Can anyone help with some information to help me track down this dead Great Grandfather.  He was born in 1862, am not sure where but possibly England, he died on 23 March 1914 at sea on the S.S. Olympic.  I am new at this so any help would be appreciated> :)

You might already have researched this, but apparently there is a street called Raurich in Barcelona. 

Vinyals is a more likely spelling in Catalan or Vinals (with the tilde accent ~ on the N) in Castilian.

Rauric is also a village in Tarragona, Cataluna province.  There is a castle with the same name. The "H" ending is the Castilian spelling.

All this from my sis in Barcelona.  If you need any help with translating, give a shout! (We also have a resident Rootschatter in Cataluna)

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Births Mar 1907  
Vernal  Evelyn Vinals     Holborn  1b 582
Deaths Sep 1910  
Vernal  Evelyn V  3  Lambeth  1d 111

possibles for Vinals as a middle name though the v could just as easily stand for Victoria etc.

VERNAL  Isabella V  12  Southwark  1d 15

Births Sep 1913  
VERNAL  FRANCES R C V  CRSSFORD  Lambeth  1d 573

I have found a child born to the Judd and Vinals couple above.

I think it is probably the Theresa Raurich formerly Vinals nee unknown who was aged 36 on the 1871 census and born Catalonia that Kurow is interested in.
From the British records available the starting point for knowing that Theresa's maiden name would be her second marriage

Marriages Sep 1867   
Raurich  Salvador     St. Geo. East  1c 888   
VINALS  Teresa     St George East  1c 888

This would give her father's name and occupation. To find her first husband's full name and occupation the British record to access would be his son's marriage.

Marriages Mar 1879   
CURTIS  Lucy     Islington  1b 233   
Vinals  Ramon     Islington  1b 233

This record would give his father's name and occupation.

With the knowledge from these two certificates and the 1871 census you would would know Theresa's approximate date and place of birth circa 1835 in Catalonia and her full name and father's name and her first husband's name and their approximate date of marriage - circa 1852 probably in Catalonia as well, since Ramon was 18 on the 1871 census.

You can send for either or both certificates from the General Registry Office.

I believe this gentleman was my grandfather. He was employed as a corkmaker in a small island off the coast of Chile. I am the daughter of the late Salvador Vinals Vernal who was born in Chile 12 July1899. My father was of the second marriage of Pedro to Helen Cessford. He was the eldest of 7 children born of this marriage. Two siblings died in infancy - Isabelle and Evelyn.  My dad, along with his mother and siblings Richard, Victoria and Lillian (twins) and Frances travelled to New Zealand by sea some time around 1915. The family had left from England to make this trip earlier but my grandfather died of a burst appendix and was buried at sea.

My dad spoke with very warm memories of his step brother Ramon whom he lost contact with. He always wondered where he was and named his firstborn son after him. My dad passed away on 20 March 1996 four months short of his 97th birthday.

Hi Greco2

Welcome to Rootschat!  :D

Unfortunately we never did hear whether the OP was happy with the information that was found for him/ her -  :-\ - but it looks as though they were online today, so hopefully they will make contact and you will be able to discuss your family.  How exciting for you both!

You will need to make at least one more post before you can make or reply to Personal Messages but feel free to reply here in order to "qualify".  Please remember not to discuss living people on th open boards.

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Hi Greco2

Thanks for your information, this is the side of the family I am interested in.
 Frances was my Grandmother and although she is deceased now we are still trying to find information about the family. 
I am trying to find out about Pedros first marriage and if there were children born of that marriage.

Ramon is a mystery to us too, I believe he is somewhere in South America.

Sorry I have been so late replying

Hi
I am the great grand daughter of Pedro Vinals and Margaret Hollingworth, who were divorced in 1907.
I have information on Pedro's family with Margaret.  Sadly I have nothing on Ramon.
Do you have a marriage date and place for Pedro and Helen Cessford?  I have been unable to locate that information.

Hello Jill

I have been unable to located any information with regards to a wedding between Pedro and Helen.
I suspect Ramon and Alfred are the same person.
I know that Pedro and Helen had the 4 children from his first marriage living with them in England.

Hope that helps you.

Hi Greco2!

I'm Javier Vargas from Chile.
I speak a little english and i used the translator ... My great-grandfather was Ranón Viñals Hollingworth, father of my maternal grandmother. He was born in Edinburgh. He lived in the city of Puerto Montt, in the south of Chile.
I think it could be your grandfather's brother.
I have little information, only the death certificate, a photo, and some stories of my grandmother who unfortunately died years ago.
It would be a pleasure to share more information.

Hi Javier

You will get a surprise to hear from me, I am also an ancestor of Pedro Vinals, who was the father of your great grandfather Ranon and the stepsister of Ranon, who we have known as Alfred Raymond Lewis Vinals.

 You have many relatives scattered around through New Zealand, Australia, England and possibly Scotland.
 Perhaps you could tell me the sort of information you are looking for and I can help.

Can you tell me anything else that happened in Chile when Pedro, Helen and the children were over there.  Pedro and Helen took some of the children from Pedros marriage to Margaret Hollingworth with them and some of my family were born in Chile to them as well. We have no photos of Pedro at all and none taken in Chile.

I am not sure if Greco2 is still online

Hello Robyn!
Nice to meet you.
2 years ago I visited England and Scotland (Edinburgh) .. at that time I tried to find out about the ancestors of the family (my mother was especially interested).
My great-grandfather Ramón lived until the early 60's and his brother Alfredo lived until 1971. Unfortunately he never had contact with his family.
My grandmother was called Andrea Viñals Velásquez and had 4 brothers, all of them died many years ago. She told me some things about her family and her desire to have known them.
She knew of relatives in the city of concepción (chile) and in Brazil.. From this country they visited it once, relatives who were on vacation in the 90s.
Personally I find it interesting to be able to contact descendants of the family and know something of the family history.
I do not know if I can post a photo .. I'll try.

I appreciate your response, and I could investigate more information ..
We are in contact!..

Hello Javier,

I am also a distant relation of Pedro Vinals.
Pedro's son Salvador was my great-grandfather.
I think that Greco2 was my great Aunt? I am sorry to say that she died a few years ago.
Her brother Ray was my Grandfather. His two sons my father and uncle are still alive.
I was very young when Ray died but I believe he was a very talented pianist.

I'd appreciate any information you could tell me about Pedro Vinals.
From what I understand he had a total of 13 children maybe more?
6 with his wife and 8 with my great-grandmother.
