Other Countries / John Murray died Hong Kong 2024
« on: Thursday 17 April 25 07:48 BST (UK)  »
Seeking any information regarding my relative John Murray who was born during 1953 probably in Ayrshire, Scotland and passed away at Gleneagles Hospital, Hong Kong on 16th January 2024. His wife (Celia?) was an Asian lady from Hong Kong. They had 2 daughters who lived in England I believe.
My grandmother Elizabeth Murray (b. 1891) and John's grandfather Charles Murray (b. 1895) were brother and sister.
I am endeavouring to fill the gap between Charles' unknown wife & their children, one male of which must have been John's father.

Europe / Italy - Nazi Killings in Provence of Chieti
« on: Saturday 01 June 24 04:28 BST (UK)  »
My wife's great-uncle was interned in Australia during World War 2. His Internment Documentation, obtained from National Archives of Australia, shows his wife as Antonietta Di LUCA, resident at Contruto Vebencheri (?), Provence of Chieti. We do not know Antonietta's maiden surname and despite numerous searches are unable to locate Contruto Vebencheri.
Family lore indicates a German soldier was killed by Italian partisans at a nearby location and in revenge the Germans executed a number of innocent individuals among whom were his wife and children.

Any information would be gratefully received. Sincerest thanks in advance.

Australia / Seeking any information - Mabel, Norah and Emilie BELL
« on: Monday 01 February 21 07:06 GMT (UK)  »
Mabel, Norah and Emilie/Elsie (?) were noted in the 1891 & 1901 Census living with their parents and Leonard their brother.
A cousin has obtained a copy of Leonard's 1957 probate which divides his assets equally between M.E. Hocken (Mabel?) - 1/3rd as sister,  N. L. Green (Norah?) – 1/3rd as sister and  E. E. Bell (Elsie/Emilie?) – 1/3rd as sister.
As all three ladies were noted in the 1891 Census, it is highly probable they are now deceased.

Sincere thanks for any information.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Seeking contact with CHERRYs (COOPERs)
« on: Friday 23 August 19 15:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi, on a paid site, I have located a CHERRY (COOPER) tree listing my great-grandfather William McCREADIE. His wife’s forename was Elizabeth and her surname was Irish - am attempting to be circumspect. I would be thrilled to establish contact with the owners of the tree whom I assume are NZ based.
The viewable limited information is correct, listing events in Ayrshire and Dunedin. Some family members emigrated while others remained behind in two adjacent towns on the Clyde. My father was informally fostered by son Edward & his wife and I and my 3 siblings grew up knowing them as Gran and Granpa. My father identified as a McCREADIE all his life as do I and my remaining 2 siblings.
Hoping to hear from you, whoever/wherever you are.
