Family History Beginners Board / Wandsworth Prison inmate 1901
« on: Saturday 10 February 18 14:41 GMT (UK)  »
Please can you help find my grandfather? Where can I search for more information on his prison records?

He was George Samuel DAVIES born 22 OCT 1870 Wandsworth, London, England
He was said to be in prision due to breaking "the breach of promise" - calling off an engagement. This seems to be him on the 1901 census:

George Davies 33
abt 1868
Prisoner
Birth Place: Walworth, Surrey, London
His Majestys Prison Wandsworth
Piece: 488 45 23 1

Any help much appreciated, thank you!

Please can you help colour this 1914 photo of my step-grandfather in the East Yorkshire regiment?  He was a P.O.W. in France, which probably saved his life.  Many thanks!

Wales / Tracing family tree of W.H. Davies (poet)
« on: Tuesday 31 May 11 15:50 BST (UK)  »
I'm following an old family story which may or may not be true: that we are related to W.H. Davies (poet).  He came to tea with my great-grandmother in London.

I'm trying to find out who his parents were?
If he had any brothers and sisters?
If he had any children?
(Info maybe on a census?)

He was born William Henry Davies or W. H. Davies 3 July 1871 6, Portland Street in the Pillgwenlly district of Newport, Monmouthshire the son of an iron moulder.

He is best known for "The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp" and died 26 September 1940.

Thanks for your help!

Hi

There is a marriage in 1903-Barnsley for George Stenton and one of the others on the same page is an Emma Scales.

Jane

Thank you Jane,  I didn't know how to do the cross referencing to find the correct marriage.  I'll go ahead and order this certificate as it sounds possible.

I found this on findmypast  passengers leaving UK

Thanks Isobelruss, I have ordered a copy of the transcript and printed it out for reference.  That looks like a useful website.

Dartmoor, have you checked on the 1911 Census?

Dee


Thanks Dee, I've just been looking at the 1911 census and think I may have found him:

George STENTON head 36 married (7 years) Miner Coal Hewer Barnsley Yorkshire
Emma STENTON wife 35 married
Edith STENTON 8
Else STENTON 4
Elizabeth Ann STENTON 1

If this is him, it appears that he was in the area in 1911 and married about 1904.

It is still a puzzle as to where he was around 1900.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Hannah
