Hi

Thats the right marriage. I know they were in Birmingham in 1911. On Joseph's weding cert it states father as Joseph Rollason which helps!  :o

I do have a birth cert for a Joseph born to Sarah Meakin/Joseph Rollason but I've never been able to find a marriage for them?

Thanks

Travelling People / drakeley - fairground/coal merchants
« on: Thursday 30 December 10 11:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I was wondering if anyone had come across the Drakeley Family? I know they had a fairground in the early 1900's and later became coal merchants and there is still a distant part of my line that still run a fairground in the South.

I would like to find out when they got in to the fairground and if there are any gypsy connections as I was told there is when I was a child but unfortunaely there is no one around anymore that I can ask.

Thanks

Hi

I know you posted this in 2007 but I thought I'd contact you anyway.

My grandfather was Albert Rollason and his parents were Joseph Rollason and Leah Cooper. After that I get stuck and have been unable to find much about Jospeh except that his mother may have been called Sarah?

Thanks

England / sarah meakin
« on: Sunday 03 October 10 16:17 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to gather information for Sarah Meakin(b 1861 B'ham). she appears on the 1881 census at 4, house 26, court Hospital Street Birmingham living with Francis and Mary Riley. I can't find any record of her before 1881 or after.

Am I missing something that is stating me straight in the face? please help as if she is the right person I'm looking for it will open up a large brickwall!!!!!!!!!!!  :-\

thank you!!!!
