England / Desperately seeking my family
« on: Wednesday 09 February 11 15:32 GMT (UK) »
Hi. I am trying to trace my family or at very least find out more. My biological grandfather was Francis Frederick Eaves (I have no birth details) who married Frances Mary Bennett who was born 25.08.1920 and is now deceased. They had a daughter named Christine Mary in the UK. Frances Mary Whittle was later married to Joseph Whittle. They lived in Birmingham, UK but Mary and Joseph Whittle later moved to Johannesburg, South Africa and then Cape Town and had two more daughters, Sandra and Sheila.
Frances Mary Bennets fathers name was William Henry Bennett. I have one faded address that looks like 36 Srechford Road, Waid End. Mary and Joseph Whittle were married in Birmingham.
Joseph Whittle resided at 72 Woolacrmlie Road (old writing, very difficult to read), Selly Oak when he and Mary married on 23.07.1949
Joseph Whittle was married before this to Margaret Elizabeth Jackson. He owned a jewellery shop together with a jewish partner in Cape Town.
Joseph Whittle ID No : 2004245045109 and he became a South African citizen on 4.1.2001 Doc No 1558/01ks. He had I think 7 brothers and a sister named Joan.
Joseph and Marys daughter, Christine Whittle married for the second time to Andrew Arthur Fish and had two children, one being me, Jacqueline Lisa Fish.
I realise I have very little to go on but I feel lost not knowing so much about my family and advice would be most welcome as i am brand new to investigating family tree.
If anyone can help I would be most grateful.
Thank you
Jackie
