London and Middlesex / Archival Passports.
« on: Monday 18 March 24 13:32 GMT (UK) »
Good morning everyone,
It has been a while, and I'm hoping that I may again get some information. I'm trying to find out if it is possible to get either all the information some one gave or a copy of their passport?
My G-Aunt (now deceased) born 1887 and passed away in 1960 in America, immigrated to America in 1912. She was born in Worcester, but must have held a passport as she traveled back and forth from America and England quite a few times before her death. She must initially have had a passport.
Is there a place to apply in London that may hold this archival information or even a copy of her English passport?
Thank you for all your help in the past.........best wishes.....22

Thank you, No, Bertram did not have a middle name as far as I know. He was awarded a medal tho' and this was presented to his wife at 48 Powis St, Liverpool. He is remembered at the Tower Hill Memorial.
Thank you for this information. Cinny22.

Lancashire / Bertram Jones.

Some time ago you helped me solve an age old mystery about my G-Uncle Bertram Jones. You found that he was a Mercantile Marine who perished after his ship, the S.S Thacia was torpedoed on the 27th of March 1917. This ship was laden with scrap iron and steel. It sank very quickly.
He was only 23yrs of age.
I have tracked down SOME of his descendants, but they do not have any pictures of him, in fact I gave them a lot more information than they gave me.........this was due to your great research and knowledge.
I know he died very young, but not before he married in 1916.
As all images of him seem to have gone astray, I'm wondering if by some chance, being a Mercantile Marine, would he be bound by law, to have a "passport"?
If so, would a copy be on file........"somewhere". I would dearly love to see his image.
Thank you for all your past help. Best wishes to all, Cinny22

Hi,
Joseph Fletcher in the 1871 Census of Staffs was the son of John and Margaret Fletcher b. 1828 in Wellington, Salop. He was on the Census with his wife Sarah, who states also that she is from Wellington.............i wish this was true, as i have "trawled" the internet today to find her and her marriage, but of course your guessed it.............no luck, but i did find a couple that look interesting, but of course there is always "something" that does not fit well. Firstly if they were both from Wellington, why the marriage in Derbyshire, or Staffordshire?
Joseph Fletcher m. Sarah Woodhead, 13th Oct 1869.....Whitfield Derbyshire. Joseph was 39 and Sarah 40.
Then Joseph Fletcher to Sarah Farmer in Wolverhampton, Staff.
These marriages were just before the Census, i was hoping for a younger marriage and then some children. The first one that i was able to "sight" stated that his father was John Fletcher........Deceased, BUT John's occupation was Paper Maker.
Looking back on all the baptisms, he was just a "laborer".............
I really don't know, perhaps i should just give up and be thankful for all that you have been able to unravel for me..........i am truly thankful...........but as you know, you always want more.
My best to you.

Thank you Rosie99 for your last couple of messages...........yes we covered a bit of ground yesterday which was really helpful.
Today i took the time in sorting out all the information and made up a "tree" on Ancestry using all the information that we found and collected..............it does look impressive and much more data then i have had previously.
I have made a separate tree on Ancestry, as i'm "frighted" that it could all be wrong and end up disappointed by having to take it all off. BUT, i'm very, very confidant that we are on the right track this time.
In by placing this "tree" on Ancesrty it has connected with other members of this supposed family and i'm waiting to hear back from two...........but unfortunately, you know what that is like!!!
Unfortunately too, they have not done a lot of research, and have only followed their direct lines of family, thus not researching the family completely and finding other siblings.
As stated previously i did mange to find John Fletcher b. 1835 Rodington at his Uncle and Aunt's home in the 1841 Census............a look around today, still can't find him after that.
It's amazing that "people" can just fall completely out of sight.
I guess you have looked at the other bits and bobs we came across yesterday. By my reckoning, we are dealing now with three brothers, Samuel, Joseph and John Fletcher.
Rosie99 today i spent quite a bit of time TRYING to see if by chance i could find the parents of this trio.............It is really difficult to sort out all the parents. I would find one hopeful, and then not find the other two and vice a versa.
I am ever hopeful tho, and while there is a spare minute to research, i'll be doing it.
Thanks once again for all your help.

jonw65, just letting you know also that yesterday i THINK I have found John Fletcher b. 1835, Rodington, Salop.
I believe this is him with his Aunt and Uncle Joseph and Sarah Humphreys in the 1841 Census. He is only 6yrs old. After this 1841 Census............he's gone
