Pembrokeshire Lookup Requests / Pembroke Lookup
« on: Friday 12 February 10 19:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,
I wondered if anyone could lookup a death for me?  My Great Grandmother died in Cosheston, Pembroke from about 1947 to 1952.  I have searched the indexes and can't find it at all, and so I'm completely stumped.

Evaline Lockwood, Nee Fawcett born 1878 in Leeds and married George Bertie in 1901.  George Bertie died in 1946 and I know Evaline died after him.  They lived in Cosheston at the time of their deaths.

Many thanks for any help, anyone can let me have  ::)

World War One / David Allan
« on: Monday 11 January 10 19:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get more information on my GGF David Allan.  He was born in Glasgow 1888, married to Helen Dunlop in 1906 and had two boys, my GF Thomas Henry and David who died in WW2 and served in The Highland Light Infantry (City of Glasgow Regt)

My GGF died in WW1 but there are a couple of David Allan's that enlisted and that were born in Glasgow and I hope to find more information out if I can pinpoint which is correct.

I have looked on Military Genealogy, Ancestry and CWGC and on the regiment web pages.  Any help anyone can give me would be appreciated  :-*

David Allan regiment number 12395  d 11/04/1918 THe Kings own Scottish Borderers
David Allan regiment number 240621 d 13/04/1918 The Highland Light Infantry

Hi everyone,
 
I'm trying to get more information on my GGF David Allan and I am hoping his will is at NAS.  He was born in Glasgow 1888, married to Helen Dunlop in 1906 and had two boys, my GF Thomas Henry and David who died in WW2.

My GGF died in WW1 but there are a few David Allan's that enlisted and that were born in Scotland, so if someone could take a look at a couple of wills in NAS, then this may narrow it down.  (I live in Somerset :-\)

The first reference is SC70/8/141/9 regiment number 2869 and the second reference I have is SC70/8/696/16 regiment number 650278.

I have a few more regiment numbers, but I'm hitting a brick wall trying to confirm which is my David Allan;  12395; 240621; 551093, so if anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful. :)

Hertfordshire / Great Hormead - BRIERLY
« on: Wednesday 27 May 09 19:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I'm new to this, so I hope this is correct!!

I'm desperate for help in tracing info on my Great Aunt.  Born Evaline May Lockwood she married a Mr Brierly.  I cannot find where or when.  She published one book "A Story by Patch".  She then appears on a passenger list in 1959 and is a Company Director, living at "Ships Timbers, Hall Lane, Great Hormead, Buntingford".  I have found her in the telephone book up to 1961 and then nothing.  I cannot find anything for her marriage or death!!  I also do not know who her husband was, although my Mum believes he investigated fires for an insurance company.  Companies House cannot look up directors unless they have a company name.  I am going to visit Great Hormead next month, but does anyone have any ideas on where else I can look? Thank you very much for reading this.  ::)
