London and Middlesex / High Street Walthamstow?

« on: Sunday 28 July 19 23:43 BST (UK) »

Hi,

I am researching for a friend.

Could anyone point me to any census records / reference details for an address in Walthamstow?It is an even number in the low 200s on the High Street. (I don't want to give the exact address). From what I've seen when trawling 1911 records so far, is that the enumerator did the odd numbers, and then did some of the even numbers, but didn't get to the address in question. Could it be recorded elsewhere? Or were the properties re-numbered at some point? The property itself does look like it has been built prior to the 1911 census.

Hope that makes sense!

Thank you!

Wiltshire / Savernake Hospital - who are these people in the photo?

« on: Sunday 13 January 19 12:51 GMT (UK) »

Hi,

Apologies for two questions in one post.

Through relatives descended from the Gregory family in Marlborough, I have come into possession of a copy of this photograph / postcard at : http://www.friendsofsavernake.org/official-posts-held-at-savernake-hospital-through-the-decades/

However, the photo / postcard that I have has been torn in half! I only have the right hand side of the photo (3 men at back, and two women at the front). From the website, I can see that one of the women is Matron Lavington, but would anyone know the names of the others, especially the women?

Also, does anyone know if and where a list of the nurses and other employess exists? I have already contacted the Friends of Savernake, but haven't heard anything yet.

Wiltshire / The Old Battling Place, Marlborough 1939?

« on: Monday 26 March 18 19:25 BST (UK) »

Another post from me today!

Looking at another branch of the family, I have found that they were living in Marlborough in 1939 at a place named 'The Old Battling Place' - does anyone have ideas where this place may be? Sounds like it could be a pub /inn?

Wiltshire / Photos of Pamplins in Marlborough?

« on: Monday 26 March 18 12:43 BST (UK) »

Hi,

I am researching the history / origins of my gt-grandfather Harold Nicholls. He was living with the Pamplin family in Wimbledon in 1911. This weekend I came across photos sent to him by Amy Pamplin and her sisters, inscribed 'your sisters'. The photographer mark is Marlborough, Wiltshire.

I am yet to find a connection between the Pamplin family and Wiltshire. Just posting on the off chance that someone else may be able to find one. Harold did marry in Wiltshire, but not sure how he ended up there (or met his wife from Wiltshire).

Surrey / Pamplin family of Wimbledon

« on: Monday 26 March 18 12:29 BST (UK) »

Hi all,

I have posted about my searches for the Pamplin family of Wimbledon, and their connection with my great-grandfather Harold John Nicholls.

I have come across family photos (taken in Marlborough, Wilts?) this weekend of Amy Pamplin (1906) and her sisters that were sent to Harold. They have been signed 'Your sisters'. (If I had known of these photos sooner, then I could have saved many hours of family tree searching!!)

Does anyone have connections to the Pamplin family that may be able to tell me more?

The Common Room / Finding a criminal conviction for theft in 1908?

« on: Saturday 28 January 17 16:42 GMT (UK) »

Hi,

i am trying to find out the details of a conviction for my great-Grandfather John (sometimes known as Jack) Easton in 1908, b 1897. From his Service records with the RAMC, I see that he was discharged on 12th June 1908 for " having been convicted of theft by the C.P". Other replies on previous posts suggest that this is a civil prosecution. He had previously got a good-conduct badge, and also had good service in the Navy, so finding this out is a bot of a surprise!

Does anyone know where to start looking for details of this case? So far, a newspaper search on another site yields nothing as far as I can see...

Armed Forces / 1908 reason for discharge?

« on: Saturday 28 January 17 14:41 GMT (UK) »

Hi,

I have seen an online version of my great-grandfather's service record with the RAMC. I can see that he got a 'good conduct' badge. However,later on he had to forfeit this. He was later discharged in 1908 and the reason is listed on the records, in quotation marks as "Having been convicted by the [gp / cp] of shaft" .

Can anyone tell me what the discharge reason may mean? Does it refer to a person, or an offence?

Thanks.

London and Middlesex / Sarah Ann Roberts / Sines / Nicholls / Privett 1877-

« on: Thursday 22 December 16 21:35 GMT (UK) »

Hi,

I wonder if any of you may be able to help with any info regarding Sarah Ann Roberts, born in Kingston 1877. As I have posted before, I am trying to trace the origins of my Great-grandfather Harold John Nicholls b 1902 ( born in Wimbledon to Sarah Anne Nicholls, fostered by the Pamplin family in 1911). I recently turned up a baptism record, recording the baptism of "Henry Herbert Nicholls and Agnes Annie Nicholls, illegitimate children of Henry Nicholls and Sarah Sines" in 1906, New Malden. Interestingly, both children are entered on the same row, and no address is given. I have also noticed that the entry is numbered incorrectly (804), the same as the entry above. Is it usual to enter 2 children on the same row, with no address? I have tracked Sarah Sines in 1911, with children, living in New Malden. She gives her status as widowed, living with brothers ( surnames Roberts) . She also states that she has 6 living children, but I can only find 5. I have found her marriage to a George Sines in 1895.

I am wondering where she was living in 1901, as I can't find her, and also what happened to George? The census entry for 1901 George Sines in Wales doesn't seem to match.

Any ideas?

Surrey / Who were the wives of Charles Davis, New Malden?

« on: Monday 08 June 15 22:38 BST (UK) »

Hi,

My family research has gone off on a bit of a tangent, and I am now researching Charles Davis (1832-1918). He was one of the founding members of the LME. I know that he had 3 wives, as it is mentioned in his will. He requests to be buried with the first 'Fanny [gosden?] d 1864', and says that the third 'Lydia Pamplin' has not been a good wife! Lydia had five children as mentioned in the will, although they seem to be fathered by a number of different people (she had a habit of giving the children names that closely resembled men that she knew...). Charles and Lydia married in 1911, when Charles was already quite elderly. Lydia then goes on to have further children.

I can't seem to find a record of the second wife? Any ideas?
