Hi all - heres to hoping I have placed this query in the correct section! (I am not from Uk so Im unfamiliar with counties etc but Im learnin!)

My query is for any information on William Henry Richard Lovett and his wife May Madeline Lovett nee McQueen. I have a birth certificate for their son Henry George Lovett born 1911 which states William was an Omnibus Driver and they  resided at 44 Henley St Battersea. I would like to find out if I could anything on William and May if they had any other children (believe there was an Edward Charles son) and William and Mays siblings and parents if the information is available.

Thanking you all in advance

Hi, I am researching my Lindsay ancestors. I would love to make contact with anyone else researching the same line or if anyone can help with lookups to verify my information.

George Lindsay born 1766 married Jennie Magee. Second wife Euphemia Gregg. Several children were born from both marriages. I am a descendant from George and Jennie Lindsays son Stuart Lindsay born 8 March 1819. Stuart came to Australia around 1848 onboard the Forfarshire. He married Charlotte Brock and had several children here in South Australia.

George Lindsay (1766) parents were William Lindsay and Margaret Elizabeth Ewing.

If anyone is able to assist with dates of births deaths or marriages or has a connection to this Lindsay line please dont hesitate to contact me as I have much information to share.

Thankyou

Hi, I am wondering if someone is able to help me with a lookup on a few things please:

Charles Augustus Smith born 26 June 1882, Gorleston
Parents Adelaide Louisa Smith (nee Bridge)born 16 March 1864 in Gorleston and father Henry Charles Smith born approx 1856-62. They married July 8 1880. Not sure where Henry was born or where they married though.

Henry Charles Smith was a fisherman who drowned at sea. He was on board the boat named "Wildfire". Apparently there was a very bad storm. He died I believe March 6 1883.

I am wondering if anyone is able to verify or even offer some more information on this line for me.

Adelaide Louisa Bridge did remarry a Wharton Frederick Cutts, who was on board the same boat when Henry Smith drowned.

Any help would be so greatful

Hello from Down Under! I am new here this is my first post. I have been researching my ancestors for over 5 years now. I only found out about this site this morning. Looks great!

I have alot of ancestors from the UK and surrounds. The one line Ive had no luck with is from Gloucestershire.

I am researching my grandfather Reginald Merchant (or Marchant) and his father Walter Charles Merchant) or Marchant).
I have found my grandather Reginalds Australian Army Records on the National Archives site and he has listed his birth details as St Marks Parish, Gloster, England.

Working his date of birth out has been tricky as he lied so many times. Its somewhere between February 1 1886 and February 1 1890. Reginald listed on his marriage certificate in 1941 as his fathers name being Walter Charles Merchant. On the same certificate Reginalds last name is Merchant and Marchant. In his later years he lived as a Marchant, myself being one.

As a child he told my mother a story how he 'bumped his age up' to get into the army. He apparently sailed on a ship named Glenavon or Glenalvon - to Australia. It was the only all British manned ship to sail into those waters around 1911 so the story goes!. He then absonded and stayed in Australia. To this day I have no proof of his story - I have found the ships but not the evidence that it docked where he said it did.

If anyone is able to assist me in either lookups or any good websites to check out, please feel free to do so!

Thankyou in advance,

Kylee
