Armed Forces / Birkenhead Territorial Army
« on: Monday 06 July 15 09:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am trying to find information on my granddad's time in Birkenhead territorial army.  He was in the territorial army before the start of WW2 and was one of the first to be called up (I believe).  He was in the war until the end and am trying to find any information on him while he was in the TA before the war and his service history during the war and just don't know where to start any help would be appreciated.

His name was William Joseph Barnes born 1913.

Many thanks

Bedfordshire / Davies/Harrison/Smith
« on: Saturday 10 January 15 13:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
Requiring some help if someone can sort this one out.  Trying to get back further on a line and having trouble.  Oliver E Davis married a Marea Gertrude Harrison in Bedford in September 1918 they had four girls which I have found but on the the first two births MMN is Harrison and on the later two Smith I cannot find a marriage for a Davis to a Smith in the time frame and cannot find a death for Marea Harrison in the same period. Marea Gertrude Davis (Harrison) died in June 1966 in Bedford which would have made her about 79 which means she would have been born in about 1887 but cannot find a birth for her in Bedfordshire or Buckinghamshire but I can find a birth for as Smith in the September quarter of 1887.  I would love to find her on the census records but don't know where to start but their she may have German ancestry.  I know its a bit of a long shot but any help would be gratefully received.

Oxfordshire / Barnes Family
« on: Monday 30 December 13 17:29 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I am currently researching the Barnes Family from Henley, Oxfordshire.


Ann Maria Barnes married Frederick Rose Sept 1879 at High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, I have managed to find all their children I am now working back from Ann Maria.

Ann Maria Barnes parents are William Barnes born c1826, Shoemaker and Sophia Woodley married 1857 Henley On Thames.  I have found all William and Sophia children.

The problem I have hit is that on the 1851 census William is at home with his siblings (Martha, John, Francis and Margaret) and mother (Maria) but he is not on the 1841 census and on both census his father is missing I am having trouble getting any further back than William with the resources I have access too any help would be gratefully received.

Wiltshire / John Rose - Chippenham
« on: Monday 30 December 13 14:01 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I have posted the below in the Buckinghamshire topics i have also decided to post on this board  as well as the John Rose b c1806 may have come from Chippenham, Wiltshire I am trying to find any siblings or his dad i think his mothers name was Priscilla any help would be appreciated.

John Rose married Ann Harmon haven't managed to find any marriage for them at the moment

they had the following children

Emma 1821
James 1823
Eliabeth 1828
Charles 1830
Abraham 1832
Lucey 1835
Louisa 1838
John 1839
Carolne 1843
George 1845
Thomas 1847

These children i have managed to find on the 1841 and 1851 census's i also believe that their was possible at least one other child Mary b1826?  All the children and Ann Harmon were born in Little Marlow Bucks.  I also believed that John Rose was born in Little Marlow, Bucks but having found him on the 1851 census it says his birth town was in Chippenham in Wiltshire an his mum was Priscilla also born in Chippenham, Wiltshire how would i go about verifying this and finding out John fathers name.

Also it mentions the John's occupation was Alms of Parish does anyone know what this would have been.

Buckinghamshire / Rose Family High Wycombe Bucks
« on: Saturday 04 May 13 13:13 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am currently researching the Rose family i have got back to Frederick Rose born C 1880 born in Henley Oxfordshire parent William Rose and Ann Maria Barnes.

William Rose was born C 1856 this is where i am having trouble I am trying to find either birth, christening or marriage record for William as when looking on the census for 1871 there are two records for William born c 1856 one at Eghams Green, Wooburn and one at Well End, Little Marlow.  His children on the 1891 census are born in Little Marlow and Wooburn so cannot seem to find the right William Rose.  I don't know which William Rose is mine I think i have gone back up the wrong William Rose line and the one i have got is all wrong. 

Is there anyone that can sort my quandary out.

Thanks

« on: Thursday 20 December 12 18:13 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I am looking for Fredrick William Rose he married Alice Ethel Clark on 28th August 1920 in Cookham Dean in Berkshire he was 19 years old so i make he's birth about 1901.  I can't seem to find his birth record of him on the 1911 census and he may not be old enough to be on the 1901 census.  His father's name is Frederick as well and he was a polisher.  Frederick William Rose was a chair maker.  Any help would be very much appreciated i thought getting his marriage certificate would help but I'm still at a brickwall.
