Warwickshire / Hands family, Warwickshire
« on: Monday 26 November 18 12:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hello. Bit of a longshot, but does anyone have anything for a family by the name of Hands in either the village of Ilmington or nearby Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire. I have one individual born circa 1915, name possibly Molly, but not much else.

World War Two / Lancaster aircrew
« on: Thursday 09 June 16 10:24 BST (UK)  »
Trying to find some stuff on my great uncle, Delwyn (Del) Griffiths, born 03/08/1923, who I am pretty certain was Lancaster aircrew in WW2, probably a flight engineer. His place, of birth, if relevant, would be either Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, or the village of Pantywaun, also Glamorgan. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Armed Forces / Grenadier Guard........or not?
« on: Monday 18 May 15 19:59 BST (UK)  »
Any tips on verifying whether an individual served in the Grenadier Guards over 100 years ago? Name was Alfred Harold GORIN, born circa 1888 in or near Gloucester. Am guessing he would have served, if indeed he did, between roughly 1906 and 1911, as by 1912 he was self-employed in Hereford.

Cheers.

Armed Forces / Warrant Officer, Royal Navy
« on: Sunday 17 May 15 17:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi all.

Researching an individual by the name of Harry David JENNER (surname possibly also rendered as JANNER). At the moment, the main source I have for him is a copy of his marriage certificate, dated 10 September 1919, in which his age is given as 28 and his occupation as Warrant Officer, RN. Underneath this is appended what looks like HMS Lowestoft, but my reading of this could well be incorrect, as the writing is very small and hard to make out. His residence is given as 24 Eastport Lane, Lewes, Sussex, and he is shown as a widower, this time around marrying a Hilda Blanche JENNER (a cousin, possibly?); his father is also shown as a Harry Jenner. The only other document I have for him at the moment is a copy of the 1901 census, on which he appears as Harry David JANNER, aged 9, in South Heighton, Sussex. Anybody have any tips on how I can fill in the gaps for this individual, possibly via a service record, etc?

Cheers. MT

Gloucestershire / Lawrence family in Gloucester, UK
« on: Wednesday 04 March 15 16:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all

Have been going around in circles with this one for a few days, so could maybe do with a nudge in the right direction. Trying to research the family of a Rosina May LAWRENCE, who I had been informed originated from Ireland. I now have her definitely, however, in Gloucester, via her marriage record to a Thomas KEELING, dated 7 December 1912, and her birth record, in St Mark's parish, Kingsholm, Gloucester (specifically Counsel Street), to a William and Fanny Maria LAWRENCE in 1893. I also have her, as Roseana LAWRENCE, aged 7, with the rest of her family, again at 6 Counsel Street, on the 1901 census, and the rest of her family, again seemingly at the same address, on the 1891 census, obviously pre-her birth. Mother's family all seem to be Gloucester-born, but father William Lawrence seems to hail from Marlborough, Wilts; no sign as yet of an Irish connection. Bit stuck now. Any takers?

Hi guys.

Any tips on trying to trace an individual in the Dublin workhouses? All I have at present is a name: Rose Lawrence.

Cheers.

The Common Room / Gorin and Jenner families, Ledbury and East Sussex
« on: Tuesday 04 November 14 09:24 GMT (UK)  »
Just started researching the families of William Edward GORIN, born Ledbury, Herefordshire 17/11/1919, and Freda Pearl JENNER, born Lewes, Sussex, 01/06/1923. They were married in the 1940s. Birth certs on order, but anybody have anything at all on their likely respective families?

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Hillier family, Hampshire, post-1911 Census
« on: Saturday 07 September 13 15:55 BST (UK)  »
Don't know whether this is permissible, but has anyone researched this family post-1911? On that date, the family included sons Robert Howard Hillier (born London 1903), Alfred Desmond Hillier (born Winchester 1904) and Percival Jack Hillier (born Winchester 1906). Has anyone researched any later siblings/developments?

Many thanks.

Hampshire & IOW Completed Lookup Requests / Harriett Elizabeth BOLLOM, Hampshire
« on: Wednesday 14 August 13 14:11 BST (UK)  »
Am having a job trying to find entries for Harriet on the 1851, 1861 and 1871 censuses. I have her (married, as a Hellier) on the 1881 census, with an approximate YOB of 1849, in Freemantle, Hants. I also have the birth certificate of her eldest child in 1877, from which her maiden name has been taken; looks like it can't be anything other than Bollom to me. HELP!!!
