Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Blackburn - questionable parentage - William Almond
« on: Friday 17 December 10 17:59 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if scenario a) is the one

in 1881 there is a Sarah Ann married to a William Almond living in Darwen. Sarah was born in Kent.

There is a marriage of a Sarah Ann Woods to William Almond in 1845 in Blackburn cathedral.

perhaps William was born a little earlier than stated in 1901.

The children of William Almond in that 1881 all have the mmn of Woods

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Birth/baptism lookup please - Mallison

Mallison & Mallinson ae definitely interchangable. I have Mallison's (Todmorden) in my tree and even on some official documents the same person (and with a name like Marmaduke it is definitely the same family) can be Mallinson even though grave and some signed books we have say Mallison

Thanks Carol. I suppose that is what I am hoping to find - someone who knows the family or who has access to newspapers of the time.

I will try the electoral roll route.

Thank you for that info. I am fairly certain this is the person I am after. What I would really love to know is was she engaged to be married in 1918 and who to. I know the gentleman in question was killed sometime after March 1918 but I have no idea of his name. Family rumour has it that he was a registrar in Kent but this is the limit of my knowledge.

I have some details of her passage to Canada but the name is changed to Theaidia (various spellings). She always signed herself Dorrie when she wrote to my mother which seems to match the original Dora or Theodora. The occupation is correct as well but have been unable to find more than general details of her sponsor. I assume she went back before the war started as my father visited her whilst he was posted in Canada.

Is there any way I can find who was living at that address?

Looking for information please about a Dorrie / Theodora / Theadia Alice Saunders who had a photography studio in Toronto. I know the studio was open in the 1950's & 60's but do not know when it was actually opened or closed. I understand she also had some beach huts.

I am looking for information please on the family of a Theadora / Dora / Theadia Alice Saunders believed to have been born in the Maidstone area around 1893. Sh e moved to Blackpool for a short while then emigrated to Toronto where she owned a photography studio and I think some beach huts.
