Hi Neil,

My mother Betty died 4 years ago and left me a lot of papers that she had, Birth certificate for George William, mt dad's discharge papers from his convoy day's, also my mum and dad's marriage certificate which shows your dad as being his witness and someone called Maxwell Cuffley.

Who is Maxwell Cuffley??
 
My first question is ...how is your dad ? hope he is well.
I have been trying to find out where he was in Australia for some time now but have been unsuccessful and then I receive an email from you.

I have been trying to do some research on our family for about a year now and have got as far as determining that George William married Laura Lucilla but I could not find out when he went to India ????

I am hoping now that Uncle Trevor is on the scene that he could throw some light on this.

More importantly I would like to know where my dad was born ?
Infact I would like to know a lot more about my dad.

As I was born on the 13 January I was obviously named Arthur Ernest as well.

We need to communicate via our own email addresses, I have a lot more news and would also love to hear how everyone in your family is.

My mum used to tell me that my dad always spoke very highly about your dad as did my mum, she thought he was wonderful.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards......

Arthur.................

Lizdb....

Place should read.........7 Margaret Street, Haggerstone East Shoreditch.

The Birth Certificate is genuine.

Is there a way to check the UK Emmigration records to try and determine when GW left for INDIA.?

Hi Lizdb,

I have George William's birth certificate, given to me by my late mother.

Arthur Ernest was born in a place called GOHATTI, ASSAM, INDIA.
He died in INDIA on 12th July 1939 in a place called Bangalore.

Married Nancy Margaret Kohlhoff on 24th April 1905 in a place called Trichur, INDIA.
Nancy was born on 21st March 1886 in Trichur, INDIA.
She died on 24th July 1969 here in England.

They had seven children, Denzil, Dolly, Gladys, Kenneth, Noreen, Trevor and Laura Annie.

Kenneth or Kenny as he was known was my dad.

Thank you !!!!!!!

OK here goes...

George William went to India at some stage of his life. when or where in India I don't know that yet.

He married a lady by the name of Laura Lucille in India. no marriage certificate.

They have a son by the name of Arthur Ernest Robinson born on 13th January 1882 in Madras in India.

does this help at all ?

Regards.....
Arthur..........

Hi Mum44,

I take your point, I think when I initially found the details on the 1851 census I jumped to the conclusion that this had to be them due to the district and their names, in this case 2 + 2 = 5.


where do we go from here?

Regards....
Arthur.........
