Yorkshire (West Riding) / Margaret Williams/Harrigan/Nichols
« on: Thursday 21 September 23 03:50 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the family tree of my Granddaughter's partner and am looking for Margaret Williams. She was born 4 Feb 1919 Beneaster, Doncaster, illegitimate daughter of Marjorie Williams. Marjorie married Robert Harrigan, and Margaret took his surname. Margaret then married James Nichols in Dec 1939, and they had twin daughters in 1943. James emigrated to New Zealand in 1952 with a new wife, and his twin daughters. Margaret appears on the 1939 Census Register as Harrigan, and her entry is annotated "Nichols" and "Tullock", with the names Linda Margaret added later in green ink. I found a marriage between Linda M Nichols and Kenneth Tullock in 1945 but have no idea if this is Margaret.  I'm stumped, can anyone throw some light on what happened to Margaret after 1943?

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Baptisms Brandon Suffolk.
« on: Sunday 15 December 19 21:44 GMT (UK)  »
Pleases can someone help me to find the baptism records for G.Grandfather's children? He was Frederick Barton, who married Frances Powl Dec 1845 in Eriswell, Suffolk. They were both illiterate so were unaware that the Paris priest recorded their surname as BARTLE. Their 1st 2 children Emily b 1846 and Charlotte b 1848 were christened BARTON at St. Peter's Brandon, (I have those records). The 1851 census records them as BARTLE with another child Elizabeth b 1850 in Brandon. The 1861 Census has them as BARTON with 3 more children, Mary Ann b 1853, William b 1857, both born in Brandon, and Martha Ann b 1859 in Barton Mills. There may have been more children who did not survive, but I don't know.
I would greatly appreciate any help. Many thanks.

South Africa / WALLIS Rowland Henry b 1854, Grahamstown.
« on: Tuesday 17 May 16 00:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
 
Does anyone know what happened to Rowland Henry Wallis, and his wife Jemima Heather Kirkpatrick?  I have traced them to the 1890s, but can't find any further information.  I know what happened to 4 of their 6 children, but I can only get to 1938 with their son Clement b 1885, and 1923 with their daughter Clarice Enid b 1889. Jemima was our G.Aunt, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Canada / Kate Lydia Wakeley
« on: Monday 03 June 13 21:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
My G.Aunt Kate Lydia Wakeley b 1885 London, emigrated to St John, New Brunswick, in 1924 together with her husband Richard Wood and their children. Her parents Sarah Rose and Charles McCarthy married in 1885.  Can anyone throw any light on why her parents used the surname Wakeley/Wakley just after their marriage, registered 2 children with that name, and then reverted back to McCarthy by  the 1891 England Census?

Canada Lookup Request / Elizabeth Thompson b abt 1801
« on: Monday 15 October 12 08:58 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for information about the birth of Elizabeth Thompson.  I think she was born about 1801 on St Helens Island, Quebec, and married John Kirkpatrick at the Anglican Garrison in Montreal in May 1823. I have traced them back to Scotland, but have been unable to find her early life.  I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Dumfriesshire / John Kirkpatrick b 1830 Grouville, Jersey
« on: Sunday 01 July 12 04:55 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know what happened to John Kirkpatrick b abt 1830 Grouville, Jersey?  He was the son of John and Elizabeth Kirkpatrick from Applegarth.  John snr served in 4th Royal Artillery (which is why John jnr was born in Jersey), and was discharged because of ill health in 1835, when he returned to Scotland and lived in Chapelknow, Halfmorton together with his wife and 3 sons George, John and James.  James became a miner and lived in Whitehaven Cumberland, and George emigrated to South Africa.  John appears in the 1851 Scottish Census still living with his parents in Middlebie, and is a teacher, but after that he completely disappears. If anyone has any info I would be very grateful.

Limerick / Charles William MCCARTHY alias WAKELY
« on: Monday 21 November 11 04:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I am trying to find the family of Charles William McCarthy, b abt 1853, Limerick, but I have no idea what part.   He appeared in  Bermondsey, London in the 1880s, where he married Sarah  Perkins, in Jan 1885.  Somewhere between his marriage to Sarah and the birth of their 1st child in Jul 1885 they assumed the name Wakely, 2 subsequent children were also registered as Wakley.  By the 1891 Census in Bermondsey the whole family are McCarthy again.  Does anyone know anything about Charles, because no-one in our remaining family has any idea.
