Hi,

If anyone has any connection to Alice Howard of Peasenhall, who married R Bone, please let me know, as I have ( a very few ) photos and some bits and pieces that may be of interest. Thanks

The Common Room / Re: photograph of boys of oundle school

« on: Friday 11 July 08 23:14 BST (UK) »

Hi Paulene

My father in law was born in 1922 and so by my reckoning he would have been 15/16 at the time of the photo. We also have a nice photo of one Clement M Spurling in a party of ladies dated 27th July 1936 (apparently he was the music master at Oundle). Please let me know if your friends are interested....we are very happy to let the photo go to a good home!!

Thank you also for letting me know Oundle has a museum... I will contact them if no one else wants the photo....
Kind regards
Sadie

The Common Room / photograph of boys of oundle school

I am not sure where to post this.

In clearing out my late father-in-law's belongings we have come across a photograph of Oundle School where he was a pupil. The photograph is dated 1937 - it is one of those very wide ones with everyone on it. If anyone is interested then please let me know.

Hi there

just a word of caution...you have to provide your e-mail and address to leave a message on the family quest board (something I have learned to regret doing!) as it is then open to anyone to view.... be prepared to be spammed!

Cheers

World War One / Re: 8th service Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment (pioneers)

« on: Sunday 09 March 08 22:49 GMT (UK) »

thank you very much for your interest and further information. The links are very helpful and I hadn't seen them before.I am hoping my Dad might be able to come up with something else to narrow it down.. unfortunately, he didn't really see that much of his grandfather, his grandmother having died in childbirth.

Thanks again for the time and trouble to reply..it really is appreciated!

World War One / 8th service Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment (pioneers)

Hi,

My great grandfather was in the Pioneer corps during the Great War. Living near Chichester, I assume he would have been in the above. He was definitely in France, and in the trenches (on burial duties I believe). He survived, but never ever spoke of his experiences (not surprisingly really). How could i go about finding out more about his time in the army please? I think he was called Albert Arthur White, (definitely Albert and White not sure about the Arthur!)
Sorry if this is a really "noddy" question....
Many thanks as ever for any help!

Durham / Re: deaths during second world war II

Thanks Stan. I thought they would have to be, it is just strange that I haven't found any marriages for any of the three boys.

Cheers and regards Sadietoo

Durham / deaths during second world war II

« on: Wednesday 21 March 07 23:48 GMT (UK) »

Please forgive my ignorance. If someone died during the war (in active service or as a civilian) would the death be registered on the BMD?? I am trying to follow up my Whitesmith lead, Great Aunt May (nee smith) had nine children including three boys None seems to have married, I have a possible death for one in 1984, but have tracked the others through from birth to 1966(so far) and have not turned up any possible death certificates, and I am just wondering if I should be looking elsewhere.

As ever your help greatly appreciated.

Durham / Help! Smiths have become Whitesmiths, but no nearer

« on: Monday 12 March 07 22:48 GMT (UK) »

Does anyone out there have any connection to the Whitesmith family of Gateshead. It seems my May Smith married a Whitesmith 1919 ( marriage certificate to confirm currently awaited), to date I have identified the following possible children...Henrietta R M, oct quarter 1922, Robert H, Jan quarter 1925, Ronald J (Jan quarter 1927) If I am right May is my great aunt..... any takers? it seems the name is fairly unusual ( well in comparison to the Robsons Smiths and Charltons I have been wading through lately)...

Any help very greatly appreciated - all lines of research leading to brick walls at the moment!!
