Canada / My oldest rellie has passed
« on: Saturday 24 May 25 00:27 BST (UK)  »
Sir Arthur Charles Edward Ramshaw who was my 4th cousin died 16 May 2025 in Nokomis Saskatchewan. He was born 18 Feb 1918 in Nokomis. While overseas for WW2 he met Betty Doris Stitchbury (1925-2019) and they married in 1945. In 2014 Arthur became a Knight of France's Legion of Honour. At the age of 102 he was still driving to have coffee with his buddies.

The Common Room / Tom and Mary Brayshaw deaths
« on: Thursday 15 May 25 17:42 BST (UK)  »
I have had no problem tracing Tom and Mary via census but am stumped looking for their death registrations.
Tom(not Thomas) was born abt 1849 and Mary abt 1853. They married 1871 Stockton and where living in Stockton in 1881. The family were living in Harrogate 1891,1901, 1911 and 1921. In 1921 Tom was living with son Thomas Eubank Brayshaw and described as a widower. I tried looking for Mary dod 1911-1921 but no luck . She is not the 1916 Lancaster death nor the 1919 Bradford death. Tom's death does not appear to show up in West Yorkshire. Given the length of time that they lived in Harrogate I would have thought that at least Mary's death would have been there.

I would be interested in seeing obituaries for James H Harding who died 7 Jan 1951 and his wife Alice who died 23 Aug 1956. The dod are taken from public trees with no source identified.

The Common Room / Looking for Conner parents
« on: Sunday 27 April 25 03:42 BST (UK)  »
Lilah Agnes Polly Conner was born 24 Jul 1913 Middlesbrough, Yorkshire. Her parents were John Thomas Conner a coppersmith and Harriet Lewis. Lilah was baptised 11 Aug 1913 and parents shown as Thomas a coppersmith and Annie. The family does not seem to appear in 1921. Lilah and her father show up in 1939 living in Middlesbrough. Thomas shows dob as 18 Sep 1880, a widow and occupation is pipefitter. Thomas John Conner dies 15 Nov 1943 Middlesbrough at the 1939 address. He was a coppersmith at steel works and the informant was D J Charlton a daughter. There is a chance that Harriet Conner may have died 1931 Middlesbrough but the death record is not showing up in GRO.
I have the birth, marriage and death records for Lilah but documentation for her parents seems to be hard to find.

Europe / Who was Annelise Harvey-born Denmark?
« on: Monday 24 February 25 19:32 GMT (UK)  »
Annelise Harvey married Guy Parker Watson (1919-1963). The marriage was registered 1955 Surrey Sw Surrey England. They had a son Robert Derek Watson (1958-1995) whose birth was registered 1958 Surrey Sw Surrey England. The maiden name of the mother is shown on the registration as Gilchrist indicating a possible marriage. A New York travel document for Annelise Watson shows her date of birth as 25 Oct 1928 and place of birth as Denmark.
I am looking for confirmation that Annelise Gilchrist was born in Denmark and also married a Mr Harvey. No birth or marriage for Annelise Gilchrist is recorded in England.

The Common Room / No definite date of death
« on: Wednesday 19 February 25 22:32 GMT (UK)  »
I have come across a death cert that states the person died sometime between 25 and 27 Nov 1942 Scarborough. The person died by inhaling coal gas while of unsound mind according to inquest. She was 84 yrs of age
I guess nobody checked on her regularly

The Common Room / Who was Sheila Gledhill ?
« on: Friday 08 November 24 00:20 GMT (UK)  »
Sheila Gledhill married John W K Brown Oct 1966 Huddersfield
 According to UK and Ireland Newspapers.com Marriage Index Sheila Gledhill married Kenneth Brown 4 Oct 1966 Longwood. Her parents were Westerman and she had a sibling named Brian Westerman.
I have looked for a Sheila Gledhill and Sheila Westerman with no luck. No problem with John William Kenneth Brown and his parents but Sheila is causing problems.
