In a recent article published in the Oxford Mail, there was a photograph which had been taken in 1959 of long serving staff members from Elliston & Cavell Department Store.  One of the staff members was identified as Mr H Scragg.   

I have ancestors with the family name of Scragg but would love to know if this Mr Scragg could be one of mine.  I'm hoping that there may be someone out there who knows who this Mr H Scragg was and what his first name was.  Or failing that, anyone who has family who worked at Elliston & Cavell that may have worked with him.

Thanks in advance, Cheryl

I'm hoping some kind person may be able to help me with a brick wall i'm struggling with!

I'm trying to find a death record for Eliza Beat (formerly Witt) born in 1880 and who I believe died somewhere between 1913 when her last child was born and 1930 when her husband remarried. On the husbands 2nd marriage cert, he was stated as a widow, although it's quite possible he wasn't really!! The last address I have for her was on the 1911 census as Tyndall Road, Leyton. 

I've searced on BMD and Ancestry under various combinations of surname spellings but i'm stumped. If anybody has access to Parish Records in or around Leyton who could have a look for me, I would be most grateful.

Thanks in advance

Hi

I would be extremely grateful if there is anyone who has access to parish records for Hackney for a birth look up.

I'm looking for any info for an Eliza Witt.  Birth reg Q1 1880 Hackney.  99% certain that her parents were William & Eliza Witt.  William's profession on 1891 census was publicans assistant.  I can't find them on 1881 census.

Thanks in advance
Cheryl

I'm hoping some kind person may be able to help with with further details with regards to the following marriage-

Samuel Clinton & Fanny Phillips 26/4/1798 at St Ethelburga, Bishopsgate.

I would be grateful for any additional names included on the parish records if anyone has this access to this info ie parents names/witnesses etc

These are possibly my 4x great grandparents although i'm curious with the London link as my leads so far have been in Hertfordshire.

Many thanks in advance.
