London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Clifford Davies m Bertha ? 1947
« on: Tuesday 06 March 07 15:38 GMT (UK)  »
Meliora,  thanks for the info!!  I'm going to send away for that certificate and see if that is the right marriage.

I do have another question tho - on ancestry.co.uk how do I search for marriages after 1915?  When I enter a person I know married in 1944 no marriages after 1915 will come up - it doesn't matter who I enter, it's always the same.  Am I doing something wrong?  Is there a secret to searching for later marriages?

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Clifford Davies m Bertha ? 1947
« on: Monday 05 March 07 20:10 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find marriage records for 1947 for London. 

My gran's brother, Clifford Davies (b. 1911 Glamorgan, Wales) married Bertha ? in 1947 in All Saint's Church.  He died in 1950 and she and her son subsequently moved to Australia where she passed away several years later of cancer.  No one in the family knows where their son (Peter) is now.  :-\

I'd like to find the marriage record in order to find her maiden name.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look online?

Thanks!
Karen

Thank you for explaining about your nursechildren Anna. I had been unsuccessful finding alternate marriages, but workhouse infants may be a possible explanation.  ;D

I appreciate all the help and direction given so far.

Here's to more success!!  My next hunt begins for John Inkpin in 1871.  He is on the 1861 census with Fanny and on the 1881 census with Fanny - so where was he during the 1871 census??   ;)

Thank you Nell - I'll definitely take your advice and get creative in my thinking.  I've been on the IOW fhs and am in the process of ordering some of the birth and marriage certificates.  I'll add looking for a New/Hunt, Inkpin/Hunt in the search.

Thanks again :)

At this point I have been unable to locate her anywhere until the 1881 census - no birth records, no baptismal records, nothing.  She also seems to disappear after the 1881 census, so I've no idea where to go from here.

Glamorganshire / Welsh Revivial 1904
« on: Friday 12 January 07 22:43 GMT (UK)  »
I'm wondering if anyone out there has been researching Annie Davies of Maesteg that was deeply involved in the Welsh Revival.

She was known as the Maesteg Songbird and worked very closely with the Rev. Evan Roberts.

In my family we have several Annie Davies' and family stories include one who sang "professionally".  Annie Davies would not be a direct ancestor of mine but I believe would have been a cousin to my Gran.

If there is anyone who has discovered this Annie in their family trees, I would be very interested in comparing families and see if I can link my family and hers.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Adopted Child - Hunt, Lucy Selina IOW
« on: Friday 12 January 07 22:37 GMT (UK)  »
In my search for my family on the Isle of Wight I have found that on the 1881 census there is a Lucy Selina Hunt listed as an adopted child of the family of "John Inkpin, 3 Milford Cottages, Newport Road, Godshill, Hampshire".

This is my g-g-g father and family.  I have at home a book of prayers that belonged to Lucy Selina, but I have had no luck tracing where she came from, how she came to be adopted, or any records relating to this.  I have also been unable to find her previous to the 1881 census and after the 1881 census.

Where is the best place to search next? On the Isle of Wight Family History site, they have bmd but so far nothing to search for adoption records.  This is the first adoption I've come across in my family research and it's stumping me.

Canada Lookup Requests Completed / Re: Klondike Gold Rush

Thanks for the link J.J. but I have found my Henry Herbert in the 1901 Wales census.  This is what is making finding him so difficult.  I can find him on the 1891 and 1901 UK census, so I'm trying other avenues to find him.  I've tried passenger lists on the link you sent previously and through Yukon Genealogy.

I have found a couple of H. Herbert's through Yukon Genealogy so now I'm trying to confirm those listings through placer mining certificates etc.  I've also sent out "feeler" letters to some Herberts in Wales that I believe are related.  Hopefully they are and will have more info for me.

J.J. after your last post I went back though everything else I had posted and realized that you are absolutely correct, I never did say who I was looking for.

My g-g-g grandfather is Henry Herbert, b. 1863 in Bristol, England.

After looking at the Yukon Genealogy I have a suspicion that he is the H. Herbert who left in 1902.  What I need to do now is find when he arrived in N. Anmerica.  The Nanaimo FHS only has lists for 1908 & 1909.  I believe I need to find lists for before then, around 1900.  Any suggestions?
