Family History Beginners Board / Mothers Name
« on: Tuesday 21 February 23 18:18 GMT (UK)  »
Good Evening one and all,

Hope you can help once again.
I am researching a Charles Chalke b1768 in Bower Chalke Wiltshire.
His father is William Chalke.
Then I have hit a wall.
On Genealogical sites,they only list a Christian name for the mother.
There are 2 William Chalke’s listed.
One married Sarah Downes and one married Sarah Joliffe.
Hopefully somebody can help me decipher my issue.
Many thanks as always

Family History Beginners Board / Unknown Father
« on: Saturday 19 November 22 15:33 GMT (UK)  »
Good day one and all.

I have a Louisa Draper in my tree born 1858 in Radford Nottingham.
On the birth certificate her mothers maiden name is listed as Draper.
The father name is a blank.
I can understand that the father is unknown,but why the mother didn’t use her maiden name,or did she.
Many thanks in anticipation

Hi,
I wonder if you can help.
I have a Mrs Beaton cookbook.
Inside the cover is handwritten Lily Beale,32,Onslow Gardens London W8.
Lily is my wife’s great aunt.
I am assuming she was a domestic at that address.
Does anybody have access to records for that house please.
Not sure of date,but probably 1910-30
Thank you for your help

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Holborn birth records
« on: Tuesday 09 February 21 16:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hello and thank you in advance.
I’m trying to find birth records for Henry Watmore

My great grandfather was born in Holborn in 1822.
He married Elizabeth Hunter in 1845 and moved to Chelmsford.
In 1880 the family moved to Winchester Hampshire.
He died in 1888

I am trying to find a birth date and parentage.
I am confused with a record showing a Henry Watmore but moving to Basingstoke and different children names.
Sorry if this rather a long story
Hope you can help.

Kind Regards

Hi,

Can you help please.

Maud Elizabeth Hewitson was born in Hanwell London 1889
She married Everard Arthur Fossey in 1909.
The trail goes cold.
It appears Mr Fossey married Grace Hindson in 1919.
Did she divorce or die young.
Your help would be appreciated.
