Cambridgeshire / John CHAMBERS in March Sussex

« on: Wednesday 04 October 06 22:12 BST (UK) »

I am trying to trace any relatives of a John Chambers who was born in Whittlesey c1858 and later moved to March. I know he worked on the railway for a short time and later became a self employed greengrocer.
I am looking for someone who may know about his brother James who was a pass guard on the railway.
I need someone who knows the family and can remember if James moved up north to Lincolnshire (or not as the case maybe)

I have exhausted most other avenues and am having trouble confirming that my Greatgrand father James comes from Whittlesey

A LONG SHOT I KNOW

Regards

Ian

I know this is not strictly a family tree question; does anyone have or know of where I could get a copy of the picture of the beached whale in Cleethorpes at the turn of the century. I have family members in the photograph apparently

Cambridgeshire / Railway lookups

« on: Wednesday 11 January 06 22:51 GMT (UK) »

I am still trying to find a link to confirm that James Chambers the Railway Pass Guard on 1901 census at Whittlesy is the same james who was a Railway porter that lived in Grimsby and Cleethorpes area. I now know from a photograph that he worked the MS and L railway line and had the number 101 on his lapel. Has anybody got any suggestions on how to research from here. I know he worked in the Grimsby area and in Manchester did he start his career in Whittlesey?

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Chambers from Whittlessey in 1891

« on: Tuesday 19 April 05 11:59 BST (UK) »

Is there anyone who could look up the 1891 census for James Chambers b.1864 married to Malinda (melinda) Martha nee Windley; they would have two children at this time: Maud and martha. I think James is the son of James and Martha Chambers of Whittlesey b.1828/29.

On the 1901 census I think James was visiting his parents, whilst Malinda was back at home in Manchester with her children; as the census is always around the same time could they have all been visiting this time for some family celebration?

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / 1891 look up

« on: Monday 18 April 05 22:30 BST (UK) »

Is there anyone who could look up the 1891 census for James CHAMBERS b: 1864 married to Malinda (or Melinda) Martha CHAMBERS b:1869 nee WINDLEY; They would have two children Maud b:1889 and Martha b:1885; I believe they were in New Holland (Glanford Brig parish) LINCOLNSHIRE at this moment in time.

I need to know specifically where James was born, unfortunately he was away from home when the 1901 census was done and although I have strong hunch he comes from Whittlesey I have yet to prove it.
