Family History Beginners Board / Where would I begin to look?
« on: Sunday 18 August 13 23:53 BST (UK)  »
Not sure where to begin to look for some potentially living family - especially since I have no names!

Rumors are that my grandfather fathered twin boys in Boston, Lincolnshire, despite being married to my grandmother at the time. I have a rough idea of this being between 1946-1956

My grandparents are dead, as is my uncle who is the one who told my mother about this rumor.

Where would I begin to look?

Cambridgeshire / Re: Vincent Bouch - 1812 - 1887 of Wisbech, Cambridgeshire

Hello

Hope you don't mind me bringing up this old conversation, but found this on google.

I too am descended from Vincent and Mary Ann, and their daughter Sarah Jane.

I didn't know Mary Ann's surname was Griggs, so thanks for that.

I didn't know a lot of information about Vincent, and certainly didnt know about the murder! Interesting stuff.

I did however know he spent some time in Wisbech Prison for being drunk. I have his mugshot picture somewhere.

I find this line interesting, as it's an unusual name. French I presume.

If you have anymore info, i'd appreciate hearing about it.

Many Thanks,

Paul.

Norfolk Lookup Requests / Hastings
« on: Saturday 03 November 07 01:36 GMT (UK)  »
Could someone be so kind to look up;

Ethel Kate Hastings, born c1888, King's Lynn or one of the surrounding parishes.

I know she married a Arthur Griggs, but was wondering if she had any siblings.

I'm trying to prove a link between me and my friend, i've known over 20 years! We could be related!!

Thanks in advance!
Paul.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / The Gate Inn

Hello everyone.

Would one kind individual be able to restore this for me?

I found it at work, at we would like to put it on the wall, but I think it could do with a good clean up.

If possible, could you please get rid of the creases, and perhaps sharpen it up a bit?

No need to worry about colour or anything.

Many thanks,

Paul.

Norfolk / Re: Sophia Brown - b.Kings Lynn abt.1800
« on: Saturday 31 March 07 23:57 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

It may be nothing, but one of my ancestors, Sophia Brown, was born in Gressenhall in c1807, but married in Lynn in 1829, to William Barrett.

Possibly a connection?

Paul.
