World War Two / Royal Air force Enlistment - Thomas Isfryn Jones
« on: Saturday 26 August 23 08:20 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find some basic information about the enlistment and subsequent RAF service of Thomas Isfryn Jones.   He was born 23 August 1907 in Talybont, Cardiganshire.  Married Daisy Jenkins in 1937 and lived in Aberystwyth.   Being over 30 at the outset of the war, he was probably called up later in the war and joined the RAF possibly in Penarth.   I believe most of his service was undertaken on bomber bases processing post bombing raid photographs etc.
Any information greatly appreciated

World War One / Herbert John kent
« on: Tuesday 21 February 23 16:16 GMT (UK)  »
Appreciate any information, (records, medal index cards etc) on the wartime service of Herbert John Kent, Born Selworthy, Somerset in 1894.   In 1896 the family were living in London.
In 1915 Herbert John Kent served with 2/3rd, 3/3rd Bn (Royal Fusiliers) London Regiment and in 1919 he was with 1st, 3rd Reserve Bn, London Regiment.   I presume his rank was Private.
Thanks in advance

Cardiganshire / Jones Family 1916 to 1940 - Aberystwyth
« on: Sunday 30 October 22 09:56 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for any information on a Jones family between 1916 and 1940.   The head of the family would have been Elizabeth Jane Jones (1877 Trefeurig) widow of Richard Jones killed 1916 at Mametz.
Children with one exception all born in Talybont.   David William (1900), Richard Trefor (1902), Ceinwen (1905), Thomas Isfryn (1907), John Alwyn (1910) and Elizabeth Ann (1912 Aberystwyth).
At the time of her death, the mother, Elizabeth Jane Jones, was living at 41 Greenfield Street, Aberystwyth and is buried in Aberystwyth Cemetery.
Any further information greatly appreciated.

Essex / Frederica Hyam - Colchester
« on: Wednesday 09 March 22 13:18 GMT (UK)  »
I'm hoping to obtain information on the origins of Frederica Hyam.   The 1861 Census gives her date and place of birth around 1806 in Colchester.   In 1861 she was living at Queens Road West, Chelsea, Middlesex, with her husband, John Eborall (born about 1807 in Warwick) and family.
They had 7 Children born between 1832 and 1848 in Chelsea so they probably married prior to the earlier date.
John and Frederica were both buried in Brompton Cemetery.
I have no further information on Frederica Hyam's origins and any help greatly appreciated.

United States of America / Peleg Carr, Rhode Island
« on: Monday 28 February 22 15:07 GMT (UK)  »
There appears to be some discrepancies about the marriages and family of Peleg Carr, born 1689, or 1690, and died 1736 in Newport, Rhode Island.   As far as I can make out he married Anne Crawford in 1711 and they had at least 8 children.   Anne died in 1729 and Peleg then married Elizabeth Aylesworth, their first child, Robert, was born in 1731.   There appear to be no records of either Elizabeth's birth, death or marriage.
I am currently trying to trace the descendants of Deborah Carr (1737 to 1819) the daughter of Peleg and Elizabeth.   Any help confirming dates etc greatly appreciated.

World War One / Francis Woods - Medal Card
« on: Tuesday 08 February 22 15:54 GMT (UK)  »
I would be grateful if some kind person with access to Medal Card information could look up any record for Francis Henry Ireson Woods, born 1892 in Hammersmith.   His parents were Francis Henry Ireson Woods and Alice Louisa Woods (née Wimpey).   I believe he served in the British Army in WW1.

US Lookup Requests / Eborall Family - Immigrated to USA around 1905
« on: Sunday 02 January 22 12:05 GMT (UK)  »
Happy New Year
I am trying to trace the immigration details of the Eborall family who left UK, probably London, about 1904-05.   The father was John Eborall who apparently drowned at sea en route.   He was survived by his wife, Isabell Charlotte Eborall (née Wimpey) and 12 children.   The family eventually settled in and around Portland, Oregon.
Any information on date and port of arrival in USA welcomed.
Thanks, Dave

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Rawlings Marriage Cold Ashton - Complete
« on: Monday 13 December 21 10:13 GMT (UK)  »
Request lookup of possible marriage in Cold Ashton.   I wish to confirm a marriage on 16 April 1829 which may have taken place in Cold Ashton, between Jonas Rawlings of Cold Ashton and Hannah who may have been from Dyrham.   I am particularly interested in confirming this marriage and finding out Hannah's surname.   
Thanks, Dave
