Family History Beginners Board / Adoption Help
« on: Thursday 11 April 19 22:15 BST (UK)  »
Good Evening

I'll keep it simple, Is there anyway that I can trace birth parents online.
I have all the info of foster parents and child's date of birth but have no names prior to adoption of birth mother or child. Hope this makes sense.

Also Im looking for School photos of Calveley School in Tarporley Cheshire,

and also Acton, Primary School on Chester Road near Nantwich..

Family History Beginners Board / George Jones.... help!
« on: Wednesday 01 September 10 23:59 BST (UK)  »
Hiya... I have run into a brick wall now and would love some help if anybody has got a bit of spare time!

I am having trouble finding the correct year and Location of death for my Great Grandad George Henry Jones...

I went a grave today at Acton Church, Cheshire, His name is on the Grave side with his wife's and daughters but he wasnt buried there and there was no cremation, there is also no record of him passing away in Cheshire..
The grave says 11th October 1914

He was born about 1871... I don't know where???

He married an Elizabeth Williams 16th May 1894 at St Martins Shropshire.... they had 11 Known children

His fathers name is Fredrick Jones

George and his Wife Elizabeth lived and worked on a Canal boat called Gladys between 1901 and 1911 on the Shropshire canal...

George's grave says 11th October 1914

I am desperate to find George's Birth location? and George's Death year and location??

also are there any resources for Shropshire Canal's?? History, photos etc


Thanks
