Hi Keith,

I do still have some Bennett information, including a photo of George and Elizabeth.

I will try and send you a personal message with my email address.

Kind regards

Mel

Hi

Am I right in assuming you are connected to the Bennett family then? My ex-husbands great grandmother was Ada Mary Bennett born 1893 in Willington, daughter of George Sidney Bennett and Elizabeth Hackett.

Australia / Re: Tracing Margaret Hindmarsh 1940's

Hi Sue,

Thank you for your advice on this one. We think she was born around 1925 as she was of similar age to my partner's grandfather.

I will see if he can remember anything else bearing in mind his memory is quite erratic at times now.

Kind regards,

Australia / Tracing Margaret HINDMARSH 1940's
« on: Wednesday 28 July 10 22:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am just starting to look at some family tree research for my partners 83 year old grandfather. He wants to find out more about Margaret Hindmarsh, a lady he met during his time in the merchant navy during the war in Australia.

He is really keen to find out what happened to her but I'm not sure if anyone out there can help. She apparently lived in a place called Woolloomooloo which I think is close to Sydney.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Mel

Hi Charlotte,

Thanks for your help, I have emailed the Repton historical society but they haven't replied to me. I might also try your other suggestion and pop into our local library to see if they can track down a copy as well.

Thanks

Derbyshire / The Freeing of Willington Toll Bridge 1898: Has anyone got a copy of the book?
« on: Wednesday 18 February 09 15:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I am in search of a booklet produced to commemorate the freeing of the Toll bridge between Willington and Repton in Derbyshire. The freeing took place in 1898 and the book was produced to commemorate the centenary.

My interest in this is that fact that my husband's great great Grandfather lived with his family at the Tollhouse at the time of the freeing and for many years after, in fact his great great grandmother lived there until the 1950's when the house had to be demolished after a vehicle hit the house.

The book contains lots of pictures of the freeing ceremony and we are trying to see if we can spot him. I have already tried local libraries but with no luck. Can anyone help please?

Thanks
Mel

Hi Crystal

Thanks for that, it does sound like we live close by. I'm in Burton and have lots of family tree connections in Fradley, Alrewas, Barton under Needwood, Dunstall, Kings Bromley, Rugeley and Burton so I've visited lots of churchyards over the past year.

Kind regards
Mel

Hi again,

They could well be in Fradley churchyard then, I also have relatives in there. If not, Alrewas may also be a possiblity for you. Anyway I don't mind looking at any of these for you. Let me know

Mel
