I am going out that way next Monday. I can have a short stop at the Parish Church in Beckwith, very nice Anglican Church and cemetery and have a look for any Leech graves and stones.

There is a Henry Woolf marriage in 1911 Axbridge and also an Albert E Woolf 1912 Axbridge but neither to a Sharpe.  It may be that it was a second marriage for the female in which case she would have remarried using her previous married name.  However - children born to the second marriage will show under her birth (maiden) name

Thank you, I know a lot more here than I am putting on this board. I am just trying make contact with people.

The only Alan Kumm birth reg is 1909 in Marylebone London.  An Alan Edward Kumm b 1909 died 1988 in Worthing Sussex

Alan E Kumm married Ivy E Woolfe 1935 Sussex and they appear to have had only one child - female

The person you are asking about  married 1953 - see freebmd. www.freebmd.org.uk   You can use freebmd to search for Kumm births with that mothers maiden name

Yes I know all this and a bit more, thank you!

You can't mention living people on Rootschat. And we aren't allowed to look up living people either.

I apologize, did not wish to break rules or offend. I am just trying through this board and a few other to make contact.

London and Middlesex / Re: Jane (aka Elizabeth) Goodman (aka Richards) born Jane Spurr
« on: Friday 05 July 19 15:52 BST (UK)  »
Thank you, but I discounted that one and others between 1911 (where I know where she was) and 1953 when she would had been a 100. This lady in Islington is in 1911, as regretfully are the others. I have checked many them (both Richards and Goodman) from the Death register (BMDs) with 1911 census and discounted those in southern England and her origins of Nottingham and Leicestershire. I also did the math, discounted the reported age at death against the year of death to see if it came "close" =+/- 5 years to 1853 (yes I know they spun yarns regarding their ages.)

What i think (and maybe a Goodman descendant may know) is that in my late Father's (he died 1976) boyhood stories she looms large, along with a Grandfather Dick! Which given, shall we say, her full and varied life along with a significant search in Marriages (BMD) was probably common law relationship and she was using another name!  Grandfather Dick, I was told, fought at the Battle of Omdurman.

London and Middlesex / Jane (aka Elizabeth) Goodman (aka Richards) born Jane Spurr
« on: Friday 05 July 19 00:44 BST (UK)  »
I have ran out of search options in looking for my great-grandmother's death record.

Born 1853 Jane Spurr (Nottingham)
1861 with Mother Margaret Mary (nee Rowe) in Nottingham
1871 in interesting  circumstances in Lincoln (Anglican reform institution)
1881 Widowed as Jane Goodman in Leicester with two children John (died Hampshire 1953) and Charles (died Hackney 1951)
1882 Married to Henry Richards, my grandmother Eliza-Emma born 1883 Leicester (died Brighton 1959)
1891 she is living as Elizabeth Banfield (no marriage record) in Shoreditch (all her children are recorded under their real names, her details except name & status are correct) and looks to have been widowed in Leicester in 1886
1901 she is now Elizabeth Goodman living north of Bethnal Green (Mr Banfield is just a visitor)
1911 she is with her son's (Charles Goodman) family north of Bethnal Green and she is Jane Goodman and doing the family's housekeeping.
No obvious death record under Goodman or Richards (discounted one in Poplar and a number of others).

Are you a Goodman, do you know where/when and under what name she may had died ?

Cork / Re: Murray in Kilmurry and Macoom
« on: Sunday 28 January 18 14:42 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you, I will have another look at this.

When I took the 1817 baptism record for discussion to my Irish Research Group, we saw that "Jerh" name as "Jas" and the opinion was it was James. So if it is James you have opened a brickwall for me. The question I will have then is (and yes I know I have to answer it), who is James in Macroom and the others around Macroom, how or do they fit?

Many thanks again.
John

Cork / Murray in Kilmurry and Macoom
« on: Sunday 21 January 18 02:40 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for any information on a James Murray, who in 1819 looks to be married to a Julia Murphy and they are the parents of a Thomas Murray (1819-1863) at a Baptism in Kilmurry.

James looks to be still living in Macroom in Griffith evaluation in 1852.

I cannot find a marriage to Julia, nor a birth or death. Any information welcome.
