Somerset Lookup Requests / George Stanley Whiting - Bristol & Weston super Mare
« on: Friday 13 January 17 16:22 GMT (UK)  »
Attempting to trace descendants of a Merseyside family, one of whom George Stanley Whiting, born 1890/91 in West Derby, was thought to be living in the Bristol locality temp. WW II, possibly with Groom or Sherlock relatives, and who died at Weston c. 1960.  Nothing is known of George other than those suppositions.  Any snippet about him would be most welcome from Directories or any other source that may be known about to local researchers or locally available.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Baptisms Ealing
« on: Tuesday 06 January 15 11:13 GMT (UK)  »
Have been attempting to locate baptism/parental details of William Henry Whiting whose birth was said to be in Ealing c.1804 when his father was serving in the army as a recruiting officer there, for sometime without success.  The family name was sometimes recorded as Whitting. Presumably a church baptism occurred shortly after birth in that locality or could it have been by army chaplain??

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Colonial children educated in ?London
« on: Saturday 06 September 14 19:38 BST (UK)  »
Five daughters, all born in Ceylon to Ceylon Civil Servant & his wife, appear to have been sent back to the U.K. where their Grandmother lived [in London] to be educated.  They were Lucy Ann Whiting b.1836; Elizabeth Harriet W b. 1833; Emily W b. 1839; Elizabeth Caroline W b. 1845 and Louisa Maria W. b. 1848.  Are there any known school records of private boarding schools of this period in London which might show to which school they were sent??

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / St Thomas, Ryde marriages 1863
« on: Saturday 30 November 13 14:36 GMT (UK)  »
Have been unable to locate marriage record between Richard Tassell Anthony Grant & Lucy Ann Whiting, in Ryde in1863.  Her sister Emily married Lt Col Ibbetson in St Thomas's on 15 December 1864 but Lucy's marriage does not appear in FreeBMD database so may not have been centrally registered.  Does anyone have plans to search this register in future who might be able to assist an overlander in bridging the gap??

Addendum:  In view of below - Lucy may have married in France rather than in Ryde - Her father appears to have been living the for the part of each year, splitting his time between Ryde & London.

Seeking family details and address where living of Arabella Stockenstrom [b. Ireland 1809] & daughter Victoria [born S Africa].  Availavle census index has them in Mddx in 1841 but under the wrongly transcribed name of Stocksinkom.  A wildcard search under Arab** Stoc** may do it.
Thanks,
