Gloucestershire / Burfoot family
« on: Monday 17 February 14 23:49 GMT (UK)  »
hi all, Im trying to trace any information re my gt gt grandparents Mary Burfoot (b abt 1838, in Stauntin) married John Sims ( b abt 1837 in Moreton Valance) One of their son's John Sims (b abt 1870) being my paternal gt grandfather.  I have no backgroud to Mary at all !!

I have exhausted my Ancestry resources as far as I can tell,  and am rapidly creating a new brick wall for myself. Fellow rootchatters have been very helpful in getting me to the point I'm at now with my SIMS research so can impose upon you all again with this one.

many thanks
Vicki

New Zealand Completed Requests / NILSON settled in PIoPio and /or Tokatoka

Josephine Marie NILSON  born in Wellington(1877) was my maternal Great grandmother, she married Robert McKenzie CLARK (1862 – 1907). I have been able to find little info on the NILSONS other than that Josephine's parents were Annie Maria JOHANNSON and John NILSON.  These names seem to be quite common , so am having difficulty ascertaining which ones were her parents.  I think Josephines siblings may have been Gustav, George Oscar and Annie NILSON.
Anyone know of this family?

New Zealand Completed Requests / looking for grandfather James SIMS completed
« on: Sunday 02 January 11 22:12 GMT (UK)  »
Would anyone have any information on James Sims. According to my fathers birth certificate James was born in Hardwick Gloucestershire 1895,  and was in the Royal Navy. James was my grandfather and married Isabella Emma Parmenter Jones. My father (*) was born in Wellington in 1923. Isabella had previously married to Alfred W Frogley. I know virtually nothing about my grandparents having never met them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have had no luck with Ancestry re James but have been able to research the Frogleys with some success.
