Family History Beginners Board / Harry Stratton
« on: Monday 17 July 23 09:04 BST (UK)  »
I am seeking on information on the marriage of this gentleman b 1863 Otterbourne Hants son of Charles Stratton b1833 and Mary Lock b1842.
There appears confusion with his brother George or a Henry George.
A candidate is Laura Westbrook but checking on BMD she did not marry him.
There are according to my tree 3 children there is Jessie Mary & GRO confirm mothers name Westbrook.
Tried the same exercise on the other children John Henry and Fredrick Edward but could not find anything on GRO.
Another candidate was Alice Hopkins but cannot match a marriage to Harry
There is 1889 a marriage to one George Stratton and in 1890 a marriage to Alfred Hitchcock!!
George Stratton married Rosina Tucker in Dec 1894 at Sothampton
Convoluted situation, so any assistance greatly appreciated!! David

I am seeking information on this gentleman.

In the 1901 census he is shown Southampton with his wife(?) Alice Ada  shown as birth place Barnstaple age 24. In the 1911 census his birth place is Torrington,Devon!
I am having difficulty finding a marriage record as I do not have Alice Ada's maiden name...have trawled thru BMD with no success .

Family History Beginners Board / James Parfitt 1635-1687
« on: Friday 28 April 23 16:02 BST (UK)  »
This man has appeared on family tree I am working on with Ancestry.
It has thrown up a marriage to Eleanor "Nell" Gwyn 1650-1687 in 1653!
I know she was one of Charles the Second mistress' and had children by him..but cannot find in history a marriage to James Parfitt...could it be true??
Seems unlikely to me....Thank you for your opinions.David

Family History Beginners Board / Fanny Phillips 1839 -1933
« on: Friday 24 February 23 13:45 GMT (UK)  »
This lady is the daughter of Thomas Phillips 1798-1880.
He married twice Susanna Trueman (1796-1840) on 13 Dec 1817
Later Elizabeth Sloper (1800-1864) on 24th Feb 1853.

He had a daughter Fanny Phillips born Dec 1839.Devizes.
When I checked her Mothers Name on GRO it shows as Baker.
Ref Hungerford 6:page 188. Not Trueman.
Also the other siblings, such a Robert b 1819 picking up on Ancestry hints a mothers name of Elizabeth Gilon....!
Appreciate opinions why these different mothers names..
Thank You David

Family History Beginners Board / Duncan Family
« on: Sunday 19 February 23 06:40 GMT (UK)  »
Would appreciate assistance with tracking the Duncan family.
George Duncan born in 1925 in Aberdeenshire. His parents who married in 1911 were William McHardy Duncan & Catherine Margaret Oliphant Shepherd.
The relative detail was Annie Duncan (deceased)...his mother??
Catherine died in 1960 drowning in Aberdeen Harbour. Death record states widow of said William McHardy Duncan. Mother Mary Ann Shepherd, no father, so illigitimate.
I am told that George had 2 siblings, a brother, William, who was older(?) and an unamed sister.
I have found that using Scotlands People doing searches where there are no 'images', order cert only frustrating...how do I know what certs to order?
There may a better way...Ancestry not very forth comng..or Family Search
Need the expertise of you good guys! Many Thanks! David

« on: Sunday 20 November 22 10:17 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for information on this lady who allegedly was born abt 1845 in Twyford Hants...cannot find record of this...one of the problems I found was varying spellings of the name. She had a child called Rhoda Shackleton Annals in 1870 who I believe was illigitimate daughter of James Annals.
I do not think they actually married.? However there is a marriage of a James Annals to a Sarah Jane Evans Dec 1873.
Thank You for your assistance David
