Family History Beginners Board / Lobeck children really confused

« on: Monday 28 September 09 12:33 BST (UK) »

Maybe somebody can expain this to me as to what is wrong here . None of them are alive now.
Gladys Irene Lobeck married Richard W Hughes June 1917 Cardiff 111a 817.
Search for children Doreen M Hughes B Cardiff Sep 1919 11a 817 .
And Isobel V I Hughes B Havorfordwest Sep 1932 11a 1771

Then Gladys Irene Lobeck married Alan Lovell Hancock Sep 1932 Cardiff 11a 924. Note on Free BMD Lobeck is Alias for Hughes .
Search for children Isobel V I Hancock B Havorfordwest Sep 1932 11a 1771
And Peta E Hancock B Havorfordwest Mar 1938 11a 1544.

So why would Gladys marry twice under the name Lobeck .
And how can the same child be registered twice under a different surname .

Am i missing something here?

Thanks Roy

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Thomas Hutchinson Alston born circa 1781

« on: Monday 07 September 09 16:57 BST (UK) »

I am completly stuck , i have spent hours on this and cannot find anything , nobody else seems to have these people on there tree and can find nothing on online parish records , so a big plea for help and guidance .

1841 census Nenthead Hill Alston
Thomas Hutchinson Lead Miner 60 Yrs NOT born in County
Elizabeth Hutchinson aged 60 yrs Born in county
Robert Hutchinson aged 30 Yrs Born in county
Thomas Hutchinson aged 30 Yrs Born in county
John Hutchinson aged 8 yrs Born in county .

So what do i know John is Thomas,s son by first marriage or illigitamate and Thomas went on to marry Mary Havelock (or live with her ) circa 1845 ( she is on same page of census living with her parents ) so i have all info on Thomas .

What i cannot find is Marriage for Thomas Snr to an Elizabeth and his wifes maiden name.
Baptism for his children Robert , Thomas , and John ..
A first Marriage for Thomas , but there is a possible Mary Brown circa 1833 , but no baptism or death for her .
Confirmation of Marriage of Mary Havelock to Thomas Hutchinson , although they had about 8 children together .
What happened to Robert in 1851 census and onwards .

Could it be they were non conformist and they kept no records .

Any help thought or tips might get me moving again ..Many thanks Roy

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Thomas Hutchinson Alston

« on: Saturday 08 August 09 09:36 BST (UK) »

Can anybody help me out on Parish records on this please ..Thomas Hutchinson B 1805 Nenthead (Lead Miner) had 9 children . We know that he was married or living with Mary Havelock, his 1st child John was born 1834 but then there was a gap of 9 years before Jane was born in 1843, then it was children every 18 months .

It struck me that he might have been married before and his wife died .

Found a Reference to a Mary Brown Bap Alston 2/6/1811 Married a Thomas Hutchinson 6/7/1833 , Died 29/10/1834.

Question when was John Born , could Mary Brown have died in Childbirth and also can anybody find a Marriage between Thomas Hutchinson and Mary Havelock.

Thanks Roy

World War One / Charles Thomas Braybrook

« on: Monday 03 August 09 18:49 BST (UK) »

Charles Thomas Braybrook born 29 june 1893 in Bermondsey London . My wifes grandfather was injured in the first world war ..We dont know anything about him , who he served with and family talk is that he was shot in the head and left for dead , but was found by Australian army the next day. He suposedly was shot by a sniper while picking a peach from a tree , so it was obviously a hot country .. Can any body help or point us in the right direction, i believe there should be medical records about him ...Thanks Roy

The Lighter Side / How complete will FreeBMD be

« on: Saturday 01 August 09 12:55 BST (UK) »

Researching my family tree on the Lobecks on freeBMD over the last few years, i am suprised how few deaths there are in comparisom to the births . Do you think the records are not there or just unlucky that they are not yet transcribed. Roy
