The Common Room / British Subject born in Holland
« on: Wednesday 21 December 16 10:26 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all

For some time now I have been aware that my paternal grandfather and a sister were born in Holland (1860s) and I have a copy of the pages from the Dutch register.  My question is - Is it possible to research why the family were there?  Who was his father working for? I believe he was a carriage driver.  Any help or suggestions very gratefully received.

Thank you

Canada / Dominy families in Greenspond, NL
« on: Friday 02 December 16 22:06 GMT (UK)  »
I found the name of DOMINY on a memorial panel on the battlefields of Flanders and that piqued my interest in trying to trace the family line back to the UK.  Harry Dominy was the name I found and, from his army details I know his father was Edgar J b1871.  From the Greenspond Letter dated October 1995, quoting the 1911 census it shows his mother as Annie Alice, b 1870, and there were 6 children living in the household at that time.  The census shows two other Dominy households in Greenspond at the time.

From familysearch.org it looks as though THAT family link originated with a John Dominy from Norfolk in about 1800, but, despite quite a lot of digging, I have not been able to identify the birth of that John.

If possible, I would like to document the links back  so can anyone help with the NL side, please?

Thank you

PJ
