Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have a connection to Edward Bradshaw and Mary Ann Griffen who married 1851 in Clapham, Surrey?  Edward's father was John Bradshaw (Stoker) and Mary Ann's father was James Griffin (Lighterman).  Would like to know more about the Bradshaws and Griffins and about their ancestors.  Edward and Mary Ann are my 3xgreat grandparents.

Hello,

I'm looking for more information about my grandfather Andrew John Poolman.  He served in the Boer War, in India and in WW1.  His brother Herbert was killed at Mt Kemmel in WW1 and my grandfather was injured there.  There was quite a large mention of my grandfather in the Wiltshire Gazette on 13th July 1916 for gallantry on the battlefield.  I was hoping that I may be able to get hold of a copy of the original page on which the story is written.  Maybe someone can tell me if the newspaper is still in existence or if there is an archives of such material?  From what I can make out (the copy that I have is in very bad condition) he was presented with the Order of the Cross of St. George (Russian) for bravery and endurance on the battlefield in Flanders.  Can anyone explain to me what the Cross of St. George (Russian) means exactly?  The presentation ceremony took place ath the Devizes Depot in Wiltshire.

Many thanks from Mozzie

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently researching my cornish roots and would like contact with anyone researching the above names.   Benjamin Hutchens b.1840 in St. Buryan.  His parents were John Hutchens b.1784 in St. Buryan and Elizabeth Mann b.1811 in St. Buryan.  His grandparents on his father's side were William Hutchens b.1754 in St. Buryan and Ann Berryman.  His grandparents on his mother's side were John Mann and Jane Oliver.  Benjamin married Elizabeth Roscrow in Clare South Australia in 1868 and they had at least 8 children - Rosetta, Junie, Clementina, Elizabeth, Phillipa, William, Charles and Myrtle.
I look forward to hearing from anyone who has an interest in this family tree.

Kind Regards from Mozzie.
