Oliver Gasson
« on: Wednesday 15 February 06 11:46 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Wonder if anyone may be able to help

My great grandfather had eight children and have managed to track down most of them, the elusive one is Oliver Gasson
He was born in 1886 and I found him on the 1891 and 1901 census, but then nothing, I have had contact with his granddaughter in Australia and she is trying to find her links back to Halton Road Hastings. I believe he died about 1960

Can any one help, both she and I would be grateful for any shippets

Many thanks

Hi Girlstitcher

Although I live in Hastings and not to far from Halton Road, I am afraid most of my archives are 19th century and backward - I have practically nothing on the 20th Century.

Gasson was a very popular surname here in Hastings in the past.

I would love to help you, but my info is rather restricted
Sorry

Hi,
are you still looking for information re Oliver Gasson?.  My grandfathers name was Oliver Gasson and he was married to Jessie i believe.  They had a son named John born around 1913 who emigrated to Australia in early 1950's and of course he is my father.
I am trying to find my family as I know nothing at all about my fathers side of the family.
A friend has done a small amount of research on my family history and says she has found Oliver Gasson migrated to New Zealand and died around 1960-1970 but not sure if this is him or not.

Hi the Oliver Gasson b c 1885 died in the UK in 1965 Hastings, the reason he could not be found after the 1901 census, unless you have a sub to the 1911, was he was in India, with the Army, his pension/medical records are on An*****y, he lost sight of his right eye in India, if anyone needs any info re his Army life, even though I am no relation, please either post on thread or PM me ok

he had suffered injury, Yes I would like any further information, you may be able to furnish, many thanks.
Secondly, to Banker hello, you are my husbands cousin........., his father Reuben, and Oliver were brothers. The information you gave regarding Jessie etc I can fill you in as I have been researching the Gasson family for a good few years and have family information old and new.
If you would like I can help with some things...........but with personal e-mails if you send me yours I will contact you
All the very best and Many thanks
