Shropshire / Ethel Mary Twigg
« on: Sunday 28 April 19 23:48 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to tidy up loose ends on my Family Tree, and one name is giving me a few headaches. It is Ethel Mary Twigg born 1904 daughter of Arthur William Twigg and Emma nee Piggott. I hhave found her birth registration and also her on the 1911 Census but after that nothing. I have asked some of the other descendants of Arthur and Emma about her, and have been told she married a Sidney Hayes, no idea where or when or what happened to her. I cannot find any record of the marriage or where she may have been. Can anyone help Arthur was a Police Sergeant in Shrewsbury in Shropshire. Do hope there is some wonderful person who may be able to help me just a little bit.  Many thanks Bev Price [Pialba}

Roxburghshire / Gilbert Welch
« on: Wednesday 28 March 18 23:56 BST (UK)  »
I have just recently discovered that my Gr Gr Gr Gr Grandfather was a Gilbert Welch who married a Margaret Thompson in Simonburn, I have found a bpatsim of a Gilbert Welch to a Thomas Welch and Agnes Hall in Roxburgh, Scotland. However I have not been able to find a marriage of Thomas and Agnes, nor any baptisms of Agnes Hall and Thomas Welch, It would be in the mid 1700s as Gilbert was born in 1765. There was an Agnes, born 1764, A Thomas 1775, and a Beatrix in 1768. All were baptised at Castleton, Roxburgh. Is there anywhere I might be able to find the births of Thomas and Agnes, and also marriage, and deaths.  Look forward to some hints.

Northumberland / John Vasey Hodgson
« on: Friday 26 May 17 01:30 BST (UK)  »
I had sent for the Marriage of Florence May Hall and John Vasey Hodgson, which showed it was the Florence May Hall I was looking for, Now to try and find something on John Vasey Hodgson. It showed his father as being a George Hodgson, so looked on the Census, and found a George Hodgson born 1875/76 born Blaydon, Northumberland. however have found a couple of them born that time period, so to find the right one. Trouble is, it is only the 1901 census that shows him being born at Blaydon, the 1911 only has his place of birth as being "unknown" He was in Durham. He married Jane Isabella Johnson. Would like to be able to trace him back a bit further, and hope there is someone who may be able to help.

Durham / Florence May Hall
« on: Saturday 15 April 17 01:29 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find some information on a Florence May Hall born 11 June 1902 in West Rainton, Durham. Her parents were John Hall born 1850 and Elizabeth Ann nee Reay. I have only been able to find something up to the 1911 Census, and have come to a dead end. I don't know if she married and if so, to whom, or she died not long after 1911. If anyone can help me I would be so grateful. Pialba [Bev Price.

South Africa / Langton
« on: Saturday 21 December 13 02:48 GMT (UK)  »
Am trying to find information on William Ernest or Ernest Will Langton, who may have been born in South Africa. I have very little information on him, other than he was in England around 1904 and was the father of Lilian Dorothy Langton who later took the name of  Parsons, when her mother married Frederick Parsons. her mother was Louisa or Louie Goulden. When Lilian was born they lived at Balham, and he was listed as a Builders Foreman. I have been told he wanted Louisa to return to S.A. with him and bring Lilian, but she decided to stay in England. He paid a substantial maintenance for Lilian and when he died just after the Second World War, he left Lilian quite well off. I think he may have been married, and perhaps born about 1880. I know the information is scant, but if anyone could help point me in the direction of how to find anything about him or his will, would be very pleased. Pialba [Bev}

I have her death certificte with the information from her son, she was born 18 June 1904 in London, but there is no sign of a Lily dorothy being born in London or Middlesex in 1904. Can anyone help me please. costing too much money to keep sending for certificates.

« on: Thursday 14 June 12 01:10 BST (UK)  »
Trying to find anything I can on Jane Todd Parker born about 1882 at Haydon Bridge, her parents were William and Jane nee Carne. Now I have managed to find her on the the 1891 Census with her parents  at Haydon Bridge, I can't seem to find her on the 1901 census, but on the 1911 Census I did find a Jane Wallace age 28 born 1883 Haydon Bridge,, with her brother Thomas and his wife Elizabeth at 70 Victoria Road, Gateshead. She is listed as an actress and with her was Roy Wallace born 1884, Actor, born London, and Rose Austin, niece[ of Thomas? or Elizabeth? or Jane? or Roy?, born 1901 London, George Austin nephew born 1902 born Gateshead, William Austin nephew born 1903 born West Auckland, and Francis/Frances Austin niece born 1907 born Amble.

London and Middlesex / Louisa Mayes/Mays
« on: Tuesday 20 September 11 00:48 BST (UK)  »
Am trying to find some information on a Louisa Mayes/Mays born about 1821 in Chelsea. In 1847 she married a James Richard Beard, and has her father as Joseph Mayes/Mays his profession is listed as a veterinary surgeon. One of the witnesses was a Mary Ann Mayes/Mays. I have looked at census, births, marriages and deaths with no luck in finding [a] Louisa's birth/baptism, Joseph's marriage, death,[c] Mary Ann.
Would be so grateful if someone could help me at least get a lead.
My interest stems from the connection of Louisa to a Mary Ann Barnes nee Twigg, as in a family bible owned by another person also seeking info, has Mary Ann Barnes as Louisa's mother.
