Norfolk / John Reeve of West Dereham Norfolk b. 26 Aug 1781
« on: Sunday 02 August 20 13:07 BST (UK)  »
I understand that this John Reeve is the father of David Reeve, born circa 1816/1817 with his mother as Mary Towler.  Married 12 Oct 1801. 
I'm looking for Johns father who could be Thomas Reeve of Foxley who married Elizabeth Smith at Litcham of 17 Dec 1763, or another John Reeve who married Elizabeth Hunter in Norwich on 8th Dec 1760.
I can't seem to be able to be sure of either.

The family seem to have lived around Whittington and Northwold for generations after David Reeve.

Too, when was Thomas Reeve born ?  If it was Thomas of Foxley, then it was sometime in 1736.  Alternatives are a Thomas of Norwich St Gregory b. 1732, Thomas of Hackford near Reepham b. 1738 or Thomas of Roydon, near Diss b. 1731.
Any help would be much appreciated.  (My email address is working now).

Regards, Grahame

Stirlingshire / Daniel Bell of Redgate, son of James & Jean McKenzie
« on: Sunday 20 March 11 09:21 GMT (UK)  »
If anyone is interested in Daniel's or his sibling's ancestors, I can provide quite a bit of information, having researched the wrong Daniel Bell.
My loss is your gain.  (Mine came from Kilmichael, Glassary, Argyll which seems to be a dead-end)

Argyllshire / Daniel Bell supposedly born 1821 Kilmichael, Glassary
« on: Sunday 20 March 11 09:16 GMT (UK)  »
I'm hoping someone may be able to help.  I've exhausted all the internet sources I can find in looking for my ancestor who at the 1851 census was a grocer in Ardrishaig, having travelled to Dundee to marry Elizabeth Shand, then returning to give birth to Helen, (age 3 at the census).
Unfortunately, either the births were not registered, or more likely, they have been lost.

I would dearly like to find his parents.  I have been given unconfirmed information that his parents were Archibald Bell & Ann McLachlan married 1788, but this is patently incorrect as they were never married (to each other) according to ScotlandsPeople.

Any ideas, please ?

Argyllshire / Address in Ardrishaig, 1851
« on: Friday 18 March 11 10:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all
I've traced my ancestor Daniel Bell to Ardrishaig, and in the 1851 census he is shown at "G.W.McDonald's (land?)"  He is a grocer and there with his wife, two girls and a servant.
Can anyone help me to identify where this McDonald's Land is, please ?

Thanking you

Norfolk / Downham in 1882 - Deaths of Reeve family
« on: Sunday 13 March 11 04:27 GMT (UK)  »
I'm hoping someone can help me.  Apparently the children David, George and William Reeve all died in June 1882 in Downham.  They would have been visiting as the family came from Whittington just north of Northwold.
The parents were David & Martha Reeve.
If anyone knows of anything which could have caused this, I'd be most grateful.  No, I don't have their death certificates which may have made it clear.

Thanking you
Grahame

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Ambrose Reeves, Pancras, London
« on: Wednesday 12 January 11 11:26 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
I'm looking for further information on Ambrose Reeves, married Annie Louisa Blakeman in 1900.  They had Hubert Ambrose Reeves (Reeve) in 1904.  I would like any of the parents history, birth records as I've looked in some of the obvious places and cannot  pinpoint these people at all.
Thanks

Kent Lookup Requests / Millhall (known as Millhale, Mill Hall)
« on: Wednesday 12 January 11 11:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
I'm looking for photographs of this hamlet just west of Aylesford where my ancestors, the Vanes lived as farm labourers about 1793.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, in any format.  Also any general history - not that I expect much here, it being such a small place.
Thanks
Grahame
