Family History Beginners Board / James Chapman
« on: Thursday 04 March 21 14:18 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for anything further back on James Chapman born Eltham? 1901/2.  He married Agnes Sarah Ayling dob Feb 1902 in 1926 in Eltham.   His mother's name unknown.
According to stories he may have been born out of wedlock to gentry, but marriage cert has his father as a labourer also James Chapman. (Also not found)
No known siblings. 
Thankyou for any info. if found

Kent / Richard Pinder poss AKA James Reginald Pinder
« on: Tuesday 22 May 18 17:56 BST (UK)  »
Trying to work out if (as on 1939 register), Richard and James are one and the same person?
Problem finding Richard (born circa 1893/4/5) under the name Pinder as he may well have been adopted or fostered by Edward G and Alice Pinder. 
Hence the possibility of his surname not being Pinder. Can't find either in a census with the above 'parents'.   Any thoughts? Thanks.

Kent / Alice Pain - what happened to her?
« on: Thursday 22 February 18 14:33 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to link recent family with an Alice Pain from Thanet area in Kent.  So far the only one found is Alice Pain b. circa 1896; father Arthur R 1859-1930 and mother Hannah H (nee Honour)1863-?
Siblings were Arthur b. 1899; Emily b. 1895, Elllen E 1890, Harry P 1887, William R 1885-1919 and Amy Louisa 1883.
Would anyone know who she married if her surname changed please.  Grateful for any info.   :)

Europe / WW1 photo ID & German translation
« on: Friday 17 November 17 15:13 GMT (UK)  »
A long shot perhaps, but does anyone know of/recognize what I think is a 'cafe' for German soldiers in Bouconville, France 1916?  Also if anyone is able to translate any of the writing on the back I'd be grateful.  Thanks.

Staffordshire / Place recognition
« on: Wednesday 18 October 17 13:35 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone identify the name of this place please - 3rd line down.  Seems to suggest Staffordshire: ancestry has it as Mrafewood, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere with that name.

Denbighshire / James Pemberton
« on: Tuesday 17 October 17 15:27 BST (UK)  »
A real conundrum for a lot of people for years trying to find out about this James!  Poss born 1831 or 1837 (birth cert. not that clear) and born according to Ancestry in Mrafewood, Staffs.  There doesn't seem to be a place with that name & the nearest we think it might be Threapwood.  Married in 1857 to Hannah Hughes they lived near Wrexham, but by 1871 census he had "up and left her".  She remarried, but is there anyone out there that might know whatever happened to James?  :-\

Denbighshire / Edith Pemberton

Does anyone know about this grave at Llantysillio church please.  Trying to trace my Pemberton family around that area.  Only thing on stone is that she was a mum and grandmother, died November 1 1934.
