Hi,

Can anyone find the date of birth for John Dale, his marrage date and wifes name (maiden name). also I have Hannah married to a George Fletcher, both married at Lythe 1791, is this the correct Hannah Dale. Thanking you all very much for your time with this problem of mine, it would be a great help to find the answers.

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Look up for a Ernest Wilfred Jackson

« on: Sunday 01 May 11 16:31 BST (UK) »

Hi All,
This one is a long shot I need help with, so here goes. Ernest Wilfred Jackson was one of my Uncles, I do not have much information on him apart from the following.

He was a Commadore in the Merchant Navy during WWII and captured by the Japanese possibly in Singapore. I was told I saw him when he came home after the war but he died soon after due to the malnutrition and very bad treatment from the Japanese. His name, I was told was added to the War Memorial in Middlesbourgh. Any help would be marvelous.

Regards
Mike
Updated today. His name was Ernest Wilfred Jackson, not William. I am not sure but he might have been promoted to Commadore after the war and lived longer than I thought. Possibly Stockton area. I do not think he will be on a war Memorial.

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Lofthouse Family

« on: Thursday 07 January 10 15:43 GMT (UK) »

Hi All,
I am trying to find out anything I can about a Francis Robert Lofthouse, born approx 1894 in Thornaby, he was on the 1901 census aged 7 for that area. He married a Florence May Sowerby in 1913 aged 19. Apparently he left his wife at some point and disappeared. Any help in finding out where he went, did he re-marry, when and where he died etc would be a great help.

Best Regards

Hi,
I now know when my grandfather James Edgar Fletcher died, 1960 at age 50, I was told he was buried in Skelton cemetry, I do not know. Would it be possible for someone to find his grave and send me the details, possibly a photo. All I know is that he was born possibly Dec 1910/Jan 1911, he was 4 months old on the 1911 census. He died at home which was 72, High Street, Loftus, N. Yorkshire (Now Cleveland). I hope someone can help out with this problem of mine.
Many thanks

Trying t o trace anyone who can help with finding the relatives as far as you can of a George Fletcher born 1837 in North Yorkshire, England who moved to Coultervale Manitoba Canada with his wife (Isabella Dobson Hodgson born 1836 in North Yorkshire England). Their sons and daughters were William James, Hannah, George, Annie Elizabeth, Thomas, Matthew Dotchon, Jane Hicks, all Fletchers, all born in England.
