Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Help required .... Gates

« on: Friday 02 September 11 11:15 BST (UK) »

Hi,

I have been tracing my tree for a while now. Basically I have found some information in regards to an ancestor but not sure it is right, I have found it through several members trees on ancestry, and just wanted to know what people think.

I have an ancestor called Peter Gates (born 1824) in Southampton, Hampshire. He was married to a lady called Rachel Lane.
I have found a census record that states him living with his mother Betty who was born in 1782, and it lists siblings at that time in the household as Anna (1821) and Sarah (1820).

Through Ancestry I have found people listing Peter's father as Joseph Gates (born 1777, Bodre, Hampshire). He married Elizabeth Rickman in 1802. the following children are listed for them:
elizabeth 1803
joseph 1804
sarah 1820
anna 1821
peter 1824

the only issue I have is that most people with this in their tree state that Elzabeth rickman died in 1804. I cannot find evidence of this, and I have a census record from much later saying that she is alove, also the childrens births would not work if this was true.

Any thoughts??? Hope all this makes sense!!!

Carlow / Info on Galbally

« on: Tuesday 31 May 11 16:02 BST (UK) »

Hi,
I have the following information on great great aunts and uncles but was wondering if anyone knew of or where i could find more information ....

Kathleen Galbally born 1901/02 in Carlow. Died in a fire at the age of approx 10.

John Galbally born 1906/07 in Carlow. Died in a motorcycle accided in his 30s on Meganey Bridge.

I have tried to look at the online paper archives but found nothing but would think that both may have been in some paper.

Carlow / How do I fill in the gaps?

« on: Tuesday 31 May 11 13:36 BST (UK) »

I have found most of the basic information but would like to find out more about my ancestors, obviously in England this is easily found through the census. Is there any way to find out more information easily, as unfortunately I dont live in Ireland. $:-\$

My Great Uncle has informed me that my Great Grandad - Thomas Galbally, served in the British Army.
He was born in Carlow, Ireland, and came to England in 1941/42 to work, he died in England in 1945 and was buried in birmingham.
My Great Nana recieved a British War Pension.

Other than this I have no further info, how could I find out more?

Carlow / Moore

« on: Tuesday 26 April 11 15:14 BST (UK) »

My great uncle has told me that my great great uncle died in a car crash between 1950-51.
Apparently 8 others died, and would have been in the local papers and news.

Just wondered if anyone had any further info on this?

Carlow / Moore Family

« on: Tuesday 26 April 11 15:11 BST (UK) »

Hi,
I am trying to trace Moore family from Carlow. I am in the UK so it makes it difficult to trace and also fill in general info. I have the following so far from the help of the censuses .....

(G Grandmother) Mary Josephine Moore born in 1914. She married Thomas Galbally in 1934 in Carlow.

Her mother was Winifred (Winnie) Murray, and her father was William Moore - he was RC and born in Carlow and his occupation in the 1911 census is listed as Labourer.

Any help would be appreciated ...

Hi,

I am tracing my family tree. My nana was from Ireland, I have managed to find out her mother and father and also their parents, but that is as far as I have got.

« on: Thursday 24 February 11 15:34 GMT (UK) »

I just wondered if anyone knew how I could or if it is possible to access the electoral roll for the beginning of the 1900s.
Basically I am trying to trace my great great grandmother who gave her address as 62 Dawlish Road Birmingham when she gave birth to my great grandad in London, I just wanted to find out whether and for how long she lived at this address.
If anyone could help this would be greatly appreciated.
