Immigrants & Emigrants - General / POW-Nottingham Camp
« on: Thursday 13 October 11 23:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Could anyone please help?

I don't know if there are any POW records held but if there was how would I find out about my Grandfather who was held in a camp in Nottingham.

I am still trying to find out information about him and his name, I have had information from another relative that he could have been an Italian Prisoner of war who was to marry my Grandmother, the wedding was booked and dresses were made.

I have contacted Nottingham Cathedral about the wedding between 1948-1950 but because it didn't take place for some reason the records would of been destroyed.

I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Many Thanks.

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Gargaro Family
« on: Thursday 13 October 11 23:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how I could trace back my 3rd Great Grandfather who came from Italy to England.

His Name was Francesco Gargaro and he settled in Derby, Derbyshire with his wife who i think might of been Maria who died in 1897 at the age of 40.

I would be grateful to hear of anyone's thoughts.

Many Thanks

Nottinghamshire / Re: Alan Frearson

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.  Alan G is correct and yes he defiantly died 1982 as my mother remembers because she could not attend his funeral due to being pregnant at the time. 

No he did not marry or did he have any children, he travelled all over the world to Spain and South Africa.  He ended his career as a Circus Proprietor due to an illness that later took his life.

I have not been able to find a death record for him but the facts are clear.

Many Thanks

Hi,

I was hoping somebody could help with any information relating to my Great Uncle, Alan Frearson who was born 1926 Nottingham.

He was known to of been a circus proprietor and spent his life travelling across the world with his circus before he died in Welshpool, Wales around 1980s.

I am more interested in his days during WW2 where he and his sister left Nottingham for Llandudno, Wales where they worked at the Grand Hotel. 

If anyone could help. any comments will be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help how i could find any documents with any information with regards to The Llandudno Hotel, Wales.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Greek-Cypriot 1950 Nottingham
« on: Friday 11 March 11 11:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I am looking for any information on a man who came from Cyprus.

I don't have a name for him but he left Nottingham to return home in 1951, he worked at a little restaurant in Notts but i don't know the name.  I would however be able to narrow it down with the little information i know.

Would anybody know about a business list for 1950 Nottingham?

I don't know much about Nottingham but have been told the Restaurant once stood near Notts Cathedral and there were several little restaurants close by and something about Albert Hall.(not sure what that means)

If anyone could help point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

Many Thanks
