Other Countries / Italian records
« on: Friday 02 June 23 14:18 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any records or information on my Italian grandparents Angela D'Ambrosio b.1894 and Sebastiano de Luca.  They lived in San Sebastiano al Vesuvio, Naples.  I think the parents of Sebastiano were Vincenzo de Luca and Antonietta Busiello. 

I  have had my dna done and match lots of people but all are in the US.  Because they are distant cousins we cant find connections although Ancestry is saying surnames closest to me are Bandiera, Caruso, DeGenova and DiNardo.  Areas being quoted are Naples, Averra and Avellino.

I woukd be so grateful for any help.  thank you

London and Middlesex / Francis W Brien
« on: Friday 25 November 22 09:43 GMT (UK)  »
I know you all like a mystery so here's another one for you.  In the 1901 census we have

Francis W Brien b.1840 Newington dock labourer living in Bale Street
Jane Brien  wife  b.1844 Bethnal Green
George Brien b.1886 son
Francis G Wheatley grandson b.1889
Edith McDonald b.1892 Granddaughter Stepney

In 1911 census
Edith M Donald niece age 19 b.1892 living at 32 Bale Street with
John Henry Brien b.1873 Ely Terrace Mile End
Emma Brien wife b.1879
Sidney Winston Brien b.1909 son Ession St Stepney
Mrs Jane Brien widow 1844 Bethnal Green mother

So Francis Brien married Jane Griffiths Whitechapel 1865 but in all the censuses from 1871 to 1891 Edith brien, who we think was born 1865 in Bethnal Green, isn't mentioned. Her birth details/ certificate can't be found.  Can anyone find her connection to Francis W Brien snr?
Edith Brien married George Wheatley 1885
Edith Wheatley married John McDonald in Mile End 1891

many thanks

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / charles Andrew Baker b. 1836 Southwark
« on: Thursday 06 October 22 15:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I wonder if anyone can help me.  I've just seen on my Ancestry DNA that someone has Charles Andrew Baker b 1836 in Southwark as the father of a person on my father's tree:  Emily Baker b.1862 Holborn.

I have a different father for her James Baker b.1835 Hackney.  He was married to Catherine Davies b.1837 Finchley.  I had him down as her father because his job and place living matched Emily's wedding certificate.  See my notes below.

On wedding certificate Emily was living at 62 Whitethorn Street, Father JaMes Baker, Cab Proprietor.

In 1911 census it says that Emily was born in Kings Cross.

however for a long while now I have thought that i have this wrong.  I'm getting no matches before Emily and I think her siblings aren't right.

Emily married Richard Henry Thompson born 14 Jan 1854 in Hale Street East Peckham Kent.  I have the wedding cert.  On his notes i have : In 1891 Niece Eveline Nunn aged 8 born Forest Gate was living with Richard and his wife Emily. 

i believe Eveline Nunn is the key in finding Enily's family?  can anyone help at all please.  Many thanks

Many thanks for any help.

Australia / Isabel Henrietta Lambert
« on: Thursday 14 May 20 12:03 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I'm desperately trying to find out more about Isabel Henrietta Lambert (I believe that is her maiden name). 

She gave birth to Leslie John Lee born 1919 in Sydney but I don't think she married the father who she named as John Lee.  Isabel married Leslie Pattison and they had Ramona and Norma.  Ramona married Raymond Cowan Sharpe.

Isabel henrietta Pattison death notice states she died on 2 August 1943 loving mother of  Norma, Ramona and leslie 45.  Her father was Joseph and mother was May.  I can't find anything more about these parents.  Can anyone help please?  Thank you.

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Francis Trotter Thorne b.1871 Greenwich
« on: Thursday 28 March 19 13:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

Please could somebody do a quick look up for me?  I can see Francis T (Trotter) Thorne b.1871 Greenwich/Deptford and his brother Robert H or K Thorne born 1872? not sure as 5-6 years difference to previous census - they are together living in Surrey but no names of family with them.  As they are 9 and 10 years old I need to know who else is with them at the household.  Or maybe they are at a school?

Also looking for marriages.  I think Francis possibly married someone called Justinia?  Can't find anything.  There were connections with Scotland.  Not sure what happened to Robert.  He might be the same as Robert Kirkwood but not sure.  The boys are in the 1871 census with parents Henry Peniston Thorn (final 3 missing) from Bath  and Janet (Napier) from Scotland.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / 1939 look up please
« on: Friday 30 November 18 09:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, can anyone kindly sort out a mystery by looking up the 1939 census for me?  Twins Evelyn I and Kathleen M were born Dec qtr 1939 and I am wondering if they are on the census for that year?  There are two different families they could belong to:  Edward Speller and his wife Ivy, or George Speller and his wife Margaret.  Both women's maiden names was Gray which makes this query.  They were all born Stratford/West Ham.  Edward was born 1910 and George William Henry was born 1916.  Thanking you.

Essex Lookup Requests / Frederick Herbert Dorrington b.1864 Islington
« on: Friday 28 September 18 20:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, I found Fred on the 1911 census but he is named as Darrington instead of Dorrington.  He is with his wife Rose b.1864 Woodstock, Oxfordshire.  I have his occupation as Bear House Keeper.  I would be very grateful if someone could look up the actual census page to see what his address was as I need to ascertain whether he actually looked after a bear or was a house keeper in the Bear Pub.  Strangely enough there was a real live bear in the pub called The Bear in Noak Hill but I see it was there in the 60s and this is 1911.  Also it says his grandson Rue but that looks like a wrong spelling?  Many thanks.
