Europe / Belgium Look Up
« on: Sunday 10 February 19 20:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

Is anyone able to look up a gentleman, born 1910 in Belgium? He was involved in the resistance and came to England. I can find some records here, marriages and death but no naturalisation in the names on the English records. I’m waiting for a copy of the marriage certificate, parents info etc, but would like to get a move on.

Any help would be much appreciated. I will PM the name if anyone can help.

Thank you.

The James Green will, 1813, is witnessed by the same names/solicitors as the one stated on the ‘Watts against Green’ cause. Coincidence???

They had a daughter, Sarah Honey Lanceley but she passed away 1776.

Got that, I can’t find them after, couldn’t find a death/burial for Richard. I found a marriage for a ‘Mary Lanchly’, 1784, to a William Wells, St John’s Horsleydowns.

I’ve seen the will. My 4xGGF is a William Watts, I’m trying to confirm if the William Watts who died 1780, is my 5xGGF as he had a son called William Watts, born roughly the same time as my William Watts, according to the 1841 Census. My 4xGGF’s wife’s father was a Gardener, also in Lambeth, which may just be a coincidence. I’m trying to find the link that ties them together. I have only managed to find a will for a James Green ‘Gentleman’ of Lambeth. Ann Green’s husband was a gardener when they married. In the will of James Green, 1813, his wife is Ann but I can not be sure it’s my James Green the status of a Gardener to a Gentleman seems unlikely. James Watts had another half sister called Mary Lanceley, I am having difficulty locating her, her husband Richard and son William. With James Watts, I am hoping there is a link, somewhere in the paperwork of the ‘Watts against Green and others’ that would prove of disprove, his brother William being my 4xGGF.

Thank you both for your input. I think I'll have to sit on this and wait for something to appear.

Surrey / James Watts - Saint Mary's Lambeth

Hi, could anyone point me in the right direction or give me some advice where I can find more information about James Watts and this attached article in the Gazette? James was born/baptised in St Marys, Lambeth, in 1777. That's all the information I have found on James so far. His father was William, a gardener, his mother was Amey/Amy, and he had a brother called William and a sister called Sarah. I found the article on google, a PDF, page number but no date. I'm guessing as it says James is under 21 years, and finished his apprenticeship in 1792, the article must be between 1792 and 1798? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, is it possible to access birth records in Russia? I am looking for information on a relation who was born in Russia and naturalised in the U.K. in the 50's. Is it possible to get any information of his origins? Any help would be most welcome!

Thank you for the info Lu. You provided me with much more than I expected. Not being able access the records, you have enabled me to progress on my research which I am very grateful for. 😁
