Warwickshire / Harry winter and Mary Woodhall

« on: Thursday 26 July 18 12:47 BST (UK) »

Hello All
I wonder if some kind soul can take a look at the above couple.
They married in 1910 at Aston

Harry I can find on two documents giving a birth place of 1889 Birmingham and another 5.10.1882 .
I can see Mary after at lot of searching on earlier censuses but no sign of Harry .There seems to be no death ,no electoral records just the marriage in 1910,1911 census and 1939 index.
I really want to see his parents without buying the marriage cert.

There are two Harry's I can see in Birmingham before that one marries a Lucy Roberts and is born in Newcastle in 1882 living with a Isaac and Jane Swain or Vaughan depending on which census I look at.
The other born 1889 is son of Harry and Charlotte but seems to marry Sarah Jane Palmer in 1913 .I've seen the church copy.
Anyway got any brain waves?

« on: Saturday 26 May 18 11:27 BST (UK) »

Hi
I'm a different person but if you are at the Archives at Shrewsbury can I ask for a look up of the Hearth tax for Much Wenlock.
I just want to know if there are any Parsons in the parish.
I know there is a print of each parish in a folder on the shelves but I'm not there to take a look.
Any help appreciated.

Lancashire / Looking for Uncle Bill

« on: Monday 30 April 18 11:14 BST (UK) »

Hi
Someone has asked me to look for their Uncle Bill Davis .
Difficult name and I'm not having a lot of luck.
William Davis was born Sep qtr 1921 in Salford s of John Davis and Jane Conway .
By 1939 his dad is dead and his mother is living with Albert Jones her new husband.
There are several entries blacked out and William could be one.
He was a pilot in World War 2 so may already have signed up.
He had two children .One a son went on to be a teacher in Cyprus.
He died sometime after 1971.

That's all she knows.Any ideas?

Monmouthshire / A Nativity Conundrum

« on: Friday 01 December 17 13:53 GMT (UK) »

Hello rootchatters
Perhaps one of you can help me with this little problem.
I have a Walter Barney Seale born in Weobley Herefordshire Sep 1879.
His mother is given as Williams and he appears with parents John Weale Seale and Rachel Williams married Hereford Mar 1865 on the censuses .
In 1911 he is in Tredegar with his 'wife' Maud nee James.
They have 4 children in Tredegar from 1911-1920 but never marry.

Walter's war record has the birth dates of the children and Maud crossed through as next of kin.
Added is mother Mrs Margaret Walker ,39 Albert st ,Aberdare.
When he leaves the country for Canada in 1922 again next of kin Mrs Walker now of Albert Inn Aberdare.
On his marriage in 1926 mother is again Rachel Williams.

So who is Mrs Margaret Walker?

Rachel is widow at Tredegar on the 1901 and then disappears.She was born Mar 1841 Hay registration of Llanbedr/Llanstephen Radnorshire .Parents seem to be William Williams and Elizabeth Haynes.

Any one fancy a go at Who is she?
