Europe / Switzerland, (maybe), birth records.
« on: Saturday 23 November 19 01:27 GMT (UK) »
I am trying without much success to help someone find the birth record of their great, great grandmother.
The name Laure Constance Tissot, according to the 1881 uk census she was born 1853 Switzerland.
She married Henry Cliff in 1879, Nottinghamshire and died 1905 Lambeth, London. Also has her birth name listed as Laurie and Laura. On her marriage cert her father is listed as Henry Fredrick Tissot and there is a loose link on another document that suggests that she may of been born in Neuchatel.
Also looking for Juliette Lea or Lea Juliette Tissot born c1850/52 according to census's, she married Anatole Mclchior Journet in 1873, Westminster, London and died in 1909. Maybe sister.
Also a mystery lady, Rachel Cliff,(nee Tissot), born 1859 France.
We have all the information after their respective marriages but can't find any birth records or information on when they entered the uk.
Many thanks.

The Common Room / Where was my uncle Albert born?
« on: Saturday 25 May 19 01:49 BST (UK) »
Albert William Mcdonald born c1882.
Albert married Annie Maria Britten 31 Mar 1907 • St Philip, Battersea, London. Father is Joseph, (deceased).
In 1911 they were living at 5 Bewick St, Battersea. Birth place listed as London.
In 1939 they were living at 12 Gowrie Road, Battersea. Birth Date: 10 Nov 1882.
They had no children.
Albert's WW! record, Service number 2263 states he was born in Cornwall.
Albert died 10 Dec 1959, age 77. where he was living at 126, Tynemouth Road, Mitcham, Surrey.
I can't find him on the 1891 or 1901 census's or find the name of his mother.
One thing I remember about him from my childhood is that he and Annie always talked about someone who was living called Beatie. There are no Beatie's or Beatrice on Annie's side of the family so I assume she could be maybe a sister of Albert.
Any help appreciated, thank you.

The Common Room / Security issues with Ancestry.
« on: Saturday 18 May 19 03:07 BST (UK) »
Has anyone had security issues with Ancestry? A relative of mine parents have been contact by phone claiming to be from Ancestry asking questions and also received an email claiming to be from me. The tree in question is private and only my son has access to it but last year I had a message from another Ancestry member about this tree. They wanted to know if any living family member would be willing to give a DNA sample, I asked my son first if anyone would be willing and they agreed so I gave this person my son's email address and they made arrangements between them to do the test. The person who made contact with me lives in Australia and she met up with my son and his wife when she visited the UK. Now I suspect this person of using my email address and making the phone call, I have no idea of the living persons email address or phone number, ok a persons phone number can easily be found online but email address, I don't think so unless they have posted it on Facebook or similar.
