Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Burial 1915

Hi CaroleW, thank you for your reply. My Gran was Norah Lillian Delany and her husband was Gerard Sheriff Evans. There are two links with North Wales that I know of - Gran's grandmother was from Denbighshire originally but moved to Cheshire and then Staffordshire - Gran's sister Blanche, who was the baby's Godmother, married there in a few years after the baby's Death to a Welsh man from South Wales, a School teacher. The baby died from pneumonia . Thanks for your help , it is much appreciated.

My Gran, who was born in Bilston, married at the Church of the Oratory,Birmingham in 1913. She and her husband lived in Gravelly Hill, Birmingham and their son, John Walter Evans was born in Dec 1914. Sadly the baby died in Rhyl in 1915. I don't know what my gran was doing in Rhyl but her home address is shown as Gravelly Hill on the death cert. I'm now trying to find out where the baby is buried, I checked with local archives at Rhyl but they couldn't find him there. I've looked on Birmingham archives and can't see him there either.

Armed Forces / RAF Cranwell
« on: Sunday 05 November 17 17:52 GMT (UK) »
Hi, have recently discovered a relative who was a Boy Apprentice at RAF Cranwell in 1924. He went on the serve in the RAF during WW2 and his death certificate from 1988 states he was a retired Warrant Officer. Does anyone have any pictures from Cranwell circa 1924? His service record isn't online as yet but I do know that I can apply for his service records for a fee.

Thanks Shaun, I think this might be one family mystery that remain unsolved!

« on: Wednesday 22 March 17 09:58 GMT (UK) »OK got it - page 248 of Part 1.Hi Shaun, where did you see this reference to him not having legitimate children? If Fanny was a "True" daughter born before he married in 1839 would he not acknowledge her and say he had no legitimate children? Or maybe he wasn't her birth father at all!
No legitimate children, one marriage only (Georgina Wagstaff in 1839)

Hi Shaun, Got it in one! Fanny Lascelles was my Great Great Grandmother. She married Barnett Ford in Cochin in 1845. Census records says she was born in Canterbury . Her marriage records gives Edmund Wilson Lascelles as her father - no mention of her Mother. Georgiana Sarah Lascelles died in Cochin in March 1845. I recently made contact with a distant relative who has a great deal of info on this family which includes pictures. Info on the reverse of some states that Fanny's Mother was Sarah Georgiana Guildford and that Fanny was one of twins, the other child being Julia who died in 1830. There was also a son born but didn't survive. There is a birth record for twins Ann and Julia for Oct 1829 to a Georgiana and Richard Wagstaff. Edmund's marriage cert gives Georgiana Wagstaff's father a Richard! You can see where I'm coming from! The Marriage in Dowlais in 1839 coincides with the regiment being in Newport Chartists Uprising. Any help will be much appreciated.
