Would appreciate help in dating this photo and possible location. Having checked on line the car is possibly from the 1920s but I have a feeling the photo was taken after ww2.

The man in the sailor hat was Francis Phillips born 1909 in Stratford, East London and lived Manor Park, East London/Essex area  all of his life. No idea who the men are with him.

Thanks

Hi
Looking for details for Cornelius Mahoney.
Looking for any entries to prove his  existance .   

We have no birth date for him.  Family didn't talk about him at all so we know very little, only what we got from baptism and birth cert. 

He is stated on certs as father to Mary Mahoney born August 1918, registered in Jan 1919 with birth given as Dec 1918.  Mary's mother Hannah Mahoney/Lane maiden name Murphy. 

If any one can think of any reason why there would have been such a big gap between birth and registration would appreciate suggestions.  Address given as Bachelors Quay, Cork.  Occupation labourer. 

We know Cornelius died but we don't know when.    I had thought that may have been the reason for delay in registration but can't find a likely death entry unless it wasn't in Cork. 

Rumour had it that Cornelius died and Hannahs children Hannah born 1911 and Etta born approx 1908 were put in orphanage while Hannah kept Mary.  Possibly 2older brothers also put in orphanage Richard b.1906 and Thomas b.1907.  This would have put Cornelius death after 1917/18.  This is just family rumour however. Hannah ended up moving to Preston Lancashire we think abt 1932 then was in London according to 1939 register with Dau Hannah and Son Richard and showed as widowed.  By that time Etta said to have died. 

I haven't been able to find a marriage between Hannah and Cornelius. He is potentially her third husband. 1st husband Dennis Lane Married 1896. 2nd husband Thomas Mahoney married 1906.  We wondered if she didn't marry Cornelius.

There was a possible entry for son Denis Lane in Irish army census in 1922 which gives next of kin mother Hannah Mahoney. Address for both is Evergreen St. Cork.    Checked this address out in 1911 census and bizarrely there is a Cornelius Mahoney and family (not mine) living in Evergreen Road which leads off Evergeen St but this may just be a big coincidence.  I had wondered if this Cornelius became widowed.  I do know in 1964 electoral roll in Essex Hannah born 1911 has a Mary Mahoney living with her that was supposedly a cousin.  There is a Mary Mahoney in this family in Evergreen but again may be a coincidence. 

Would appreciate any help to find marriage/death/ any info for Cornelius. I know there's not much to go on and this may never be solved.  Thanks for any help.
Regards

Hi all

My ancestors were dealers/hawkers. Aaron Phillips born 1818 had listed Dagenham as his birth place on the census' but we could not find his birth there ( in parish records). Then on one cert he put Dagnam.  Having checked the internet I have found there was a Dagnam Park in Havering.

My question mainly is has any one heard/seen written if travellers/gypsies stayed here?

Thanks

Hi,

Is there anyone with access to burial records that would cover Friern Barnet either under Middlesex or Herts. I am looking for:-

Francis Phillips died 1891 Friern Barnet Lunatic Asylum (aka Colney Hatch). Dont know where he was buried but assume it was in/near the asylum.

Would be grateful for any help.

Hi,

I am looking for the marriage of Thomas and Ann Hannah Sutton. Both born around 1782. They have children from 1811 onwards in Dagenham/Barking/Romford ESsex. Ann Hannah shows her birth as Berkshire in 1851 and 1861. Thomas birth location unknown - dies 1837.

On the baptism records of the children Ann Hannah also appears as Ann, Ann H, Hannah. She appears as Hannah in 1841, Ann in 1851 and Ann H in 1861.

I can't get any further back because I dont know if they married in Berkshire or Essex. I know this is a long shot but would be grateful for any info on a poss marriage.

Thanks.
