Hi,

Thanks for all that, there is some very interesting information which is much appreciated! I knew a few bits of this but not the details and I suspected that they might be seeing George Stanley Jenkin at some point. I don't suppose you found anything more about Nellie's husband and Elena's brother: James Rowe? I am curious to know when and where he was born if possible and also a date of marriage in 1932 for him and Nellie, but searching Mexican records doesn't seem to be straight forward!

Thanks again, there is some very helpful stuff there.

Hi,

I have recently started looking up an interesting family thread regarding my Great-Great-Great-Aunt, who emigrated from the UK to Mexico. She seems to have left the UK on the Rio Panuco in 1932 with a friend (and I think she married her friends brother out there). At some point, I understand she returned to the UK, however as I only hold a findmypast subscription, I cannot view the incoming passenger lists to the UK. Please could a kind Ancestry user help me to put this puzzle together and send me an image of the return voyage passenger list (assuming it can be found).

Her name is Nellie Rowe (Née Jenkin) and I imagine she would have been coming back between 1932 and 1985 (sorry if that's too big a time scale). She was born in 1891, but I'm not sure what her nationality would be listed as i.e. Mexican/British due to her unknown time spent out there.

If possible - I would also be interested in her friends return voyage who went by the name of Elena Welsh (Née Rowe) and was born in 1896. I'm sure some combination of search criteria will find something.

I would be very grateful to anyone that can help me as I am otherwise making good progress on this thread!

Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry to hear of your loss; I don't know a lot about conducting research first hand in Germany as most of the information I already have was collected by my father, however as a direct descendant, you should be able to order your fathers birth certificate which will give you this information. I would start by finding the local registry office (standesamt) for Darmstadt and sending them the information and requesting a copy. They tend to cost about 10 euros, and they will require you to send a document e.g. your birth certificate proving your relation to him. This is the only thing I can really think of, and I'm not sure what sort of time frame you would be looking at to have this done either. You may want to try posting this as a thread in its own right on here so that someone with a little more knowledge in the field can help!

Hi,


Would someone mind telling me the date of death and if possible who the executor was for: Moses Kendall who died in 1911? He is the first on the list when searching with those two values and he died in Lincolnshire.

Thanks!

Henning

Do not ask for look-ups from commercial sources. 
Most commercial sources have strict 'Terms of Use', which forbid publishing their data elsewhere, so asking for such look-ups is also asking people to ignore the 'Terms of Use'.

I recently found a photo album that belonged to my Great-Grandmother and inside was this photograph of my 3xGreat-Grandmother. I have a couple of her already from 1891 and 1900, but she is clearly a bit older here than in the other ones. Bearing in mind until recently I wasn't able to find any record of her after 1900, I am curious to know when this could have been taken as it may help me to narrow down my research possibilities with regards to finding information after this time.

I would also be interested to have suggestions on her age at the time this was taken if possible?

Thanks!

Henning
