Family History Beginners Board / Looking for relatives
« on: Wednesday 03 November 10 17:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,  My father-in-law died in 1996 and on clearing the house recently found a letter sent then,  signed 'your cousins Mabel and Florrie', with an address of Cranemoore Close, Highcliffe , Christchurch.

No idea who these cousins are, or even their surname!  Anyway of tracing the address to see if that helps? Tried Landregistry and it appears to have been sold around 2000, which could indicate a death or moving into a home.  If descended  from dad's brother, surname could be Jordan, however, he also had 11 sisters!!!

Canada / Jewell family
« on: Monday 16 February 09 20:48 GMT (UK)  »
Ernest Thomas Jewell emigrated to Detroit, Michigan (see topic on USA board) in 1902 with his 6 sisters.  He married Retta from Canada in 1905 and his residence at death was shown as Canada.
No idea if he had any children.  Does anyone know anything about Ernest or the Jewell sisters?

United States of America / Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA
« on: Friday 13 February 09 17:58 GMT (UK)  »
 Hi

Trying to contact descendants of a family who emigrated from England in 1902.  Mrs Jewell, a widow, married Mr Sabin, and emigrated with her son and 6 daughters (all with surname of Jewell) plus a son and daughter of Mr Sabin.  A daughter, Ivy Sabin, was born to them in USA.  The family settled in Detroit and the daughters eventually married.  The son, Thomas, married Retta around 1920 and was a flag maker.

Has anyone access to the marriage registers of St Martins in the Fields?  Trying to trace the marriage of William Barford to Maye Jewell in 1902.

Armagh / Orr family from Lurgan
« on: Friday 05 May 06 21:26 BST (UK)  »
My grandparents were James Orr and Margaret Foye. They married in Lurgan on 23 July 1919 and one of the witnesses was GEORGE ORR.  Does anyone know anything about him?  My mother cannot recall an uncle George but he must be related in some way.
