London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Charles Fry - Stepney - 1901/1891 Census
« on: Tuesday 26 May 09 13:11 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for a Charles Fry on the 1891 or 1901 Census who was an Engineer.  He had a son called Frederick Fry b. abt 1888.  Frederick Fry married Rose Elizabeth Rawlings in Old Ford, London in 1910 of which I have the certificate.  Frederick was a Dock Labourer and his father was stated as Charles Fry, occupation Engineer.

Just can't seem to find Charles on the Census returns.  I have found Frederick on the 1911 Census. which says he was born in Stepney.

Anyone help?

US Lookup Requests / 1920 Census Lookup request: Richard Thomas Cross - Aurora, Illinois
« on: Sunday 17 May 09 01:09 BST (UK)  »
I was wondering if someone has access to the 1920 US Census that would kindly look to see if my great grandfather is listed on it.  I don't have a full subscription on Ancestry.

My great grandfather, Richard Thomas Cross b. 1877 Buckinghamshire, England went to live with his sister-in-law, Alice Girdwood and her husband Robert Templeton Girdwood in Illinois after the death of his wife Maria in Australia in 1916.  My grandad, Robert George Cross b. 1911 Wales and his sister Clara Cross b. 1907 England, grew up in the US, I believe they lived at 519 Spruce Street, Aurora, Illinois.

Would someone be able to look up these names on the 1920 Census for me please?  Thank you.

« on: Monday 27 April 09 11:13 BST (UK)  »
I have just discovered a second marriage to one of my Cross relatives which opens up a new line altogether!

Richard Richards Cross  b. 1844 Tingewick, Bucks married Martha King b. 1856 Chelsham, Surrey.  They had 2 children:

1.  John Richard (known as Richard) b. 1880 Chelsham, Surrey.  He married Eva Louise Walker b. 1884 Warlingham, Surrey.  They had children born in Warlingham between 1907 and 1923.

2.  Edward William b. 1881 Chelsham Surrey.  He married Eliza Cottingham b. 1881 Surrey.  They had children born in Warlingham between 1903 and 1923.

Wondered if there are any relatives out there??

I have in my possession a birth certificate of Edward Bramwell b. 28 June 1850 in Pilling.  He is the son of James Bramwell (farmer) and Hannah Mason.

Get in touch if you would like me to send it to you.  I ordered it and it was not my line.

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / 1861 Census - look up request
« on: Saturday 07 March 09 02:33 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone locate this family for me on the 1861 Census?

A George Bramwell married a Nancy Walker in 1851 in Clitheroe, Lancs. 

Nancy b. 1833 Clitheroe, Lancs and George b. 1829 Tideswell, Derbyshire. This George was a 22 yr old Police Constable on the 1851 Census living on Ashton Terrace, Clitheroe with Nancy's family.  Nancy was 18. 

I cannot find Nancy Bramwell (nee Walker) or George Bramwell the Police Constable on the 1861 Census.  Whether this means they both died between 1851 and 1861 or that Nancy died and George Bramwell remarried and changed professions as I have this possibility but it's in Staffs:

1861 Census - 66 Factory Street, Tipton, Staffordshire
George Bramwell-Head-Mar-30-Railway Lab-Derbys Tideswell.
Ann Bramwell-Wife-Mar-24-Lancs Clitheroe.
Edward Bramwell-Son-Un-8-Lancs Boscot.
William Bramwell-Son-Un-6-Lancs Newchurch.
Henry Bramwell-Son-Un-20 months-Staffs Tipton.
Septimus Bramwell-Lodger-Un-22-Railway Lab-Tideswell, Derbys.
Samuel Gibson-Lodger-Un-25-Railway Lab-Tideswell, Derbys.

And where is Boscot?

Thanks

New Zealand Completed Requests / Migration record - Wellington
« on: Tuesday 01 April 08 05:52 BST (UK)  »
I have found the following info:

16 November 1905, Richard and Maria Cross sailed on the ship ATHENIC, the masters name, C H Kempson and it was owned by Shaw Savill & Albion Co Limited, it sailed on that occasion with 521 passengers on board.  They arrived on New Years Day 1906.
CROSS Richd T 28 M 1905 London New Zealand Wellington   

They appeared to be on honeymoon as they married in London on 14 November 1905.
Is there anything else I could find out about this couple?
I would like to know how long they stayed in NZ.
Where did they stay?
Why did they go there?
When did they return to England?

I know they did not stay as I also have them sailing to Australia from England in 1912.

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Michelle
