Hi, its been a very long time since l was on here but because of roots l found my ancestors in Italy and have connected with their decendents so here is another one l need your help on.

Recently l met up with a cousin that l have not seen in over 40 years and she said she would like to know exactly what happened to her birth mother so this is the story.

My aunt Dorothy May Holland married my uncle Henry George Travi in 1948 in Southend on Sea Essex, my cousin) was born 1957 and the story goes that a couple of years later my aunt had another baby and was ill (today would be post natal depression) sadley she was put into Runwell Mental Hospital and my uncle set up home with another lady until 1978 when they married and told my cousin her mother had committed suicide and was buried in Finchingfield Essex but we cannot find any death and medical records are destroyed after 20 years. Sadley my cousin had an unhappy childhood with her step mother and would like closure. Can anybody out there help me . We are waiting to be able to visit finchingfield to see the church there and hopefully see a record of her death.

Thankyou Sandra.

Hi everyone, just wondering if any body can find Henry Clark b 1841 Buckland Herts and his family in 1891 census.
l have all the other information about him but on 1911 census it says they had 8 children but only 4 survived and wondered if 1891 would have any other children on it .
the family l have are.
Henry b. 1841 Buckland Herts . Gardener
Mary Ann b. 1846 Cockfosters Barnet
Henry Arthur b. 1874 St Saviour Surrey
Frederick Clive b 1877 Islington
Emily b 1880
James b 1887
They seemed to stay around the Islington area

Thankyou
Sandra

Hi everyone, l started this branch of my tree a few years ago when information was not as good as it is to day so l thought l would try and fill in the gaps l had left but l am still left with the following dilemma,
John Trout b 1738 m 1763 Thomasin Coombes b 1738 had 6 children (that l can find)

1763 John  (burial record 1781 )
1772 James            "
1779 Hannah           "
All the above where on the same page in the Burial Book
1774 Roger Thomas  (my 4xGrandfather)
1777 Elizabeth
1784 Hannah Baptism in same book as above Burials but under Baptisms ( as l find this often occurs)

The others l have records for but Hannah just disappears .

l think Thomasin remarries a George Clogg 17.10.1791 but lcannot find a death for John (john Trout is a common name)

Have searched for Hannah as Clogg but nothing cannot find marriage or death.

These ancestors come from Devon , common places are Sowton, St George Clyst and Exeter.

Anny Help please

Sandra
