Australia / Samuel Jenkins Rees - Help required from marriage index

« on: Friday 04 May 18 15:40 BST (UK) »

Hi, as part of my research I have a missing relative Samuel Jenkins Rees who was born in Lampeter Wales on 18th July 1879. He is my great grandfather and disappeared from the family following the birth of my grandmother in 1901.

I have received a potential hint with a similar name in the Australian Marriage Index of a Samuel Jenkins Rees marring a Mary Mitchell but I don't have access to these records and wondered if someone would be kind enough to get me further details of this marriage to determine whether it is the same person.

Any help or information would be appreciated

Cornwall / Edward Charles Benney

« on: Thursday 30 November 17 14:05 GMT (UK) »

I am trying to find out more about Edward Charles Benney d.o.b 21/9/1907 born in Illogan Cornwall.

I have found him on the 1911 census as an inmate age 3 at Illogan workhouse.

I have also found records at the National Archives for his time in the Royal Navy Reserves Service

I haven't been able to find a birth record for him any where.

I believe he married Florence Hutchens in 1929 and died in 1977 in St Ives.

I have located him on the 1939 register living in St Ives with his family

I would like to identify his mother and father if possible but have exhausted all the avenues open to me at the moment.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated

« on: Thursday 05 January 12 14:23 GMT (UK) »

I am trying to locate a family on the 1881 census.

I have found them on 1871(RG10; Piece: 5328; Folio: 18; Page: 29) and 1891(RG12; Piece: 4359; Folio 51; Page 16) census but cant find them on the 1881.

Family details

Ann Davies b 1853 Rhymney Monmouthshire
Elizabeth Davies b 1862 Rhymney Monmouthshire
Osman Davies b 1865 Rhymney Monmouthshire
Keziah Davies b 1869 Rhymney Monmouthshire
Thomas b 1872 Rhymney Monmouthshire
Jasper b 1875 Rhymney Monmouthshire

The father David Davies b 1833 Sirhowy Monmouthshire has been located as having died in Jan 1881 so will not show on the 1881 census.

On 1871 and 1891 family are living in Rhymney Monmouthshire

Any help in locating this family on the 1881 census would be greatly appreciated.

Glamorganshire / Early Demas's

« on: Wednesday 28 December 11 17:39 GMT (UK) »

Hopefully someone will be able to assist in locating the Demas family on early censuses.

I have located Thomas Demas b 1810 Llangadog Carmarthenshire and his wife Jane b 1804 Llangadog along with daughter Mary b 1838 and son William Thomas b 1841 on the 1861, 1871, 1881 censuses but cannot find them on either the 1841 or 1851 censuses.

Mary and William are recorded later as being born in Merthyr Tydfil so i have searched this location to no avail.

Any help or suggestions on a way forward would be gratefully received.

Seasons Greetings

Breconshire / Anthony - Assistance requested

« on: Wednesday 03 August 11 14:45 BST (UK) »

I have been researching the Anthony family who i believe originated from Vaynor.

George Anthony born c1805 in Vaynor married Elizabeth Morgans born c1808 Narbeth Pembrokeshire.

I believe George died in around 1835 and he and Elizabeth were married in c1825.

They had 4 children John b 1826, James b 1828, Jane b 1830 and Rachael b 1833.

I have been able to find information on James who is my direct ancestor but have drawn a blank on everyone else.

Any information that could be provided would be most appreciated.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Lost Sanderson

« on: Friday 31 December 10 10:50 GMT (UK) »

I am looking for some inspiration regarding a little known about relative.

Rose (possibly Rosina or Rosine) Sanderson born c1883 was married to Thomas Harding in Hackney on 22 Jan 1905.

I have found this marriage and established that Rose's father was Thomas (deceased)

I have tried to find out more about Rose but can't find her in the 1901 census or the 1891 census.

I have also searched for Thomas's death and on all census's back to 1871.

The problem is I do not know where Thomas and Rose originated from but only know that Rose was in the London (Livermere Road, Hackney) at the time of her marriage.

I have even tried to find the witness's at the wedding (Mr & Mrs Wall) in a vain hope that they would have been neighbours or family friends to no avail.

Any help or suggestions would be appriciated

Regards

Somerset / Info from Clutton

« on: Saturday 13 November 10 21:00 GMT (UK) »

I am currently researching relatives whom i believe originated fro Clutton.

I believe that a marriage took place in 1824 between Martha Rogers and Reuben Gardner. Any other information regarding either of these individuals would be appreciated.

In addition I believe their children John (1826), Sarah (1828) Mary Ann (1832) and Hannah (1835) were all born in Clutton.

Any information surrounding any of this family from Parish records would be of great help

Many Thanks
