« on: Wednesday 10 October 07 20:02 BST (UK)  »
I am hunting a few missing Lowes and would really appreciate any help as I have lost all of them after the 1881 census when they were living in Chatteris.

John Lowe born Chatteris born c1843
Susannah Lowe born Linton born c1841
Mary Ann Lowe born Linton born c1870
William Lowe born Chatteris born c1875
Henrietta Lowe born Chatteris born c1879

I would appreciate any help finding where they went
Thanks

Cambridgeshire / Re: Cottage, Unwin Families

Hi Kerryn,

You can get more dates if you apply for the certificate. The dates I found from the Linton Parish Records but there is no sign of John or on Camdex (which is found through www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk) - you can apply for the certificates directly from them.

Linton is in Cambridgeshire and it borders Essex. Hadstock is in Essex and is a neighbouring village, many villagers moved between the two and therefore there could be more details information there. I believe Harriet was born in Hadstock.

Regards

Cambridgeshire / Re: Cottage, Unwin Families

Hi

The parish records show Samuel George being baptised in 1845 but nothing for Elizabeth. John and Harriet married in 1844 and the witnesses were Richard Morley and Martha Unwin.

The Cottage family can be traced back further - Harriet was daughter of James - but there are very few Unwin entries in the Parish Records - John was son of Samuel - on CAMDEX it can be seen that both Samuel and Elizabeth's births are just included as male Unwin 1845 and female Unwin 1847. A male Unwin was also registered as a death in 1844 aged 0.

Harriet Unwin was buried in 1861 aged 46 but nothing for John?

Best wishes

Thanks for the information. I presume I will now have to go to the National Archives to see if they have anymore information.

Best wishes

Thank you so much for the response, I did check all the BMD's twice and found no reference. I know he moved from the house he was living in, in 1920 but nothing more.

I will attempt to find someone with access to those books - as his middle name is also a surname it will need checking under Fuller Biggs and Fuller Chapman. He was also on the electoral roll as Briggs.

Thanks again

Ireland / Possible Missing Man - RIC 1920's
« on: Tuesday 01 August 06 19:38 BST (UK)  »
I am searching for a Fuller Biggs who disappeared in the 1920's - he originally came from Linton in Cambridgeshire and married a Mary Ann Payling in Doncaster in 1913. He served in WW1 and then lost contact with his family.

The story that was passed down through the family was that he went to Ireland and disappeared but not much else was known. He was a class Z reservist on his release from WW1, so there is a chance he then joined the Royal Irish Constabulary. I have looked at the list on Ancestry and there does not seem to be a Fuller listed – he  may have joined under an assumed name and then been killed?

I have searched 50 years of Death records and can not find any record of his death. His brother did try to find him in the 1930’s to no avail.

I would appreciate any assistance on this

regards

Yes I am talking about the same one - thanks for the info. I am hoping to get to the National Archives to search for any clues.

I know he is probably the only person with this name so thankfully that narrows it down

Nottinghamshire / Biggs - Denaby,Maltby,Retford,Worksop
« on: Tuesday 25 July 06 18:45 BST (UK)  »
I am clutching at straws but I just wondered if anyone had any monumental inscriptions or burials for a FULLER BIGGS or any information!

I am desperately trying to find out where he ended up. He moved from Cambridgeshire to Nottinghamshire/Doncaster about 1910. I have addresses for him in Maltby, I also know he was in Retford.

In 1913 he married a Mary Ann PAYLING in Denaby, Doncaster and subsequently served in WW1. Mary Ann was originally from Worksop and Fuller was working as a coalminer.

After WW1, his whereabouts are unknown  - his brother did try to find him in the 1930’s but did not succeed – so 75 years later I am trying again.
