The Common Room / Ethel Blanche LAMPLUGH or LAMPLOUGH
« on: Tuesday 26 April 22 10:10 BST (UK)  »
Hello, Is this lady known to you or in your tree?
At a local family history helpdesk a gentleman is trying to find any relative of the above lady who was born 1871 and died in Water Orton in 1967.  She spent most of her life in London/south-east, she was unmarried.  At some point after 1939 she moved to Water Orton in Warwickshire and lived with seemingly unrelated people.  Her probate was to a retired bank manager, Robert Geo Kimberley BAKER and to Helen Edith EDWARDS (whom she had lived with at Water Orton).
Any links or leads would be appreciated.  The enquirer has useful information for her relatives.

Warwickshire / 1920 Map of Maxstoke Area - Stoneleigh Estates
« on: Monday 01 February 21 13:48 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone find a copy of "Map number 5" - Maxstoke area - which was part of the 1920 auction sale of properties that belonged to the Stoneleigh Estate?  Nuneaton & North Warwickshire FHS has been offered a copy of the full catalogue to reproduce it, but just one map is missing.  It does not appear to be in any local archive, either (the catalogue is, but not the full set of maps).

When such is allowed, we could arrange for proper copying of the map.  All leads gratefully received.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / St Leonard's, Sefton/Bootle: TURNER Harold marriage 1935
« on: Monday 15 May 17 21:52 BST (UK)  »
Is there anyone able to do a look up, please?  I do a family history help desk as volunteer in local Warwickshire library. 

Elderly lady came today for help - she is carer for husband with dementia plus doesn't do computers so I said I would do what I could from her few details (parents split up when she was young, so she knows little).

From what she knows I have located a possible marriage at St Leonard's - this is shown as Sefton on UKBMD, some sites show St Leonard's as being Bootle - GRO district is West Derby.

June quarter, 1935: Harold TURNER to Catherine Agnes LYNCH.

I have found a couple on the 1939 register who seem to fit!  There are both outside the 100-year closure!

Any help would be **greatly** appreciated.

In hope...

Lancashire / Ethel WATERWORTH born1903
« on: Sunday 13 March 16 09:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all

I am still on the trail of Ethel.  The only paperwork we have about her is the birth of her son and her death, on same day in July 1942.  At that time she was in a relationship with Murdo McLEOD who registered their child as if they were married.  He gave Ethel's maiden name as WATERWORTH and that she was 39 on her death certificate.  She died in Warwickshire as McLEOD.  The child lived and was adopted.

I have trawled the birth records and the 1939 Register.  This leads me to believe Ethel was previously married before her liaison with Murdo.  Can anyone tell me if Ethel-partner-of-Murdo is the daughter of Thomas & Caroline WATERWORTH and/or wife of Clifford SELLERS?

I am inclined to think Ethel may have been from Manchester/Lancashire as Murdo was temporarily in Manchester with Pioneer Corps before being moved to Warwickshire.  WATERWORTH is not a surname local to Warwickshire.

Any leads would be very, very much appreciated.

The Common Room / Ethel WATERWORTH bc 1903 - have you lost her?
« on: Wednesday 20 January 16 20:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hello List

Ethel WATERWORTH was partner of Murdo Campbell MCLEOD [he is sorted - thanks to Isobel and Donald!].  She dies in Warwickshire at 4 July 1942 in childbirth at 25 High Street, Coleshill.  She was buried on 8 July 1942 in the municipal cemetery at Coleshill - a town just outside Birmingham.

She died as McLEOD but was not married to Murdo: he was prosecuted for making a false statement on the registration.  There was a hint of a story of Ethel being a nurse - which may be what took her to Coleshill (the Warwickshire one) during WW2.  It was war service that took Murdo to the area: he enlisted at Inverness, was posted to Manchester and then onto Birmingham.

On the 1939 Register neither appears in the area - unless there is some serious mis-indexing.

There is nothing more known about Ethel other than her maiden name from her son's birth certificate, and her age on death - 39.  There is no second name or initial on her son's birth certificate nor on her death certificate - but her partner may simply not have known.

Have you lost Ethel?  Is she from Lancashire?

The above is not much above to go on, but somebody, somewhere may have "lost an Ethel WATERWORTH" born about 1903...if so, could this be her?

I live in hope - you are such a helpful group.

The Common Room / Murdo Campbell MCLEOD
« on: Tuesday 19 January 16 15:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everyone and greetings for 2016

I volunteer to do a family history help desk in the local library.  Every now and then along comes something a tad different and out of our north Warwickshire locality.

Can anyone find the birth, the first marriage and - especially - death of Murdo Campbell MCLEOD for me please!  His son from a WW2 romance is the enquirer - his mother died giving birth.  That was 1942.  Murdo was supposedly a widower when he was posted to England to serve in WW2 when he was on duty at a POW camp. 

Murdo was born July 1897 "Inverness" and was a merchant seaman (I have his 1918 seaman's registration and photo from FindMyPast). 

But what happened to Murdo after 1942 - is he in your tree or have you seen him on your explorations?

Thank you!

Cumberland / Joseph GREEN cabinet maker etc of Penrith: 1840s
« on: Sunday 22 February 15 16:18 GMT (UK)  »
Joseph married in the Penrith registration district in March qtr 1841.  On the 1841 census he is given as being 30.  He seemingly died before 1851 when his wife was shown as widow.  His wife was Catherine, nee BELL from Peover in Cheshire.  She died in Penrith in 1887.

Does anyone have more information about Joseph, please?  Catherine is in my family tree - am curious to understand how/why she was in Penrith and particularly to know about the family of Joseph.
