I think I've found Alice on the 1901 (and she isn't mine - sob). Can somebody confirm that it's OK for us to put Alice's details on here, or would it best not to for now in case any living children are upset by it? If anyone wants the census ref. until this is confirmed then I will send it by PM - Zoe, will send it to you now, in case you're still hunting for it.

Added: I've now used up the credits that I had - I've searched to the end of 1926 for any siblings of Kenneth's, with no luck. Of course it's possible that his mother died soon after he was born and that his father remarried and moved.

Alice in 1901:

Alice Ives abt 1896  Bromley, London, England Daughter 
Annie Ives abt 1894  Bromley, London, England Daughter 
Eleanor Ives abt 1892  Bromley, London, England Daughter 
Frederick Ives abt 1890  Bromley, London, England Son 
Michael Ives abt 1859  Kirby Cane, Norfolk, England Head   
Rosa Ives abt 1860  Parham, Suffolk, England Wife  
Rosa Ives abt 1888  Kings Cross, London, England Daughter 

Bromley, London
RG13/350 Folio 36 
Page 12

Checked with Sarah who thinks the following is OK to post - if there's a problem, could a mod please edit as necessary. Re Peter Sharman - none of the birth's that Zoe found look right for him, and I've just realized how the date's work out. Peter was born in 1921/22 but his father didn't divorce his wife until 1928. Would the child of an unmarried couple be registered in the father's name at that time, or should we be looking for Peter Gabrielson?

I've found children of unmarried couples under either mother's name or father's name.  If he was still married at the time, it would be likely that he'd be found as Gabrielson (or Gabrielsen - I think Elena appears on the 1901 as Caroline Gabrielsen, has two sisters and a brother Morris, who died in WWI).

the only other Gabrielsons in the little bit I searched (1921S - 1922S) were in W Derby - so same rough area

Moderator Comment: Any births less than 100 years ago = Discretion, please !

okay - I'm flustered - any guidance as to which way to go next?

A)  Do I look for any possible births for Sharmans from the 1st marriage? (considering the history we can't be sure they'll even be half siblings)

B)  Do I look for other Gabrielson births with unmarried mothers?

C)  Do I look for a marriage between Peters mother and father after 1928? (this would narrow down what surname we'd be looking for siblings under)

D)  All of the above

Well done you - did you manage to eat as well?

I think I'd go for B or C first, and keep the half-siblings in reserve. D is a good option if your boss goes home early on Fridays.

Just to add to your list, has anyone looked at whether Leonard Moss may have had any children? I know we have his wife's name, but not sure if we have a date of marriage.

Going to read the thread again to check - and then probably off to buy some more credits.

no Sharman/Gabrielson marriages between 1928 and 1935 so he didnt seem overly keen to be sealing his love witha kiss


will concentrate on Gabrielson births for now starting after birth of Peter

I don't suppose anyone could look for Ethels Birth. I know with out a date it might be tricky. Tis just an idea. Being as I don't have a card so I can't by credit at 1837, I am busy compiling all the info we have so far on each guy and sticking them in my family tree program, not much use but it means I feel like I'm doing something whilst I wait for the next heart stopping e-mail to pop up on my screen. I have phoned Sue Raftree and left a message. I hope she was at lunch and is not screening her calls so as to avoid mad peeps from rootschat that keep hassling her about dead peeps.   Grin . If she returns my call I will ask her if RAF can buy the certs.

Silvilocks - I bet you nearly swallowed your sarny whole when you found that.

Note: according to another article about this in the Birmingham Post, Jose Moss lived in Green Lane, Coventry, and remarried to a Johnston.  (It also has the contact for Sue, so the RAF already know this information).

Just Googled 'Jose Hicken' (L Moss's wife) and got these two sites:

http://www.angelfire.com/ok/nzfamily/photosK.html
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/l/e/e/Sarndra-E-Leeswilson/ODT1-0001.html

The name isn't common, and given the fact that her second marriage was also to an NZ airman, I think she's probably the right one. The fact that she's English rather than a New Zealander, should mean we stand a better chance of finding the marriage and/or any children.

Edit: Sarah, I think your message to me was for Zoe - I was far too busy in my lunch hour to eat - I was doing all the work I haven't done all morning  Grin

When talking to the RAF lady it might be as well to check what they have tried to contact the living rellies.

There are pages on Ceefax, for example, or maybe we could find out what school they attended and old friends or neighbours might know of the family?

have the BBC tried broadcasting?  I live not far from one of the families, but haven't heard anything despite having the radio on local station all day long.
