Essex Lookup Requests / Albert Aylett Warner
« on: Friday 07 March 08 08:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I am looking for info about the parents of Albert Aylett Warner. Until he married my great aunt Albert lived with his grandparents Walter and Emma. As far as I can see they only had one daughter, Alice, and I'm wondering if she is Albert's mother. I can't find a marriage for her and John Aylett who is recorded as Albert's father on his marriage certificate. On the 1901 census it states that Albert was born in Halstead in Essex. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Kate.

Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Smith family of Moulsham Essex
« on: Tuesday 04 March 08 07:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hi. I am looking for any info regarding the Smith family of 13 Church Street, and Moulsham St, Chelmsford. I have the 1901 census which lists :-

William Smith 52 Carter for Contractors b Tunstall, Suffolk
Emily Smith 42 b Sudbourne, Suffolk
William Smith 14 House boy domestic born Chelmsford
Emily Smith 17 Servant born Widford, Essex
George Smith 10 Errand boy born Chelsmford, Essex
Walter Smith 4 born Chelmsford
Ernest Smith 2 born Chelmsford

I know what happened to William and Ernest - William died in WW1 and Ernest was my grandfather but I am very interested in any information regarding Walter and George who may have moved to Scotland to work in the ship building industry.

Any leads would be much appreciated.  Thanks, Kate.

Suffolk / Goodwin SMITH
« on: Monday 03 March 08 18:37 GMT (UK)  »
My great grandfather was originally called James Gooding and was born in Tunstall in 1844. His parents were called James and Jemima (sometimes spelt Jamima). He married Emily Whayman and then changed his name to William Smith and moved to Chelmsford, Essex and had several children who all had the prefix Goodwin or Gooding to the surname. Does anyone have any information regarding my family especially as to why James changed his name. (The story goes he jumped ship). Many thanks, Kate.
