Warwickshire / Charles Sansom (Vagrant) b.1881 Married Sarah Jobson.How to trace Birthplace.

« on: Sunday 13 October 13 15:36 BST (UK) »

Hi All

Can you help on this Thread??

What I would like to know is the following...

Where or how do I find out about my ancestor Charles Sansom b.1881? All I know is that he was a vagrant and is untraceable before he married Sarah Jobson in Birmingham. I have been told that he had 2 sisters Jane and Kate, who had a secondhand shop in Birmingham. I have tried to research him and have found several variations on his surname ie Sanson and Sansome but know that his proper name is Sansom. I am trying to find his parents and other siblings and have come to a full stop.

Hope someone can help.
Brian.

Warwickshire / Need help with filling in gaps in the Wrights Family Tree...

« on: Tuesday 06 August 13 00:16 BST (UK) »

Hi All...
Have been Researching the Wrights Family Tree for the last year and still have many unanswered questions and a lot of gaps in the Tree..
I have already asked if anyone has any Information on the FOUNDER of Wrights Ropes in 1770 and have come up with blanks.....All I get is Information about the Translantic Cable in 1865...
All I am asking is does anyone have anything else to add??? PLEASE...
Brian.
P.S. Now losing hope in finding the FOUNDER...But there may be someone out there that may point me in the right direction.

Dorset / Jessie Elizabeth Morgan. b abt 1899..2 Bastard Sons.How to find Father??????

« on: Thursday 04 April 13 01:36 BST (UK) »

I am trying to trace the Father of my Dad and my Uncle and I am not having any success...

All I have is my Dads and my Uncles Birth Certificates which show "Father" ....Blank....

Grandmas (Dads & Uncles Mom) name was Jessie Elizabeth Morgan. She was a Domestic Servant in Portland, Dorset in 1919 and is recorded as to be living at 9 Brymey Avenue, Portland.

I think she would have been born about 1899.

Know nothing more than her two Sons were sent to an Orphanage in Penarth, South Wales..

As the Father was marked as not known on the Birth Certificate, what can I do next???

in 1921 Jessie was residing at 1 Wyke Road (May not be correct as the writing on the Birth Certificate is not really legible) in Weymouth....She was then a Domestic Servant @ 84 Grove Fields, Portland...

Can anyone help?

Hi All.

Could anyone let me know where I could get Information on Inhabitants of Heneage Street in Birmingham in 1825/6

Was there an Electoral Roll in those times or shall I have to scroll through the Census of 1821 and 1831 for what I am looking for..

Heneage Street is in Duddeston, Aston, Birmingham.

Appreciate any help.
