US Lookup Requests / Re: Swallow family
« on: Wednesday 10 October 07 08:16 BST (UK) »
Wow, thank you everyone, I am a bit overwhelmed. I am not sure about Walter Newcome Swallow, he might be a son of my Walter. They were very unimaginative. But I am fairly sure that that is Walter and Frank, Indi, but is Greenwich far from New York. It sounds it. That Walter getting married in 1932, that could be him if his first wife died. No sign of Julia? I wonder if she moved to Greenwich too. She was the baby of the family, so I wonder if the boys looked after her.
Again, thank you so much for your help. I will see what I can follow up on.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1871 lookup request HOLBORN please
« on: Tuesday 09 October 07 08:47 BST (UK) »
Sandra,
I am wondering if your Guys and my Guys are related. I have an Edward Guy born 1869 (not yours I know, but maybe a relly) in the 1871 census, along with my Frederick William (born 1864 -- he was my g grandfather), living with parents William Henry (b 1838) and Emma (nee Limbrick, b 1836. They were at 33 Frederick Street, Middlesex. Not too sure where that is, but they certainly lived around Holborn over the years.

US Lookup Requests / Swallow family
« on: Tuesday 09 October 07 08:35 BST (UK) »
My grandfather's aunt, Julia Swallow (1892-) went to the US, arriving on the St Louis on 20 September 1913 from Southampton. We think she lived in New York, she gave her destination as W.A.Swallow of 1274 Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn. She had a brother Walter (1881- ) and a Walter Swallow arrived at Ellis Island on the Arabic from Liverpool on 16 December 1907 with his wife. Another brother, Frank (1888- ) moved to New York in 1912. Then they all seemed to disappear. Julie visited her nephew (my grandfather) up until 1952. I assume she married, but don't know how to find a marriage in New York. I tried writing to all the Swallows in the current New York phonebook, but no replies. Any assistance or direction gratefully received.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: burial index lookup please
« on: Sunday 23 September 07 04:15 BST (UK) »
Hello Harold,
yes, we have been in contact before. I seem to have hit a stalemate. I am hoping to get to England next year, but it may be quite late in the year. In the meantime I am still looking when I have an opportunity, but it is very frustrating. I feel like I don't even know how or where to look sometimes. I had even forgotten this reference to Sarah E Guy in the burial index. I might try posting it again, to see if someone can help.
Hope life is going well for you

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / burial index lookup please
« on: Monday 09 April 07 10:08 BST (UK) »
There is a Sarah E Guy in the death index for September quarter of 1915 (St Giles 1b 524). She is the right age for my great grandmother (59) and there is no clear evidence of her death otherwise. Great Grandfather took another wife about 1903, but there is no record of their marriage. Would the burial index tell me any more details about her, and where she is buried (Great grandfather buried with second wife in Brompton cemetery)? She lived in the Islington-Holborn area when married, so the place is about right. Could someone look up the Burial index for me please and let me know if there is anything useful?

Europe / Catherine Probert from India
« on: Saturday 23 September 06 07:57 BST (UK) »
My great grandmother, Catherine Margaret Probert, was born in 1883 on a boat going to India. Her father was a sailor, William Probert, and her mother died giving birth to Catherine. This is the family story, anyway, so far not supported by bits of paper. Little Catherine supposedly continued on to India, and at some time returned to England, where she does not seem to have married husband number 1, but produced a bevy of children from about 1907 on in the Herts/Cambridge/Essex area. The woman seems to have been very nervous of paperwork, but was a good catholic woman, although requests have met with mixed results
thanks for any clues

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / more information please Guy/Trigg 1916
« on: Wednesday 12 July 06 07:11 BST (UK) »
I am looking for the marriage of my grandfather, Arthur Ernest Guy. I don't know the name of the lady he married (she wasnt my grandmother) but the family story goes that he abandoned a wife and 2 sons in Gloucestershire and lived with my grandmother. He was born in 1891 in London, father Frederick Guy, mother Sarah Ellen (nee Rouse). The marriage I have found was to Priscilla P Trigg, Gloucester 6a 677. Can I find out his father's name without getting the certificate (already have certificates for the wrong Arthur Guy), and can I tell if there were 2 sons without trawling through the birth indexes, especially as i dont know names.
thanks
Diane
thanks
