Norfolk / Re: George and Smith families Great Yarmouth
« on: Thursday 22 November 18 10:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hello there.

It’s been quite a number of years since I posted this and sadly I never really got a chance to dig much further into it all but I do appreciate your reply! It’s great to hear from you and really nice to know the answers to a few of our burning questions.

Which of Annie’s daughters have you spoken to? Since I posted this we have unfortunately lost my nan (Annie’s daughter June) so there aren’t many of the sisters surviving now.

Thank you for clarifying about Arthur, I’d always been told it was WWI I needed to be searching for him so it explains why I couldn’t find anything. It’s a shame I didn’t as my nan would have loved to know about his medals and where he was buried.

I unfortunately do not know anything about Hilda. My nan previously mentioned that she had an aunt Alice from her mother’s side but I never got far enough in my research to find anything out about her so my knowledge is quite limited.

Best wishes to you and thank you for your reply after all this time!

Yep I think I need to get the certificates to pursue this properly (though it can be rather costly to keep buying certificates which is why I haven't yet.)

I'm thinking that could be the right family for James, when I've looked around online at possible matches I've seen that one before but I'll verify it, hopefully!

Thanks for all your help everyone :)

Norfolk / George and Smith families Great Yarmouth

I've been trying to trace my nan's side of the family but have been given extremely little information so I'm really struggling. I can't find any information at all on her grandparents, but they both lived in Great Yarmouth.

Her father was James William Smith (1904 - 1967). My nan has told me her grandmother was Julie (I believe her dates are roughly 1872 - 1954) and he had sisters Alice, Lily and May. However, the only thing I'm absolutely sure of is James and his dates. I've searched the 1911 census and can't find anything that fits. I do believe at some point in life Julie lived on Row 8 in Great Yarmouth.

Her mother was Annie Elizabeth George (1907 - 1984). She had a brother Arthur who died in WWI, a sister Alice and a brother Roney (a nickname I think). But I just can't find anything concrete, no census records of either families to give me a clue to continue this line. Can anyone help?

Thank you for that! I'm just wondering how I will be able to trace back the family in Poland - are there any records online I may be able to search through?

Europe / Jewish family in Poland/Russia?
« on: Tuesday 06 September 11 23:32 BST (UK)  »
I've been tracing my family tree and found a Jewish branch of it. My great great grandmother's brother married a Harriet Salkind who I've managed to trace back. Her paternal grandparents were Simon Salkind and Hannah Harris (1815 - 1869). Hannah who I believe came to England from Poland or Russia, lived in Norfolk, England once she moved here. I'm interested in finding out whether anyone else is related to her or can give me some information about her family in Europe? Or if not, a link to somewhere I can search for the info myself?

Thanks :)

You're making perfect sense! It definitely is the right one because I believe my grandad remembers Ernest and Arthur, but it definitely does seem like they weren't married.

As for Harriett, I did a quick look and she married in Aylsham late 1905 to a George William Sayer! Haven't got him listed in my tree yet but it looks like the connection is there, going to have a look now to find out :)

Wow, you've found out a lot more than me! I didn't think of the possibility of people coming from Europe to here.. I guess it sometimes needs fresh eyes for a new perspective!

I had a look at my notes, I only have a mother listed for Arthur, her name is Susanna Codling with her parents being Richard Codling/Susannah Skillings (assumming I'm correct!)

Thank you so much for doing this, it's a great help :)
