Travelling People / Re: Christina IRELAND & Alfred PRATLEY and the SCARROTT family
« on: Monday 03 March 08 19:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Colleena
Thanks for your reply, All information gratefully received!!I did wonder if he had emigrated.

Is there anyway I  can find anymore information on the
Ed Pratley who was on the Suevic?
Would his place of birth be noted anywhere, or if he was alone or with someone else?

Would there be any aussie records of him and if so how do I set  about accessing them?

Sorry if this posting is not now on the right board I will also post on it on the Emigrants board.

Many thanks for your help

Travelling People / Christina IRELAND & Alfred PRATLEY and the SCARROTT family
« on: Monday 03 March 08 08:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I am trying to discover the fate of a family of 3, who may have had links to travelling and showground families
1 Alfred Pratley b 1872 (parents Margaret Arnold or Harnell from Pontesbury and Richard Pratley from Leafield )
2 Christina Ireland (b 1868 Ashton Under Lyne) married Alfred Pratley in1896 in Bedwelty Monmouthshire
3 Edwin Pratley b1893 in Brynmard Monmouthshire

Alfred was a hawker of earthenware


There are links to the Scarrott family -Alfred's grandparents were Keziah Scarrott & Richard Pratlley and his great aunt Sarah Pratley married John Scarrott.
I think the Scarrotts had a travelling boxing booth . Does anyone know if albert/Christina/\Edwin traveled with this 

Alfred died in 1948 in Newport, Christina in Worcester in 1914.

But what happened to Edwin ????

My links with the family are via my ggrandmother Sarah Jane Parkes who lived with & had 4 children out of wedlock by Alfred's father

Hi
Ive heard such wonderful things about people helping to restore photos here. Please could someone  see if grannie and her family can be unwrinkled?
I'd be so gratefull if anyone can improve this photo as I have so few of the family. I  think it was taken around 1910-12
Many thanks.Warwickshirelass

Hi to everyone who has restored grannie to her best. Thank you so much to Lones, Mudge, Irene and RecycledHippy. Im delighted with all your results. The little girl on the right is my aunty Ivy who sadly died aged 21. This is 1 of only 3 photos of her that exist so this picture is especially precious to me.

Thanks once again Frances

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Sir George Faudel-Phillips - Lord Mayor of London 1896
« on: Tuesday 18 December 07 07:33 GMT (UK)  »
My grandma always claimed to be related to the Phillips Lord Mayors of London -though how I don't know. She was Lavinia Phillips born Birmingham 1883.

Her father was  according to her birth certificate Samuel Thomas Phillips (designer) born London Tottenham about 1853 although I  cant find his birth registered, nor any trace of him (other than marriage cert for Birmingham 1872 to Sarah Ann Whittington) until 1891 census when he is a widower in Birmingham with daughters Charlotte, Elizabeth, Florence, Lavinia, Alice, Lilian and Leah

His marriage certificate gives his father's  name as also being Samuel Thomas Phillips, occupation 'gentleman' - of him too  I can find no trace.

With Whittington ancestors I think she was confused with Dick Whittingtonand his cat more like!!
I can't find a Jewish connection either

Do any of these names mean anything to you?  Thanks Frances

The Lighter Side / Re: What was the saddest death in your Tree ?
« on: Monday 30 July 07 07:56 BST (UK)  »
The saddest death in my tree has to be Annie Johnson (nee Anfield) my GG Grandmother
Shortly before Christmas in1882, pregnant with her 4th child, and having just buried her 3 year old son Frank (who died from horrific burns sustained when he fell into a vat of boiling water left unattended in the family bakery) she fell down the stairs, suffered a miscarriage and bled to death. She was just 30.
She left 2 small daughters (including my Greatgrandma) who were brought up by various aunts. My Greatgrandma said she never forgot that Christmas.

How sad is that?
