England / Carter watrigant Family
« on: Monday 01 March 21 02:18 GMT (UK)  »
I'm a bit curious about my Grandfathers uncle and his family.
Henry Sidney Carter died in the war 1917 fighting for New Zealand forces.( his brother lived here,Henry was living here doing farm work)  He embarked from Wellington NZ to Egypt May 1916.
In 1911 He was with his family in London in the census Wife Jeanne Catherine A Watrigant (possibly a married name as has older daughter of that name who was french born)
In  1917 he was in NZ and his family in Lowther rd, Bournemouth. Or Onslow Gardens, Wallington, Surrey. ( Both adresses on Next of kin records of army
Would anyone have ideas where to find more out? I imagine they separated, But ive been unable to find much on the family after this

Essex / Cotten Death essex Geography
« on: Sunday 20 January 19 23:53 GMT (UK)  »
I'm having trouble with the geography and hoped someone could help.

Mary Cotton is in West ham Essex in 1841 census, I'm looking for Death June 41- early 46 to maybe find out her birth name and Free BDM has a Rochford death in that name , Is that a close location to West ham?

I also have a Devon possibility
Sept quarter 1846 a baby is born to another wife, In Devonshire,  the family seems to be from this devon area orginally. There is a Mary cotton there: Is St Thomas Devon near Dawlish or Teignmouth?

With a common name I dont want to purchase too many pdf's from GRO.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Friday Family COMPLETED
« on: Tuesday 14 May 13 01:57 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any information on this family- They raised our grandfather Lionel from about 1919.
All I know is they were originally Polish, Catholic. Possibly near Stratford, (That is the last place I knew the kids were with the birth mother)
John and Mischeka (spelling wrong maybe), Son also John, Probably born around 1912 ish
They would have had a different surname as we were told they changed it to be more anglicised , and chose Friday as it was a Friday.
They took on a boy to help on the farm, similar age to their son John

« on: Friday 20 July 12 01:51 BST (UK)  »
How would I find info on Henry Carter- Hatter and gentlemans outfitter, Buckingham palace rd, Kensington.

My Great grandfather was born in Family apartments above his fathers Business, Victoria station end of Buckingham palace road,1871.( Now a trading bank (old yellowed paper))
I think he was already well established in Business in 1868 the time of his marriage

I haven't found anything in a basic internet search so any idea's on where to look?
Any idea what the area would have been called in that time. I tried Middlesex directory?

Thanks
Sally
