Hello there,

I am hoping someone out there can I help me extend my knowledge of my Polish family back passed my Great Grandparents.

My Grandfather Piotr Golba was born 1925 in Czörtkow (now part of Ukraine) to Stanisław Golba and Katarzyna Jasiak.

I know very little info about these two apart from what my granddad was able to tell me.

GOLBA.

I do not know a date of birth of Stanisław or a marriage date for him and Katarzyna, although I know he died between 1924 and 1929 in Bartoszöwska (spelling may be wrong), and that he had a brother called Wincenty Golba 1900 - 1973, who's spouse was Anna Rubłowska, 1899-1969.

JASIAK

Katarzyna Jasiak was born 15 June 1888, possibly in Kielce. After her husband Stanisław died, she remarried Ludwik Wisła. She died in August of 1979, in Goleniow, Zachodniopomorskie, Poland.

I have no further info. I would like to find some records on these two if at all possible. If anyone can help me, please get in touch!

Hello everybody,

Has been a long time since I have posted on here but I thought I would give it another bash.

I only have a very distant connection to Devon and it is through my 3x Great Grandfather, William Kitto, whom I have very little info about. I'm hoping someone may be able to help me find some info on his Ancestry.

He was born, given hints from Census returns and some research into his birth from other websites, in 1802 in Devonport. I believe his parents may have been William Kitto and Mary Ann or Mary Tink.

He married Ann Slew on 3 May 1830 in Kennington, London.

I am afraid I have no more info on William Kitto than that. We have family legends that somewhere in the Kitto line we have Spanish heritage but I am doubtful of this as a reason why I cannot seem to find further info.

If anyone could help knock down this brick wall of mine I would be immensely grateful.

Kind wishes,

Keelan

My Great Grandmother Hannah Catherine Evans was born 1 August 1890 in Cwmlline Hamlet (sp?) to David Evans, a Slate Quarryman and Elizabeth Francis (Dau. of John Francis a Cobbler and Anne Richards - both of Cemmaes).

In 1911 I am very confused by the Info. Elizabeth is living in 4 Terrace, Cwmlline. She is the head of the Household, David having died in 1907. It says she had 14 children, 5 to have died before 1911 - yet i can only find 9 Children born. Also, the Census was written in Welsh so I don't understand how some of the other people in the house Relate to her.

My Great Gran Hannah meanwhile, is living in Nantmel in Radnorshire. She was apparently 25 and a year into her Marriage to 37 year old Richard Thomas, Hannah was listed as Catherine Thomas. Only, Hannah was 20 - living with Richard who was 47, a widower of 6 or 7 years. They were not married, that I can find anywhere. And Hannah was 6 Months pregnant with her first daughter Daisy. Was this common? To make up information to cover a lie?


If anyone could help me decipher this I'd be grateful, also if anyone knows whether birth/baptismal/marriage/death/burial records are available in the local parish church I would be interested to view them in person.

Elizabeth died 16 March 1940 in Soar Cottage in Cemmaes, I have been to Cemmaes once but wasn't able to find the Cottage.

Kind Regards,

Keelan

Hi Hibee,

I don't know which side he would have fought on. I only know he was a Soldier, and it is only a guess that he could have fought in the rebellion. I am guessing as he may have been of English decent that he fought for the English, but it seems he settled and died in Ireland after marrying Rose.

Then again, another possibility, the Spratt's had lived in Ireland for Generations, possibly since the time of Cromwell. I don't know :/
