London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Clifford Davies m Bertha ? 1947
« on: Monday 05 March 07 20:10 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find marriage records for 1947 for London. 

My gran's brother, Clifford Davies (b. 1911 Glamorgan, Wales) married Bertha ? in 1947 in All Saint's Church.  He died in 1950 and she and her son subsequently moved to Australia where she passed away several years later of cancer.  No one in the family knows where their son (Peter) is now.  :-\

I'd like to find the marriage record in order to find her maiden name.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look online?

Thanks!
Karen

Glamorganshire / Welsh Revivial 1904
« on: Friday 12 January 07 22:43 GMT (UK)  »
I'm wondering if anyone out there has been researching Annie Davies of Maesteg that was deeply involved in the Welsh Revival.

She was known as the Maesteg Songbird and worked very closely with the Rev. Evan Roberts.

In my family we have several Annie Davies' and family stories include one who sang "professionally".  Annie Davies would not be a direct ancestor of mine but I believe would have been a cousin to my Gran.

If there is anyone who has discovered this Annie in their family trees, I would be very interested in comparing families and see if I can link my family and hers.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Adopted Child - Hunt, Lucy Selina IOW
« on: Friday 12 January 07 22:37 GMT (UK)  »
In my search for my family on the Isle of Wight I have found that on the 1881 census there is a Lucy Selina Hunt listed as an adopted child of the family of "John Inkpin, 3 Milford Cottages, Newport Road, Godshill, Hampshire".

This is my g-g-g father and family.  I have at home a book of prayers that belonged to Lucy Selina, but I have had no luck tracing where she came from, how she came to be adopted, or any records relating to this.  I have also been unable to find her previous to the 1881 census and after the 1881 census.

Where is the best place to search next? On the Isle of Wight Family History site, they have bmd but so far nothing to search for adoption records.  This is the first adoption I've come across in my family research and it's stumping me.

Canada Lookup Requests Completed / Klondike Gold Rush
« on: Thursday 19 January 06 21:53 GMT (UK)  »
 ??? Does anyone out there have any idea how to find a relative that joined in the Klondike Gold Rush?  I just found out that my g-g-g grandfather came over to Canada twice to join the gold rush.  I've searched the Yukon Genealogy website but it is mostly bmd.  He was born in England and died in Wales.

Is there a website that lists passengers to the gold rush? I know the NWMP had a customs stop at the top of the Chilkoot Pass - is there a list of those entering Canada?

Any ideas on how to proceed would be great!

Thanks!

Glamorganshire / Llangynwyd churches
« on: Tuesday 06 December 05 16:41 GMT (UK)  »
Has anyone done any cemetery inscriptions from Llangynwyd churches?  I know I have family buried there and would like the info off the stones and photos if at all possible.

The family members I'm looking for are Jabez Davies and Emily Violet Davies (nee Herbert).  Any other family members buried nearby would be a bonus!

Thanks a bunch!!

Glamorganshire / Doyle family of Maesteg
« on: Tuesday 06 December 05 16:38 GMT (UK)  »
My grandfather's name is Richard Patrick Doyle and he was born in Maesteg in 1921. His father was Richard Doyle and his mother was Margaret (nee Hough).  I believe that Richard was born in Tipperary, Ireland.  I'm trying to find out anything about the Welsh Doyle family.  I know my grandfather had a brother and 2 sisters, but anything beyond that I don' know.

Can anyone out there help at all?

Thanks!

Any help in tracing her family would be greatly appreciated!
