The Lighter Side / Re: Heir raising moment -spooky or what ?!?
« on: Friday 13 May 16 13:15 BST (UK)  »
Since doing my family tree two incidents have stood out. When we went to Nottingham we decided to drive round to see if we could see my mums old house from when she was a child and also other family members homes, having never driven around the area before, I thought I would end up lost, but I managed to find each house I was looking for - it was almost as if someone was driving for me.

The second incident was when I was at our local records office looking through a number of burial records, all in books by year and as I looked through them I piled them to one side, when I got to the last book without finding what I was looking for the pile beside me fell down onto the table again and one of them fell open.... right there in front of me was the information I was looking for.  :o

Does the child have a middle name? sometimes the mothers added the fathers surname as a middle name.

Hi, I'm looking for some advice.

My great grandfather Daniel Green (Irish Roman Catholic) married Lily Guest nee Goddard (not catholic) in Nottingham in 1920. On his wedding cert it says his father is James Green deceased. Daniels job description is ex Army.

To trace Daniel's family backwards I went into the 1901 Irish census and there is a James Green wife Mary and his daughter Eliza aged 27 and grandson Daniel aged 14. Living in Durrow Queens Co.

Fast forward to 1911 and Eliza is now married to Willie Jackson living in Nottingham with their daughter and Daniel who is now her brother, the place of birth for both is Durrow Queens Co.  The birth dates are all a bit out by a year or two but I am convinced they are the right people because my Daniel had lost his right arm at some point and the census advises us that he indeed is missing his right arm. I cant imagine there would be more than one Daniel Green in 1911 in Nottingham with one arm from Ireland. Family tale also states that Daniel came to the UK with his mother, but no reason why.
So my thoughts are..... Daniel is indeed Eliza's son, but when she moved to the UK she listed him as her brother, I'm guessing so she could marry well.

Therefore how do I find out which Army Daniel was in, am presuming Irish.
I can find no record of him and Eliza coming to the UK.
I cant find any record of any further children for James and Mary.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
Beth

I believe there is a story in the Long Eaton Adviser dated Feb 26th 1915 of this man and a photo.  Would anyone be so kind to have access and send it to me.. very much appreciated.
