Pembrokeshire / A Mystery - Jonah Morgan
« on: Tuesday 31 August 10 14:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi there, back on this website after many years absence!

Jonah Morgan, born c.1817, however place of birth changes from census to census - in 1861 it's Begelly;  1871 it's Carmarthenshire;  1881 it's Llandewey, Pembs, and 1891 it's St Clears, Carmarthenshire! All we know for sure is he married Sarah Davies in Narbeth in 1843, with his oldest son John born in Begelly in 1844. I am descended from his son Levi, also born in Begelly in 1856.

I would greatly appreciate any tips on how to pin down Jonah; following the Morgan name has always been a key interest of mine and my relatives.

Thanks in advance,

Becca

Berkshire Lookup Requests / 1891 Census Lookup please - FRANKLIN
« on: Saturday 11 November 06 18:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I would really appreciate some help with my current brick wall!

I have recieved some information from a relative, so I don't know how they found out any of this. I am looking for a Rose Mary Franklin, born 18 July 1887, but I do not have a location. She ended up in Norfolk, but there is no Franklin's of the right name in the area. The only other information I know about her is that her mother was Emma Franklin (nee Green). I don't have a first name for her father.

I have done a free search of the 1891 census, and there are three Rose M Franklin's in the country. One is in Berkshire, one in Warwickshire and one in Oxfordshire. She may not have given the 'M' or 'Mary' at all, but it is a start!

If anyone is able to check mother's names to get somewhere in this mystery and possibly find a father's name I would be very thankful.

Thanks for any help,

Becca

Norfolk Lookup Requests / 1901 Census lookup please - HOWARD
« on: Thursday 07 September 06 19:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I have just had a phone call from a long lost Canadian relative, trying to trace her english grandparents. I have already traced her grandmother's side, but her grandfather I don't know much about.

Sidney William HOWARD born 1893 Mitford district

If you manage to find anything that would be great. Sorry I only have a name! That's the only one on FreeBMD and fits perfectly with dates and places etc.

Thanks for any help,

Becca

Hi,

I am researching an old family joke that we are frogs! All I know is that I have a Mary born before 1900 who married Charles Abbott. I have no maiden name for certain, but it is likely that she was a Frog and came froma small suffolk village.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks,

Canada / Howard - Emigrated to Canada
« on: Wednesday 10 May 06 18:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm trying to trace some relatives who emigrated to Canada, somewhere between 1925 and 1950. Sorry I can't be very specific with dates! Its probably after 1935, and soon after that, but I can't be sure.

Their names were:
Olive Howard born 1897 Norfolk, England
Sydney (?) Howard Born England (Known as Sid, no spelling)

and their son

Alec Howard born England

They emigrated to Saskatchewan, with Olive's younger brothers:

Eric Hagan born Norfolk
Charles Hagan born Norfolk

Charles and Eric came home soon (ish) afterwards, all I know is that Eric came home in time to get married and have a son in 1942.

Thanks,

Becca

Berkshire Lookup Requests / 1891 census look up please
« on: Friday 10 March 06 18:13 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to find Rose Mary Franklin, born 18 Jun 1887. She had a son who was born in Norfolk (husband also from Norfolk), but from searching IGI/FreeBMD I haven't found her birth in Norfolk . There is a likely candidate in Bradfield district (which covers part of Berkshire?). Her mother was Emma Franklin (nee Green), and I don't know her father's name.

I know it's a long shot, and I haven't got any info, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, 

Rebecca
