Hi Everyone,

I was recently contacted by a distant relative (my fathers cousins daughter) looking for information about her grandmother and her grandmothers family. The ladies father had been led to believe that his mother had died when he and his three siblings were quite young.
Through alot of research and contact with other distant family members I have found that my fathers aunt left her husband ( the reason why is unknown), however she went on to have 6 more children.
During the course of my research, I have also found that two of the ladies fathers siblings have a different mother to him and his sister.

I honestly feel at this moment in time that I shouldnt pass on any of the information I have found out to this lady as I dont want to open a can of worms so to speak or upset her or her father and the family he has grown up with.

I just wondered if anyone else in the course of thier research had come across something like this and how you dealt with it.

Hi,
I am researching my family tree and it seems that one of my great grandfathers sisters Clara Bramwell got married about 1905 in New Bedford to a Robert Hartley.

They had three daughters, Bertha born 1906, Annie born 1908 and Maud born 1909, they were all born in a place which I was led to believe was called River Fall, Massachuttes, but it is more likely to be Fall River.
I,m hoping some kind person if possible could do a look up for me of thier births and also see if the three daughters married.

Kind Regards

Hi All,

I,m hoping that someone could kindly do a marriage look up for me for my 3x great grandfather  Ralph Bramwell and his third wife.
Her name was either Mary O'Connor or Mary Kelly according to two trees that I have seen on another site and they married sometime between 1852 and 1855 in Bolton.
I really want to find out which Mary he married and would be very grateful for any help anyone can give me.

Regards

Hi All,

I,m going to have a slight moan but it is also a warning to all members researching thier family trees. 
Yesterday I went on the Ancestry site and came across someones tree which has my great grandmother on it with information on it that is not true. This persons tree has my great grandmother as passing away in Cambridge, Somerset, Maine, USA when infact my great grandmother died in Cambridge, England.
My great grandmother passed away at my grandparents house in Nuttings Road, I went to her funeral and being the eldest great granddaughter she left me her wedding ring.

I am so cross that who ever this person is has not researched thier information correctly, which sadly seems to be quite comman for alot of  peoples trees on Ancestry, which in turn leads to alot of confusion for people researching thier family trees.
If you use Ancestry at all please make sure that the information you have is correct or that the information some else may have in a tree there is correct even if you have to keep checking the information until you get it right.
Thanks for letting me moan.

Hi All,
I have hit a complete brick wall with this for the last few years and am hoping someone will be able to give me a little help.

My great grandfather whose surname was Wheeler owned a builders firm on seven sisters road in Tottenham, I dont know what my great grandfathers first name was and this is where I hoping someone could help.
My great grandmother was a Rawley by birth, I believe she may have been born in Edmonton, which is where my grandfather was born before my great grandmother married my great grandfather.

Really I am looking to go a bit further with my tree and because my grandfather was the black sheep of the family and didnt have anything to do with his parents this is the only information I have.

Regards
Nettie
