Dear Nice People,
    I just wanted to thank you for your help and insights.
    While reading about the Workhouse made me sad (thanks to CaroleW)
    the other information given to me by JenB and Janw65 cheered me up
    knowing that he is buried in C of L Cem. lighten my heart a bit.
    Ladyhawk's information about also Jane, his wife is what I believe to be true.
    Thanks again for your help
     Please take care  and look after yourselves - Kind Regards - Keith

London and Middlesex / Union Workhouse, Hackney
« on: Wednesday 14 July 21 19:02 BST (UK)  »
 Greetings Nice People,
        I have just got a copy of my Great great Grandfathers Death Certificate which said
    that he died of Typhus in the Union Workhouse, Hackney on the19th May 1860.
       His name was Samuel Rogers and I would like to know:
           a) Was the Union Workhouse, Hackney the one in Homerton
           b) Where would I find the records for it
           c) What would they have done with his body - I mean Typhus in a place like that!
               if they buried I'd like to know where so I could take some flowers - plus I think
            his wife died in the same place many years later.
            Thank you for your help - Please take care - KInd regards Keith Davies

London and Middlesex / My Great G/Grandma born in Bethnal Green circa 1856
« on: Wednesday 14 July 21 18:26 BST (UK)  »
Greetings Nice People,
           I am trying to find out about my Great Grandmother who was born in late 1856 in Bethnal
 Green . Her name was Ann Hollis , known as Annie. She was born to William and Elizabeth Hollis.
 ( i don't the exact date or place) .
  She married my Great Grandfather, Charles Rogers in Dalston on the 17 May 1875. They had six
 children most of whom I have knowledge of except George, born in 1880 in Homerton.
  Sadly, Charles died in 1888 in 30 Merton Road, Homerton leaving Annie with 5 kids (1 had died )
  She married again in 1895 a man by the name of John Richard Farmer with whom she had at least
  2 more kids.
     The 1901 census (RG 13/286 ) , this is the last entry I have for George, living at 8 Newling Str.
   Bethnal Green.  We think that John and Rose sadly died in 1902 of Diptheria, but I can't find
   what happened after that to either Annie, John Farmer or George Rogers. they may have had
   another daughter named Elizabeth Farmer but I'm not sure.
      I'm hoping some fresh sets of eyes may help
         Thank you in advance for any guidance and help you can give me
          Please take care and look after yourselves - Kind Regards  - Keith Davies

Greetings Nice People,

   Just to say thank you to Don and aghadowey for your input with regard to my
   Canadian Ballet Dancer. It looks like she may have come to UK as an independent.
           It has been pointed out to me rightly that the lady could still be alive so i
      withdrawn/replaced my question and Sandra has solved that problem for me.
                       Thanks again Nice People - Take care - Keith

Canada Lookup Request / Re: How do I trace my family in Canada

Dear Sandra,
           I tried yesterday to thank you for your invaluable help but I have never sent a PM before
   and when I pressed send it said something about being full up.
            Edward was one of my great grandfathers 8 children and the only one I couldn't find. The
   only way I found about him was from his siblings / Half siblings obituaries and honestly your help
   has taken my knowledge of him to a whole new level so thank you again.
            My problem is that it seems if I come away from a page I lose it. I can't find hardly any of
   the posts or their replies. I must have my account set up wrong but I don't remember changing
   anything.
             I would never be rude to anyone and I apologise if you think I was.
          I will check to see if I can sort out my account and then ask a question and if nothing
          changes I will stop using Rootschat as the last thing I want to do is offend anyone.

                Thank you again for your help and please take care in these troubled times,
   
                         Kind regards - Keith Davies

Canada Lookup Request / How do I trace my family in Canada
« on: Monday 08 March 21 18:37 GMT (UK)  »
Greetings Nice People - I hope you are all keeping safe

     I am trying to trace family in Canada that went out around 1903 and stayed. I know my
     great Uncle Edward Davies married out there and raised a family but I can't find records
      in the same way I can using  Free BMD in the UK - Is there any source like BMD in Canada?
         He married a lady named Tydvill Jane Jenkins in  Simcoe, Ontario on the 7th of May 1906.
        I know of some children and grandchildren but its all a bit vague.
     Edward is my first effort at trying to find someone outside of Wales       

                                   Thanks for any help - take care - Keith       

 P.S. Sorry for my mistake regarding Janet Ferguson. Hopefully I have corrected myself
       Thank you for the two other bits of advice.

Cardiganshire / My G/G/Mother Anne Davies
« on: Thursday 03 December 20 15:50 GMT (UK)  »
Greetings Nice People,
             I'm having trouble finding out about my Great Grandmother Anne Davies
           She was baptised on the 25th March 1849 - but I can't find a record of her birth.
           I got 2 pdfs from GRO (No's 27/36 and 27/35) which are not her
            Her baptism happened  at Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn. Her Father was a Lead Miner
            and they lived with her Mother Anne at Penrhiw ,Garnwen ( I can't find that place either)
           She married my Great Grandfather David in Feb1878 and had my Grandfather David on
            30th November 1878 as well 3 other Children. All of her children (apart from my
           Grandfather) and her husband died before her. I know nothing about her death apart from
           she lived until at least 1918. They started off living in Abermaide Mill House when they first
            married moving on to Craig-y-bwch finally onto Camolwg in Cwmrheidol where I think
            she died. I know my uncle Daniel and Aunt Annie Gwen both lived with her. My Aunt
            married a local man and running a local shop in Salem.
            When my G/G/M married my G/G/F she was his second wife and took on at least 4
            children from his first marriage. They had a lot to do with Aberffrwd chapel.
               She must have been one hell of a woman and I would have loved to have met her.
           So, if anyone has any ideas how I can find her Birthday or when she died I would
            very grateful - please take care - Kind Regards Keith   :) :) :)
