World War Two / Army Service records by serial number
« on: Thursday 10 July 14 16:58 BST (UK)  »
Looking at a case involving a friends father, mother passed away without giving any info at all regarding his biological father who according to his birth cert had died before he was born in 1946, on his birth certificate it gives name and army number (1068275), however on contacting military and MOD they state that the number does not match the name so will not hand over any information.
Question: is there any where to find a name just by having the serial number, it appears his mother was covering something up and he is desperate to find out more. To make matters worse his mother claims to have been married to him but there is no record of a marriage.

Berkshire Lookup Requests / Phyllis May Hayes ?
« on: Thursday 25 April 13 12:52 BST (UK)  »
A mystery lady. Married Frederick Walker in 1918 (Faringdon Register Office), according to marriage certificate he was a widower 70 years old and she was Spinster aged 25. This would lead me to suppose her birthdate is circa 1893 but i cannot find her on BMDs or Census. Her father is listed as Charles Hayes a Cowman on a farm and she was living with Frederick at the time of marriage in Gravel Walk, Faringdon. I know all about Frederick but nothing about her so if anyone has access to the local Parish records and can find a mention of her I would be very appreciative.

Nottinghamshire / Hicking
« on: Thursday 15 November 12 14:28 GMT (UK)  »
Not looking for anyone specific but whilst trawling through 1911 census for someone with the surname Hickling I noted that there were several but all of them were infants.
I assume these were brought into the country as orphans or something but can anyone fill me in on the details as I found it rather odd.
There was also a mention of Norse child.

Knowing the people that inhabit this site I am sure someone will have the answer.

Sussex / A family tale
« on: Saturday 14 July 12 17:51 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to sort out the facts regarding the following and any information, records newspaper cuttings etc that have any bearing what so ever would be gratefully received. OK The story is:
Well first lets deal with the cast:
Aaron John Wright also possibly known as John Harris or John Wright, born 1875 Maresfield, Sussex
Amelia Lavinia Pankhurst born 26 March 1872 Hartfield, Sussex

now Amelia married William Miles 1890 in East Grinstead and over the next 9 years had several children.
In 1900 Amelia went off with Aaron and set up home as John & Amelia Harris in Reigate, the story is that they ran away when Aaron allegedly attacked a local gamekeeper, hence the need to change his name.
From 1901 to 1911 they moved between Lewes and Tonbridge with Amelia giving birth to Marjorie, Ivy and Nora along the way, this is on the 1911 census.
There are no records that match  these births unless you look at Nora Harris Lewes) and Ivy Harris (Tonbridge)
Nora went on to marry a stable lad/jockey named James Dunn, they also lived in Sussex.
I am not expecting to get chapter and verse on this family but if you happen to have come across anything that you think might be related please pass it on. This started as a professional investigation but is now something more personal.
