Hi Mark,
I can't tell you how excited I feel to hear from you! [I tried a lot of family trees - Timberlake]. I was meant to come to England with my G/parents as a kid, whilst Jessie was still alive. My Grandparents Mark meant the world to me, they were my supportive parents. My mother & father divorced & had different families. I have my G/fathers original birth certificate along with my G/mothers. There wedding certificate & your Grandfather was a witness to the marriage. you know there were a few secrets kept regarding the Timberlake's. I can hear like it was yesterday - Alf being mentioned & did your G/mother go by the name Gladys, although there was a Gladys on Connie's [G/mother] side. Nearly 3 years ago I was going to go to England, Scotland etc with friends - one thing stopped me, although wanting to see England I couldn't go without finding where Alfred John Timberlake, Jessie Elizabeth & baby Jessie Victoria were buried, even though Jessie Elizabeth Timberlake died in 1965 I couldn't find where they were. I could of kicked myself thousands of times hearing stories but never did I dream of asking where are the families. I know Alfred J. died young of diabetes. I knew that. I am 60 years old & have 6 grown children & 6 G/children, Harold & Connie were my kids G/parents also Mark.  My youngest son is called Mark. Not too long ago I read an article in an English magazine after emailing 100's of different Cemeteries, getting on Roots chat, Ancestry, being knocked back by some people with the name Timberlake [whom I'm sure was related to your Alfred & Harold]. Well in the magazine was the cemetery named Colchester, Essex. was mentioned, I tracked it down & it certainly looks like a lot of Timberlake's are there. I knew I couldn't go without what I call paying my respects. You would of loved Nanna & Granddad, I was 38 when they died within weeks of each other, if I need advice it's them I still turn to [what would they have advised me to do]. Granddad was a Compositor for a Newspaper & that's where I met my husband. Mark I hope you have fond memories of Alfred that you would like to share.   This is a wonderful New Years gift from you to me.....Ann x

Hi,     Have found my Timberlake's, after years of searching [ which became an obsession ], & gave up for a quite a while. Happened to see an article about a person finding a member of the family they had been searching for. So after 1000's of cemeteries / emails to UK. Typed in that cemetery & low & behold they are all their - generations. And have found Spain was a favourite holiday / living place. Have some surnames for this generation so will put out some feelers!  Surprise, Surprise.  :) ;)

Hello Jennifer,

Thank you,

 I do remember the Surname "Hammond." I have tried to search "Hammond" in Rochford area -
 No luck. Looked via Telephone website here in Melbourne, Australia.
It won't allow me to do this. Jennifer are you in U.K?
 Or maybe someone could look via a telephone book, with the area - [Rochford] & with surname "Hammond." Or maybe look via computer, if someone lives in U.K.
I'll keep trying for other sites, & if any Hammonds' are found - I will contact All

Thanking you so much

Ann

Hi Howard,

My name is Ann - have been searching "Timberlake" graves for years now - my g/parents were supportive parents for me! (through an adoption). My g/father being Harold William Timberlake born Hackney 3/2/1906. Dec. Australia.    I simply cannot find G/father's  -  father :- Alfred John Timberlake b: qtr 1, 11 Dec. 1879 [1d 832] - Dec. qtr 4, 13 Dec. 1913. [1b 472]. G/father's mother:- Jessie Elizabeth Timberlake nee Meares, b: 1879 Old Ford Hackney ? Poplar [1c 656]. Dec. qtr Sept. 1965 (86 years), Rochford Essex [4a 677]. I don't know Howard if the Timberlake's are related at all. But this became stressful as planned on going with friends to UK & find these Graves. I couldn't go in the end, became ill - & live in Australia. I've tried everything to find these graves with no luck, emailed Council Cemeteries you name it I've tried it. I came to the conclusion they might of been placed in a family plot under another relations surname. Harold's brothers & sisters - Jessie Victoria died at 2yrs, Alice Louisa, Alfred Sydney, William Thomas, Doris   ?, & Ethel Elizabeth all born Hackney. " Simply Can't Find Them."  I wonder along your search if you might of come across my side of Timberlake's, all I can say is I had the most wonderful, loving couple that I still love, cherish & miss every day of my life. I'll be 60 next year - I have more or less given up on ever finding these Graves.  Best of luck with your search, it's not an easy process [stressful]. It became an obsession with me. I haven't been on Roots for a long time.          Kindest Regards Ann

Hi all you terrific people,

Rosie 99, your info right,
 Daisy Petal, that's the address when & where Alfred & the family were living.

I got out my grandfather's original Apprenticeship Indenture [1921] & it's the same address -43 Oakfield Road Hackney.

 Carol 18383 & Jools I'll look those sites up.

 I'm quite sure Alfred died 13 Dec. 1913 Hackney.

 I have my grandfather's original birth certificate 1906 - born district of Hackney. So they were there for quite some time after Alfred died.

Would St. John's Parish have an existing connected Cemetery?

I can't thank you all enough,

Ann  x

Hi Nanny Jan,

I've got vol nos. page. nos. etc. even emailed family doing " Timberlake tree " - no reply, emailed local Govts for Cemetery/ies - for Hackney & Rochford - no reply.

The certificate you refer to is that different from a death certificate.

In Australia a death cert. only refers to the deceased medical reasons for there death nothing else.
not where they are going to be interred [buried/cremated].

When you are young you don't think of asking these sort of things - as you get older they mean all the difference sentimentally.

Thanks Nanny Jan, just for taking the time & effort.

Kind regards Ann  :)

Hi htimberlake,

My ggrandfather was Alfred John Timberlake b:1880 Camberwell, England d 1913 Hackney. I have left 2 emails on a Timberlake family tree [no reply]. emailed local Govt. Cemetery/ies for both & ggrandmother Jessie Elizabeth [nee Meares], b 1879 d 1965 [Rochford]. I live in Australia, I could kick myself for not asking my support family/grand parents for this information - it's not easy - I got onto roots chat & a person suggested view Ecclesiastical Parishes - I am applying for p/port but can't spend entire time going to every cemetery in U.K. I was told the Mormon religion has info on everyone - don't know if that's true. We were all Church of England. My grandfather [Harold William Timberlake] never said they were poor, probably upper middle class. I have there original National identity cards & the homes they lived in were & still are quite good I looked the addresses up on Maps - I just want to see & go where they have been. But we have to remember there was a war.
if I find anything h I'll pass it to you.........good luck Ann---------- :'(
