Oxfordshire / DULSTON Family
« on: Sunday 11 November 18 04:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All
It's been a little over ten years since I was here enquiring about this family, but ......
The 1871 Census lists Samuel DULSTON and his wife Jane, with children Joseph, William, Edward, Harry, Arthur, and at one stage there was a daughter Emma.

What I am seeking is someone, descended from any of the children EXCEPT William, who has taken a DNA test for family history purposes.

I need to either prove, or disprove, a familial connection.

Thanks in advance (with fingers crossed) .....

World War One / Uniform Identification Help.
« on: Saturday 25 June 11 13:37 BST (UK)  »
Hello All,

I'm hoping that one of you may be able to identify the army uniform being worn in the attached pic.
The wearer may have belonged to the Middlesex Regiment, but, to me at least, the uniform doesn't seem to have a regular army look about it.

Essex / WEAVER, STOKES, BREWER, BREWSTER Line
« on: Saturday 08 January 11 06:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Listers

I'm attempting to confirm the connection between my 9 x Great-Grandfather Henry WEAVER, bapt 12 August 1576 in Margaret Roding, to the STOKES family.

The connection appears to be via Henry's son John, bapt 1638 in Willingale Doe, thence John's daughter Susannah, bapt 3 February 1665/66 in Willingale Doe.  Susannah apparently married Abraham STOKES on 7 October 1690 in Roxwell.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in confirming this link.

Wiltshire / WATKINS of Highworth
« on: Saturday 01 January 11 06:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, and a happy new year, to all.

My maternal great grandmother was, prior to marriage, Eliza Ann WATKINS. Eliza Ann was apparently born in Kent, but her father, Edward WATKINS,  was born (on 2 November 1834)  into what seems to have been a fairly extensive WATKINS clan in Highworth.

My problem is that great grandma, and her husband William James (or just James) WARREN, were rather 'shadowy' in early and latter parts of their lives.  The middle part, I'm happy to say, is well documented.

Consequently I'm hoping that someone may have the Highworth WATKINS' in their research, and can possibly shed some light on Eliza Ann.

Essex / G H BREWSTER - Titanic
« on: Friday 17 December 10 07:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All

George H BREWSTER was a Bedroom Steward onboard RMS Titanic when it sank in 1912. He did not survive, and his body was never recovered.

Titanic records show that he was married, and was born in Essex in 1863 or 64.

Can anyone tell me if George H BREWSTER has a connection with the, rather prolific, Good Easter Brewsters.

Australia / Ernest Henry WARREN - Where is he?
« on: Tuesday 17 February 09 07:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All

My Uncle, Ernest Henry WARREN, was born September 1907 in Sussex, England.

My Grandfather died in 1916, in England, leaving my Grandmother with ten children, eight of whom were dependant.  Grandmother subsequently gave up two boys to the National Childrens Home.  Both boys, one of whom was Ernest Henry, were subsequently sent to Canada.

My Grandmother married again(in London), to an Australian, and came to Australia about 1919 with her new husband and five children. 

In Canada, in 1926, Ernest Henry indicated to the National Children's Home authorities that he wished to come to Australia to be reunited with his Mother and sisters.  According to Ernest's sister, Dorothy, he did make it to Australia.  His contact with his family, however, was apparently brief.  Ernest (or Ernie as he was known) then disappeared and as far as I am aware, made no further family contact.

My rather obvious question is; Did he remain in Australia? If he did, what happened to him?

Can anyone help ......... please?

Regards
