New Zealand Completed Requests / James William KENDALL Marriage & Children
« on: Sunday 07 January 18 10:03 GMT (UK)  »
I am hoping someone might be able to have a look for a marriage - it should be in 1881

Between
James William KENDALL, born Aug 1854 from either Shoreditch, Middlesex, England or Dorking, Surrey, England, Father: James William KENDALL, Upholsterer (aka William or William James)
And
Mary (surname unknown) born approx. 1864 from Adelaide, S Australia

James William KENDALL was first married to Ruth Elizabeth STONEMAN on 5 Aug 1876 at Masterton. Ruth was gone back to Jersey, Channel Islands by 1881 census and she stated in 1911 census that she had 3 children.
I have the birth of first son, Julius William KENDALL 4 July 1877 at Masterton and I understand that Maud Elizabeth KENDALL, born 18 Dec 1875 in Wellington (before her parents married) was called Elizabeth on her birth certificate but she later goes by Maud

Thank you.

Australia / James William Kendall of Shoreditch, Hoxton, London England
« on: Wednesday 03 January 18 12:03 GMT (UK)  »
My Gr-Gr-Grandfather, James William Kendall, traveled from London to Wellington in 1874.  While there he had 2 children and married their mother between the 2 births.  The Mother, Ruth (Stoneman) Kendall turned up in Jersey, Channel Islands by 1881 census and stated her status as married for the rest of her life although husband, James William, was never seen again until he turned up in the 1901 census: Chertsey, Surrey

I cannot find a marriage in England and wondered if anyone might be able to find one in Adelaide or elsewhere in Australia?  I don't know either, if he ever divorced his first wife, Ruth Stoneman Kendall.

World War Two / Help wanted with the abreviations on Medal Description
« on: Tuesday 24 October 17 17:11 BST (UK)  »
After receiving my Father's Army records I discovered that he had a medal.  Although I know it is 1939/45 F&G Star I don't know the significance of the additional abreviations.  I have attached a scan in case it would help anyone to help
Thank you. Karen

I was told that I would need my Father's records and his Army number to obtain his war diaries.  I have now obtained them and I am not having any luck.  I wonder if there is a specific way to go about the search and can it be done online?

His name-Alan Frederick Davies; Army number-14514304; Rank-Trooper Private (TPR); Unit-58T Regiment RAC-3rd Royal Tank Regiment-Westminster Dragoons; Tank-Sherman Crab Flail Tank; Served-England: Jun/1943 to Jul/1944 and France, Belgium, Holland, Germany: Jul/1944 to Demobilisation (11/10/1945)

He was sent into Germany as part of a small group of snipers intended to take on German Officers who were in retreat and resisting British, American and Russian soldiers advancing on them. It is this operation that I am hoping to find.

I would appreciate it if anyone is able to help in any way. Regards, Karen

World War Two / War Diaries
« on: Sunday 01 June 14 10:21 BST (UK)  »
I am currently waiting for my father's WWII service record but I have recently heard that it will not give me any details about where he fought etc.  Can anyone tell me how to obtain the war diaries of his regiment once I know his regiment?  I currently only know that he was on a British Mine Sweeper Tank in Europe and that he was still in Germany in 1946.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Andrew & Priscilla STANLEY - 1841 Census
« on: Sunday 16 January 11 12:17 GMT (UK)  »
I have found a Priscilla STANLEY, who was a widow born in Stratford Essex with 4 children, all born in Bishopsgate, in the 1851 census.  I am hoping that someone might be able to find her and her family in the 1841 census probably in Bishopsgate - I believe that her husband was Andrew William STANLEY who died in 1847 and so should be with her in 1841. 
Thank you to anyone who might be able to help with any information about this family.

John 1829
Sarah Harriet 1831

Thank you in advance.
