I’ve never been able to find a birth record for my Great Great Grandmother Ellen Hamilton, who said (on Censuses) that she was born in Deptford in 1845.

DNA testing by older family members lead me to believe that she might have been of Sephardic Jewish origins, (Spanish, Iberian, etc).

Was there a Synagogue in that part of London, in the 1840’s?

Catherine Kean, born Hulme, Manchester, Lancashire, daughter of Richard Kean and Mary Ann Young travelled to the USA in 1910 and married Herbert Johnson in Massachusetts in 1911:

Massachusetts Marriage Records 1840 - 1915 Watertown

June 28 Watertown Herbert Johnson, 22, lst marriage, Clerk,, b Lancs England f Richard, m Nancy Pickup

Catherine Kean, 26,,, lst marriage, Lady's Maid, b Lancs, England, f Richard, m Mary Ann Young.

I can’t see them after 1911, although they don’t seem to be on any further shipping lists.

Can anyone on here see any further trace of them please?

Cheers, Romilly.

I wonder if anyone on here might know whether any such records exist?

I’m looking for a Service Record for Richard Kean, born Hulme 1860.

His Attestation Papers are on Ancestry and FindMyPast, and show that he signed up, (for 6 years?) with The Manchester Regiment on the 17th November 1886. He was aged 22years and 10 months. Address 6 Harper Street, Manchester. Occupation: Painter.

Service Number: 2014.

Placed with the 3rd Battalion Manchester Regiment, Militia.

I’ve looked on The National Archives Site and also at Tameside Borough Council’s Site, but drawn a blank...

It might well be the case that no records still exist, but as I’m a novice at Army Records, I thought it was worth asking on here.

Cheers, Romilly.

I'm looking for a Marriage between Thomas Louis Newman and Susan Stevens in approx 1891 - 1894.

In 1891 Thomas Louis Newman is a Lodger with the Stevens family in Home Gardens,, Dartford, Kent.

At some stage he Married the landlord daughter Susan Stevens, who has a 3 year old son Arthur on the 1891 Census.

On the 1901 Census he's with Susan Newman in Home Gardens, Dartford.

However, on the 1911 he's with wife Frances Newman in Greenwich!

I can't find a Marriage for him with either wife!

Any help welcomed,
Romilly.
