World War Two / CPO Robert Rains (RN).
« on: Saturday 20 October 07 14:03 BST (UK)  »
Wow. After 6 yrs hard labour I have found the name of the person that started my family tree research. My Mum and her twin were illegitimate and their fathers name was never placed on their birth certs. Their mother never told them his name and as far as we knew nobody knew who he was. After 6 yrs researching the rest of the family tree I happened upon a posting regarding the maternity home where my mum was born and who had the records. This morning, in the post I recieved my mums file and there on the admission sheet was my grand fathers name  ;D   C P Officer Robert Rains. So now obviously I am going to attempt to find out who he was. Can any one help me out regards locating files for sailors based in Gosport, Hampshire in 1945 (I know there was a lot of them!!!!!!). Heres hoping,
                         many regards, a very, very, very smiley sarah

Fife / Albert James Hibbard
« on: Tuesday 09 October 07 16:05 BST (UK)  »
I am wondering if someone could do a look up for this guy in the BMD/Parish records. He was bn 1896 in Woolwich, London and died (I Think) 1937 in Fife Hospital, Fife. He was a marine stoker based with his family in Gosport, Hampshire. I assume he died in Scotland whilst drafted to a ship of some sort.

Many regards, Sarah

« on: Monday 04 December 06 16:20 GMT (UK)  »
Wondering if some one can track this guy down for me, I am trying to find out if one of my guys (James Lightowler(s) - 1835) married first one sister Sarah Jagger (1838 - 1874) then went and married her younger sister Mary (1844 - 1910). I would like to find both girls at home with parents Jeremiah and hannah in the Shelf area. If you do find them, take a moment to admire the sons names.

Many regards, Sarah

Spotted this on the bbc news website, not sure if anyone on here is connected to this couple but if they are I'm sure this will help their research

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / 1871 Look up please
« on: Sunday 30 July 06 13:42 BST (UK)  »
Trying to find two brothers
William M Teale, bn 1849 in Leeds and Thomas A Teale bn 1855 in Hunslet. In 1861 they are living with their grand mother Mary Laycock bn 1795 in Dewsbury. They are living in Zion Street, Leeds. In 1881 the two brothers are living Peacock court just off Zion Place so I assume they are in that area in 1871 but blowed if I can find them. They also have a sister Emma bn 1851 in Leeds. Can't find her after 1861

Thanks in advance, Sarah
