London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Mary Field

« on: Thursday 06 November 08 19:49 GMT (UK) »

Hi,
I am trying to trace family of Mary Field, born abt 1833 in St Marylebone, London. She married peter Coote at St Pancras old Church in Dec 1860, She had 3 children: William, Emma Agnes & Susan June Coote.
She is found living with a Smith family in Marylebone in 1841 cencus & she is a servant in 1851 Cencus.
Her marriage certificate has her father down as George Field (deceased) no profession entered.
I would like to be able to find out when she was born, parents names & any sibling details. I am completely stuck & would be grateful for any assistance, as I am going around in circles & getting nowhere.
many thanks, Gill

Family History Beginners Board / William (Blake) Coote

« on: Wednesday 21 May 08 17:45 BST (UK) »

Hi,
I am now completely flumuxed over the birth of my grandfather, William Blake Coote.
His mother Eliza Mary Blake married William Coote in Chelsea in 1886.
He was born as William Blake between 1882/1885 before his parents were married, taking on the name Coote after his parents married.
I have asked the GRO to do a 3 year search (1882/85) but they only searched first 6 names of each year.
How can it be so difficult to find out when he was born & where, as we know the rest.
I have asked about this before but the 2 birth records I obtained were wrong & I thought the search would bring about a result. Can anyone help to add this piece in? Thanks, Gill

Family History Beginners Board / Missing relative!

« on: Monday 12 May 08 07:49 BST (UK) »

Hi,
I really hope that there is someone out there who can help me in tracing a missing relative!
He is CORRIE BAMPTON born in Eton in 1900, he had 2 brothers & 1 sister all of whom I know about but Corrie is a complete mystery!
After 1901 Cencus there is no record of him in BMDs, etc.
I did see a mention of the following:
1930 United States Federal Cencus
Name: Corrie Bampton
Spouse: H W
Birth: about 1883
Residence: 1930- city, New Haven, Conneticut

I know the birth range is alot but it has been known for people to exaggerate their age in the past.
If he died as a child surely there would be a record for him? Help, thanks>

Hi,
I am still trying to find info on my grandad & his siblings coming to England from Northern Italy between 1915-1922.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / William (Blake) Coote

« on: Thursday 17 April 08 19:14 BST (UK) »

Hello,

I am trying to trace the birth records of my grandfather William (Blake) Coote .
He was born to Eliza Blake (born 1866). She went onto marry William Coote in Chelsea in Mar 1886.
I think he was born out of wedlock as William Blake about 1883/85, possibly in Chelsea or Kensington.
I have already seen " who donot seem to fit:
1 William Blake born in Chelsea in Sept 1885 as his parents were Henry & Rachel Blake.
2 William Blake born in Kensington in Sept 1884, although his mother is down as Mary Blake (servant).

I have since asked the GRO to do a3 year search 1883/85 for William Blake but I had a reply last night to say that there was only a check on first 6 entries of each year.
I am flumuxed as I gave the month of birth which was September but why can I not trace his birth.
Can anyone help, as I am still newish at this I have been trying> Thanks.

Europe Resources & Offers / Immigration Northern Italy to England

« on: Thursday 17 April 08 18:37 BST (UK) »

Hi, I am in a bit of a quandary as to how my grandfather came to London from NW Italy.
His name was Fiore Sartor & he arrived in London about August 1920. He already had his sister & " brothers living in London when he arrived.
I think he would have probably travelled overland to a French port then to England, then to London.

I have been advised to try the National Archive record but so far I have had no luck. Could it be that I will not be able to find any records for him?

Help, Gill
