Hi there,
Looking for some advice - my Grandfather left the UK sometime after marrying his 2nd wife. He either went to America or Canada, we have heard from a relative it was more likely America. Looking for a needle in a haystack.

M Poole nee Morgan 28/03/32.
They married in 1957 in Gloucester.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, just looking for some advice on how I can find out more info on what happened to my relative Nancy, her Mother Harriet and sister Eileen. They were on-board the Athenia when it was torpedoed in 1939. Nancy died and I believe Harriet and Eileen were injured.
They were visiting from Canada.

Thanks

Canada Lookup Request / Victor Poole

« on: Saturday 02 September 17 20:56 BST (UK) »

Hi,

Not sure if anyone would be able to help but here goes - my Grandfather Victor D Poole was born in 1932 in Chepstow. He emigrated to Canada with his new wife Margaret sometime shortly after 1956. How would I go about searching for him? I have assumed that he has since passed away but I may be wrong.
Thanks in advance,

Deborah

Glamorganshire / Robert Henry Griffiths

« on: Sunday 16 July 17 10:44 BST (UK) »

Hi,

Just looking for some advice. Can't seem to find a birth entry for my G G Grandfather Robert Henry Griffiths. On all census records, military record and marriage it states birth abt 1874 in Swansea. But I can't find anything to confirm. On the marriage cert it states his father as Robert Griffiths and deceased - this was 1896. He lived mainly in Pontypridd but also Pontypool and Maerdy. He died in 1933 Llwynypia Hospital. Any advice where to look next greatly received!

Thanks

Armed Forces / South Wales Borderers 3rd Battalion Monmouth

« on: Sunday 09 July 17 21:17 BST (UK) »

Hi there,

A bit puzzled and I was hoping someone could shed some light. We have recently found a Militia attestation doc (WO96) for my GG Grandfather. It is dated 1892 and states that he is signing up to the SWB 3rd Battalion Monmouths for 6 years. However I know he married and had his first child in 1895. I can't seem to find anything else for him or any info about this particular battalion. The number detailed at the top of the page is 4521 - would this be his service number?

Robert Henry Griffiths - DOB abt 1874 Swansea - was living in Bedwellty at the time enlistment.

Thanks,

Deborah

Family History Beginners Board / Griffiths Family from Pontypridd

« on: Monday 07 March 16 08:08 GMT (UK) »

Hi all,

I have been searching for my Great Grandmother's twin for 3 years now but have come to a complete dead end. Any advice gratefully received.

Susannah Griffiths 19/06/1910 born in Pontypridd
Parents - Robert Henry Griffiths and Margaret Griffiths nee Williams
My G Grandmother was Rachel.
They were put in a children's home for a few months after their mother died in 1922 but then taken out and privately put into service. My G Grandmother was sent to Plymouth and we believe Susannah (Susie) was sent to London but this is all we know.

Any ideas?
