Hi - !! so excited you found the message !    My mothers name before she married was Joan Lane.  She married my father, James (Jim) Robinson. He was a sailor !    He sadly passed away about 30 years ago.    Mum went on to have me and my brother.   We had children too.   

Hiya,

Have spoken to my Mum and sadly Mac (Marjorie's husband) passed away a couple of years ago. They went on to have three children; Richard, Sally & Barbara.

My Mum is going to call her Mum (Pat) & get a message to Marjorie.

Hi - I was chatting to my mother yesterday (7.1.17) about her early life (she is 89) and she mentioned a friend from Bristol called Marjorie Wyatt who lived at the Three Queens pub in Bristol.  Mum said that the pub was bombed in the war and Marjorie let the horses out of the stables so they may live.  (I presume they were dray horses).  Marjorie apparently suffered an injury of a piece of glass in her foot.  I googled the Three Queens pub and found this website.   I also have two pictures of (I presume) Majorie and her husband (called Mr Mcgill ? or Macgill ?)    I have only just found all this out   .   Mum does not have any pictures of the pub.  She was wondering how Marjorie got on in life and what has become of her.

Hi! How lovely to hear a little snippet of my family history from you. Marjorie (nee Wyatt) is my great aunt my Nan is Patricia her sister. There was also Dick & Barbara who have both passed away. Their mother was Laura Lillian Wyatt.
My Nan can remember the exact date & time the incendiary bomb fell on the roof of the Three Queens. They were all in the cellar as the sirens were going off, when somebody they knew came down to tell them to leave as the roof was on fire. Nan talks about when she would hop on the back of the dray-pulled carts. They were from George's brewery which was at the back of the Three Queens. Nan has a long story she recants about that night. What they did, where they had to look around for shelter & I think they ended up at St Mary Redcliffe. When they went back to the pub it was in cinders. Marjorie is still very much alive & still married to Mac! They still live in Bristol. What is your mothers name? I don't often see great auntie Marj but can pass a message on via my Nan. I finally got to see what the Three Queens looked like. It was a picture taken above Bristol but will see if I can find it, so that you can show your Mother.
Thanks for getting in touch!

Looking this up for someone in USA, Aaron left and married there, he was a coalminer.

Need to see if he was on any census records 1861 & 1871 and potential parents, as they have no idea of parents names!

Think he was from the Walford area of East Dean but may not have been born there

Any info appreciated!

My Great-Grandmother was landlady of the Three queens in Thomas St (listed as being landlady between 1935-1938). The pub was bombed out we believe during WW2.

We've been looking for years for a picture of the pub but haven't been able to find one anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions at all on where we should look   Have even tried books of old bristol pubs with no luck.

Any information gratefully received!!!

Hi there,

I have Taysum/Taysom/e's in my family tree, the link being my G G G Grandfather, William Symonds/Simmonds/Simons who married a Sarah Taysum who was born in Arlingham in 1807.

I thought I would ask some advice as you all seem to know the Taysum's rather well!

I have been able to confirm that Sarah definitely married William through the birth certificate of Aaron (my G G Grandfather). The glos BMD index said her maiden name was definitely Taysum, and I ordered a copy of the cert to check over the details, and am sure that Sarah married my G G G Grandfather William.

I have searched all available records and have so far come up with a blank as to when and where Sarah and William may have married. I am desperately trying to find information about William, as I am hitting a brick wall with searching the Irish records. I thought that maybe a record of their marriage may give me a little more information, but have no more ideas on where to look!

Any help or suggestions gratefully received
