« on: Thursday 09 March 23 11:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, can anyone decipher the following please - I'm not sure why the dates have 16/1 and 19/3 - nor do I understand the army shorthand!  Many thanks, Selby

US Lookup Requests / JOSEPH CAVE (JOSEPH BOND CAVE)
« on: Thursday 17 February 22 17:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I wonder if anyone can help me… I have a family member called Joseph Bond Cave (born 1817 in Bethnal Green) who emigrated to Detroit around 1861 with his wife Charlotte and children William, Mary Ann, Charlotte and Joseph Cave.

Would love any information about him, specifically what job he did, where he lived and when he died.

Many thanks, Selby

London and Middlesex / East London Hostel and Eventide Home - Greig House - Poplar
« on: Tuesday 09 November 21 15:10 GMT (UK)  »

Hello  :)

I've recently acquired a photograph taken at the Salvation Army Home for the Elderly (Greig House, 20 Garford Street, Poplar) sometime between 1947 and 1951.  I've written to the Salvation Army Archivist and they have a copy of the photograph on file but don't know who it is... Shot in the dark here - but does anyone recognise these people??

Many thanks, Selby

London and Middlesex / GRAY STREET, STEPNEY
« on: Sunday 07 November 21 13:42 GMT (UK)  »

Hello,

I have a family, in 1911, living at number one, Gray Street, Stepney - it was somewhere in the region of Commercial Road and Mile End.  I've searched and searched for any sign of it - nothing. 

Does anyone know where it was please?? 

Many thanks, Selby  :)

World War Two / Alfred SCHNEIDER - RAF
« on: Saturday 06 November 21 11:43 GMT (UK)  »

Hello  :)

I'm looking for an Alfred Harold Schneider who joined the RAF around 1941 - this could possibly be his Service Number:  1574608.

I don't have access to any records and would be interested to know if there was any information out there about him?

Many thanks, Selby

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Medal Recognation
« on: Wednesday 14 July 21 15:51 BST (UK)  »

Hello  :)

I've just received a photograph of my great grandmother and her family - in it, one of her daughters is wearing a medal?  I'm guessing the photograph was taken around 1912, the lady would have been about 25 years old?  So its not a school medal... 

Would anyone know what it might be?

Many thanks, Selby

Occupation Interests / Lithographic Printing Machine?
« on: Wednesday 14 July 21 15:43 BST (UK)  »

Hello  :)

I've just been sent a picture of two family members (I'm trying to work out who they are) sitting in front of a (lithographic?) printing machine. The family was involved in lithographic printing from around 1890, and I think this photograph is dated around 1900?

Does anyone know what the machine is please?

Many thanks, Selby

Graveyards and Gravestones / CLIGHT FAMILY
« on: Monday 05 July 21 17:13 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I'm researching a Jewish family named CLIGHT.  They lived in the Bethnal Green/Stepney area of London around 1900.  Lewis Clight died in Stepney in 1928, his wife Annie died in 1926.  They had a son Harry who died in Hackney in 1965.  I can't find any graves, anywhere...

Help! Please :)
