England / SEWANCKE surname - what should it really say?
« on: Wednesday 17 November 04 22:05 GMT (UK)  »
I have just received a marriage certificate and, unfortunately, it is not a photocopy of the original but transcribed by the local registry office.

One of the witnesses (or so it says) is Charles John SEWANCKE.  I am certain that the surname is a mistranscription of something else................. any ideas?

I've been researching this family for well over a decade and the name isn't even remotely familiar.  He could have been a church official but it would be nice to find out.

Even a WWW search comes up with nought!

Incidentally it's Folkestone, Kent 1878.

TIA

Census and Resource Discussion / Is the Times still online?
« on: Sunday 07 November 04 15:43 GMT (UK)  »
Is anybody still able to acess "The Times" online?

If not, is there not a free online index?

KCC (Kent) libraries only appear to have data from very recent years.

TIA

Lancashire / 20c family in Oxford Drive, Liverpool
« on: Sunday 07 November 04 14:05 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking to find the true surname of the following couple:

"Jackie" & Harriett BIRDGE/BURGE/BURGESS  ??? etc.

Unfortunately, family information is conflicting and not clear as to the correct surname and all I know is that the couple were living at Oxford Drive, Waterloo, Liverpool sometime during WW2 when Harriett died.  Whether "Jackie" is a pet name for John I can't be sure.  Family information is that they had a son, also "Jackie" who was in the "Navy" and lost with his ship ............. and a daughter Edna.  Also that "Jackie" senior worked for the government during the war .................. Ministry of Food?

Harriett, sister to my gt grandfather, was local to Kent and the couple previously lived in London before moving to Liverpool but I have yet to locate their marriage - Harriett was born 1894.

I am aware that street directories/electoral registers were scarse during the war period but I would welcome any look ups that are available and perhaps an indication of where Harriett may have been cremated/buried given the address.

Any help greatly appreciated as I have no knowledge of Liverpool.

TIA  :)

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / UPDATE 1861 Bow, Upper Clapton, Mile End, Hackney look up please HAGGER
« on: Tuesday 26 October 04 14:39 BST (UK)  »
I am still stuck here if anybody can help

Have now searched 1861 without success 17/3/2005

I am not sure which indexes, if any, are available for the Bow, Upper Clapton, Mile End, Hackney area for 1861 but I am looking for:

Samuel HAGGER bc1852 Bow

Mother, Hannah HAGGER bc1823 Walthamstow/Toll House, Middlesex/Essex

Possible father, Henry HAGGER (a butcher) but this may be a red herring as I have yet to locate any suitable Henry HAGGER/Hannah marriage in the bmd indexes.  Nor is there any suitable birth entry for Samuel.

Samuel is in Upper Clapton 1871 but as a lodger!

I would be most grateful for a look up in any available indexes.

Many thanks

Completed Census Requests / 1861 census look up please HAGGER
« on: Tuesday 26 October 04 10:29 BST (UK)  »
I would be most grateful for a look up for the following in the 1861 census of Essex - probably in the Walthamstow, Leyton etc. West Ham area:

Samuel HAGGER bc 1852 Bow or Leyton

Hannah HAGGER (mother) bc 1823 Walthamstow or "Toll House"

Possibly father Henry HAGGER, a butcher, but this may be a red herring as I can't find any marriage for a Henry HAGGER to Hannah at present.

Possible variant spelling HAGGAR

Any help greatly appreciated - been stuck here about 15 years!

Many thanks
