« on: Thursday 03 November 16 11:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hi guys after years on FindMyPast and dozens of bought certificates there's still a few question in my family history that I would be very grateful for help from any experts.
My grandads sisters Emma born 1899 and elsie wilson born 1903 Wolverhampton daughter of robert and Annie in 1911 census, there's a marriage for Emma in 1921 which isn't her and two for elsie in 1920s, one of which may be her but can't find in Wolverhampton archive, id very much appreciate any help finding them after 1911.
Where was Sidney John kingdon buried after dying in swansea 1929, he was a baby and his mom was a catholic from cwmbwrla.
After purchasing my grandads war records I can't accurately find info on his brothers records to buy them, Samuel Hayward stokes born 1909 Yorkshire, John James stokes born Yorkshire 1905 and sidney Arthur stokes born swansea sept 1919. My grandad served in welsh guards but though I know they served it might have been a different unit, all lived in swansea at time..1930s-1940s.
Doras Eveline kingdon was born Winnipeg Canada 22 Nov 1913 to Bruce kingdon and rela viola kingdon, rela remarried to William drenner after Bruce died in 1916 but I can't find any info on doras or maybe Dora although William drenner died in America.

Hi, some of my Swansea descendents posted notices in the South Wales weekly Post and evening post in the late 1910's so I know they used the paper, the next time anyone pops to Swansea library or one where the paper are stored, could they please look up the possible following obituaries/tributes. They are usually published a few days after death by relatives in the announcement section or a year after on the anniversary.
Hannah Harris died jan 7 1942
Edward Stephen Stokes died February 1 1920 (called Stephen)
john james stokes died 6 mar 1943
Charles james harris 29 august 1930
Samuel Hayward stokes died dec 1946. Thanks for any help that anyone may give me in this matter.

Sorry, im an idiot, I just rechecked my notes and remembered Elizabeth jane kingdons daughter was the one who married richard johns. The Elizabeth jane kingdon I'm after was born Elizabeth jane morrish 1854 Barnstaple and married john limbear or limebeer in Swansea, 1874 and had daughter Elizabeth jane limebear in 1875. Then he died or divorced and Elizabeth limebear(morrish) married my great great granddad John Kingdon and had children Sidney, bruce, john, George in Barnstaple. Sorry again.

Hi guys, hoping someone can help me break down a few walls.
Can someone please identify where my great grandparents annie garner, b 1866, d June 1928, Wolverhampton and Robert Wilson born 1864, d 1937 dec 17 wolverhampton are buried? I visited merridale cemetery office, checked st marys church records and the Wolverhampton archive index without any luck yet.
Supposedly a portrait of the hangman Samuel haywood was in possession of the midlands haywood family up till the 1920's, does anyone know if it still exists?
Can anyone find a marriage date for john(jack) kingdon born 1856 Barnstaple and Elizabeth jane Johns, (maiden name Limebear or limebeer) b 1854,barnstaple. They're already married and on the Barnstaple census by 1881.
Anyone know when bridget calnan b 1835 Ireland and james Fitzpatrick b 1837 Ireland die? they were married in London, june 1861 and had children including mary ann b 1864 Glamorgan, James born Middlesex 1867 and Maurice 1868. they moved to wales by 1871.
I recently subscribed to FindMyPast and can find a birth date for Thomas j kingdon b 1928 Swansea, but not a death date. Extended family members say he died around 1966 but cant find him on freebdm.
Thanks for any help. best.

Family History Beginners Board / Kingdon Family Help
« on: Friday 28 August 15 15:17 BST (UK)  »
Hello, after buying some kingdon b/d/m certs, I've hit a dead end after discovering a large part of the kingdons from Barnstaple emigrated to Canada around 1900, only my great granddad Sydney john kingdon seemed to remain in Barnstaple before moving onto Swansea. Can anyone please tell me what happened to his parents and when they died in Canada or if they came back. His father was John (Jack) Kingdon born 1855 Barnstaple and listed as still alive on sid's marriage cert from 1908 and his mother was Elizabeth Limebeer born 1854 Barnstaple. I know sid's brother Bruce came back and died in the war but any help with john and Elizabeth and their own parents would be greatly appreciated so I can continue the line backward on ancestry. Matthew.

None really, I must have seen it somewhere on an index or ancestry but I'll leave it off from now:)
