Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Looking for George Ludewig Haupt that may have come over from Prussia to London
« on: Monday 02 March 15 15:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, I think I have found him in the 1841 census. He is in Bethnal Green, which is also where he married in 1835:

And here's a link to the search I did on Findmypast:

When his son married in 1887 his father is shown as deceased.

You can share your tree if it is public, there's just no way of searching trees on the site yet. This blog tells you what to do:

Hello, I have the name Buck in my tree. My husband's 3xG Grandfather was William Clifton Buck, born in 1818 in Hoxton. He then moved to Canterbury where he married Charlotte Perkins and they had a daughter Emma Clifton Buck, who married Charles Pearce (husband's 2.G Grandfather). William is shown as a traveller on Emma's marriage certificate and in some census returns as a hawker.

DorsyB - I wonder if my William and your Thomas could be linked.

From the info I have it does sound like William is a Romany.

Antrim Completed Look up Requests / Re: Belfast marriage look-up please

Oh that is brilliant, thank you. I was looking for Hannah's maiden name. I did have a look at Family Search but it's very confusing!
Thanks so much everyone  :)

Antrim Completed Look up Requests / Belfast marriage look-up please
« on: Tuesday 08 March 11 09:19 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for the marriage of David Leo Collins to Hannah. It was roughly around 1902, give or take a few years. In the 1911 census in Ireland, he is shown as a plasterer and she was a weaver.
I've never posted a look-up here before so I hope I've done it right! Thank you!

Scotland / Re: Blyth family
« on: Monday 22 February 10 11:06 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you all for your replies.

Sancti - no, I don't know his mother's name.

Nel - thank you, that does sound like a possibility. As you say though, proving that's the right one is going to be hard.

Lynda - did your David have a son?

I am sure I'll get there in the end. Although frustrating, this is the best part of family history - the research and then proving it!

Scotland / Blyth family
« on: Monday 15 February 10 15:57 GMT (UK)  »
I have hit a real brickwall with my research. I have a George Blyth in my tree who was born c.1815 in Scotland. He married Elizabeth Simmonds in 1848 Southampton. In the 1851 census he is a mariner, living in Southampton. I have a copy of his marriage certificate and his father was called David and he was a carpenter. So, where on earth do I go from here? I'd love to find out exactly where George came from. I have been told that the fact they have no 'e' on their surname is quite unusual.

If anyone has any helpful pointers I'd be very grateful. Thank you!
