Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Butler family lookup please
« on: Tuesday 03 August 21 21:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I’m hoping for some help in locating the family of Henry Butler born abt 1845 in Birmingham. He married Mary Ann Farley in 1874 in Birmingham, they had 5 children.
I haven’t been able to find this family pre the 1881 census, which is where I located the children’s names. Henry gives Joseph Butler, Labourer as his father but I haven’t been able to locate him or a birth for Henry. There are 3 possibilities but I’d like to narrow it down before I start paying for certificates. Hence why I was hoping to find them in a census before 1881.
Hopefully someone can help!
Many thanks :)

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Bills Family
« on: Monday 02 August 21 07:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I’m trying to locate the birth and parents of James Bills (Abt 1855) according to the censuses from 1891 onwards he was born in Tipton. He married Harriet Daniels and they had 3 children. I haven’t managed to find them pre 1881 nor have I found his parents. On one census there is a Phoebe Cook listed as his mother but I haven’t been able to find a marriage that matches. I’ve worked out their children so don’t need help there.
Many thanks!

The Common Room / Help with BMD of ancestors parents
« on: Saturday 13 March 21 20:05 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I’m stuck trying to work out the parents of an ancestor, I have managed to find out quite a bit about their daughter a Joan Wallis born 1914 in Camberwell but I am coming up short trying to find information on her parents John Wallis an accountants clerk and Emily Watson, finding their marriage has also been troublesome.
The story goes, Joan was unofficially adopted by one of my family members when her parents left to go overseas. When Joan was born they lived on Elfindale Rd, Camberwell, London.

Any help would be gratefully received

World War One / Medal Card WW1
« on: Sunday 11 October 20 19:37 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I’m trying to work out which medals F.Butler would have received, his was the 13th Canadian Regiment. I know he received the DCM and the bar as well as the Victory Cross but I can’t find whether he received the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.

Is that something they are automatically given?

Thanks in advance

Europe / Research help: Belgium 1936
« on: Friday 02 October 20 18:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi

My ancestor went to school in Belgium at the age of 12 in 1936. She returned in 1939 to train as a nurse. I was just wondering why she would have been sent there. Her brother and her were sent to England from Canada in 1936, her brother remained in England were he was educated. Would she have gone to finishing school there?
I can’t work out why she didn’t remain with her brother.
She stayed in a small village called Londerzeel. Any help or ideas would be great fully received!
Thanks!

Sussex Lookup Requests / Shoreham-by-Sea school
« on: Monday 09 July 18 11:15 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know anything about a school called St Monica? I have located reference to it on the 1939 register and on the Shoreham-by-sea directories. It may have been a prep school, it was situated on Shoreham Beach but so far I haven’t been able to locate any of its records.

Thanks in advance
Vicky

Hi

I have found my ancestors on a passenger list and I'm having trouble reading the name of the school that's recorded as their proposed address, also if anyone could help to identify if the destination is in Shoreham, Kent or Shoreham-on-sea in West Sussex, I would be very grateful

thanks
