129 folio 65 page 2. Clarice is the last entry on the page with her grandfather 3rd from bottom. I can see his occupation is Station Master but I am also not sure if I have got the abbreviation that follows it correct. If someone could have a look and let me know what they think I would be grateful. Thanks, Anne Mountifield

Hi All Thank you all for your help. I have looked at the local registrars offices in the past and they don't seem to want to take US plastic nor checks from this side of the pond. That rather limits options. But, I do know the full names of both parents and will take a run at Nivards solution. I will just give them the full names as they appeared on the death cert of another of their children. Bill in the US
