Ireland / Marriage of Margaret Ann Titterington and Henry Howard
« on: Wednesday 11 May 22 08:56 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me find the marriage details/certificate of
Margaret Ann Titterington and Henry Howard (professional Musician) please.

Margaret and Henry had 3 children Emily, Henry Edward, Frederick Joseph……all born in Glasgow Scotland. 

According to Emily’s birth certificate which I have from Scotland’s People, it states her parents were married 30 August 1890 Belfast.
I’m struggling to find the certificate!

I can see the family living in Scotland in the 1901 Census.

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Theodore Carter Brewer was born in Illinois 1922

He died in Cortland, Marathon 1976
Parents Helen Frances Carter (of Cortland) and  Wallace Melvin Brewer Snr (of Texas)
He boarded with his brother Wallace Jr in a Military school in either Chicago or California as a boy, then in school, Cortland.
Ted was a Technical Sargent USAAF in WW2 serving with 314th and 62nd TC
Sadly, his Military records were destroyed in the fire.
I do have some details of his Military time.
Married/Divorced Rosalie Whitney
He was involved in an almost fatal car accident sometime around 1957-1963 “SOMEWHERE”.
He was very badly injured.
His mother, with the help of The Red Cross, traced him to ‘a hospital ‘ and on discharge some months later, took him back to Cortland where he lived until he passed away.
I need help with 2 things:
Can anyone help me find the details of Ted’s accident?
How can I find his log books for his period of service (1942-1945)
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
With thanks Beryl

The Common Room / Which London Local Authority and The Church Army 1941
« on: Thursday 28 February 19 08:25 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

I’m helping a friend find her family ....
Where would the records of a baby born Sheffield Street Hospital London in 1941 then
taken into the care of the Local Authority straight from Birth be held?  I have the birth certificate.
Mother’s address Stepney.
She was in care 5 years until fostered.

The Church Army:
After being fostered for 10 years, the child was placed in the care of The Church Army London.
I contacted The Church Army via their website to ask where such records are held, was told they didn’t have records and to try elsewhere, I’m sure this can’t be right?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks, Dahab

Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / the FINDLATER family Aberdeen
« on: Wednesday 11 May 11 10:10 BST (UK)  »
Would anyone be able to do a lookup at Trinity Cemetery Errol Street Aberdeen please?
My grandparents John Findlater and Jane Shepherd Findlater (ms Watson), late of 396 King Street Aberdeen  are buried there along with one of their daughter's, Helen Adams Findlater who died at age 14yrs.
(John died July 3 1948, Jane (Jean) December 24 1950, Helen Sept 9 1896)

My Dad's siblings. Jane (Jean) Ethel, Dina, John all left Aberdeen and settled in USA, I have been searching for the family with the help of Roots and have found them all  :).  My 84year old cousin in USA told me that there was another sister who died, her name was LIZZIE who died age 4yrs of asthma.  I have searched Scotlands People etc but cannot find her birth nor death record.  She is not listed on the 1901 nor 1911 census, I'm struggling!

Since I too live overseas, I wondered if a kind soul might have a look to see if Lizzie is buried along with her parents and sister Helen.  Any help I can get would be appreciated.

With thanks, Beryl Guest (Findlater)
