Hi,

Can anyone please tell me what the wording in the box in Column 8, Row 10 says?

I can read the bottom part "present at birth, 29 Henry St" but haven't a clue about the couple of lines above that.

Thank you,
Sarah

Hi All,

Would just like your opinions.

I have a relative who was married twice and had children both times.  I have never found a divorce certificate or marriage certificate for his 2nd marriage so it could have been bigamy as his first wife was not dead - would make her a bigamist and liar too as she remarried later on and I have the certificate! About 4 years ago I was contacted by a lady and we established that we share the same relative, this lady said she and her siblings thought there were skeletons in the family as the "elders" would not talk about things from the past.  I tactfully said I knew a lot but she might not like everything, long story short, she asked and didn't like it and I never heard from her again but that was her choice and I really don't mind.

My question, I am a member on another site (like most of us are) and had some hints and on looking at them this relative crops up again.  There was a link to a tree open to the public and there he with his first wife (that one I know was legal) and their children but no mention of the 2nd wife and children.

Would you see it as someone being helpful if contacted and told about the 2nd wife (possible illegal / bigamous marriage) and children or not want to know.  should I leave it alone ?  I know that this is not the same woman who contacted me before plus this individual lives in the USA whereas the other lady lived in the UK.

I would want to know but don't want to upset this person I have never had contact with.

Hi All,

I’m hoping someone can help, I have found my Great Aunt Bertha on the 1939 Register with her husband William A Bullen and their first 2 children.  However, Bertha’s surname has been crossed out  and the name Smith written above it and some notes made in the column to the left.  I have no idea what these notes may refer to and wonder if anyone knows or has an idea what they may be.  I've attached a copy of the register.

Bertha’s maiden name is Edwards and she was not married before William, at least, not to anyones’ knowledge.  She was born in 1891 in Kingston-upon-Thames and in the 1911 census she is single and still using the surname Edwards.  She married William Bullen in 1917.

All ideas welcome.

Hi,

Twice in one day and still to do with Charles Wilson and Sarah Jane, I'd be grateful if you would take a look at the attached and see if you can make out of the surname of the Next of Kin.  To me it looks as though it says "Sister" and then "Lucy Ratchet" ? or Lucy something.   Unfortunately, the quality is quite poor.

Thank you.

Not my Aunty Bert  (being very elusive) but if she is of interest to you then let me know here or PM me.
