Hi I am trying to help my Dad locate his Grandad's grave. it says he is buried at Onchan and  he died 27 Jan 1928. he lived and worked at the Colonade running  a cafe then a hotel. he was husband to Margaret Walsh and Father to Sidney, Kathleen and Eileen.  He was Albert Richard Delatrey b.1880

thanks so much

Albert R Dealtrey
My Gt Grandad was born abt 1880 in Newington, London, England and died 27 jan 1928 in douglas , isle of man, buried in Douglas buried Cmemtary somewhere.......He also used to run The Colonade Cafe on the Pier. His wife Margaret (Peg) was from Rosslare, they had 3 children Sydney, Kathleen who died of Tb and Eileen. I can't track where Kathleen is buried, she died aged 21 of TB.

Would there be any photos of the cafe or hotel from the 20s? How would I go about finding his grave if it still exists and Kathleen's grave? My grandad Sydney was devastated by the death of his sister, he also contracted TB but was sent to a sanitorium by M&S who he worked for and survived.

I am trying to find out about my dad's  Gt Gt GT Grandather Richard Dealtry b. roughly 1791 in Staindrop. He worked as a Whipper-In at Raby Estate for the Duke of Cleveland and was later a Huntsman there. He married twice first to Jane Parnaby who sadly died in 1820 in childbirth and their daughter Ann died at 2 weeks old. She is buried in the churchyard at Staindrop. He then married Mary Heron. In the 1841 census he is an Inn Keeper in New Shildon, St Andrew Aukland parish aged 51. Were there many inns in New Shildon? Is there any way I can trace which Inn he was Inn Keeper at? he is wrongly transcribed as Richard Destessy!!!!! We still get people spelling my dad's names all sorts of wierd ways. To us dealtreys the census obviously says DEALTRY.  Mary(45) right age for Mary heron his wife: Jane: Richard:Mary:Elizabeth:Christopher: Hannah: Sarah:Emma: Elizabeth all correct as his children. 
he died in 1844 for which we have a death registration.
Mary Heron lives in Sedgefield as a widow in the 1851 census with Eliza and Harriet surname again wrongly transcribed this time it's Bealty!!

Any help anyone can suggest as to tracing his parents or birth would be so very gratefully received. Durham county records couldn't help other than saying he did die in 1844 but they think he fudged his age when alive so we don't know for definate his birth year only that it's around 1791!!!!  Also that he worked at Raby Castle as a Huntsman and then an Inn Keeper in new Shildon. Are there any local records I could try? :|

Perhaps if I can find out more about Mary Heron it may help  their marriage is in the Bishop's Transcripts. I'm not sure where she is born, she is living in Staindrop when they marry......

In 1920 my gt grandmother Margaret Walsh ( from Rosslare) and her husband Albert Dealtrey moved to Isle of Man and ran the Colonade Cafe together. They had 3 children, Sydney Albert Dealtrey my grandad, Eileen and Kathleen. Kathleen sadly died at 21 from TB.

Two Dublin girls Nancy and Polly and Mary Brennan came from Crosby to help in the cafe. In the yard was a little shed below the Grand Theatre and next door lived Mrs Dobson ( Dobbie) who peeled the potatoes! Albert Dealtrey's  brother Frank did all the menial tasks. Possibly Albert had TB and was grumpy because of it, given the family history he probably had arteriosclerosis as well. Just as they had taken on the Loch Promenade hotel he died. Aunt Peg had to take on this and the cafe.

In 1928 they moved to the Bray House Hotel later called The Gresham and it was used as a WRNS HQ during the war. They were there until 1930s.

Does anyone know anything about them or the hotels or cafes they ran, are there any old images?

One of my grandad's holiday jobs as a young man was putting out the deckchairs on the promenade! Grandad, Sydney Dealtrey also had a job in  a chemists off broadway.

My dad's family came from Scruton bedale in yorks, the oonly ancestor I have is Richard Dealtrey b 1847 in Fornton and married Ann Pearse, in 1881 they were living in Newignton, london.
they had amy, albert, frederick, florence and daisy.
Albert r dealtrey  b 1880  married margaret walsh  and was my  gt grandfather and he had  albert sydney my grandad in 1913.

Looking at Richard b 1847 in fornton it gets confusing there seem to be a few possible matches all born in and around Scruton Bedale!!  I have his mariage cert which just lists his father as richard dealtrey! Not much help when there's more than one with that name and same birth year in the same area.

Does anyone have any dealtreys  or daltrys in their family trees for north yorkshie?
