Hi there,

Just wondering if people in England who are moving to a new town/city/village have to unregister in the place they are leaving and register in the new place they are going to.
That's how it goes overhere in the Netherlands.
If it's the same in England are there any records ?
was wondering when my Nan went from Stanford-Le-Hope, Essex, to Dover, Kent.
I'm guessing just after the war, but not sure.

Hi again

Joseph Poole who married Amelia Wright in 1806, was married before.
He married Elizabeth Perry in 1796 in Great Waltham.
Elizabeth died in 1805.
5 months later Joseph married Amelia.
Could it be that Joseph and Elizabeth had children and he needed a wife to take care of the children quickley ?

so….: did Joseph and Elizabeth have any children ?
And when and where was Elizabeth born ?

Any help grately appreciated.

Hi all,
I'm trying to find out where my Grandmother Doris Blanch(e) Windley (nee Wilson born 1905) lived in 1937 to about 1950

I have found her in the Electoral Registers 1934, 1935, 1936. She was living in Dorking with husband Frederick Jack.

In 1939 she was living in Thurrock Essex (England & Wales Register)


Grandfather Frederick was killed in action 1940 at Dunkirk during operation Dynamo.


So where was Doris living in 1938, 1940 to 1944 ?


In 1945 she lived in Stanford le Hope Essex


Where was she from 1946 to 1950 ?

As you can see, she moved around a lot....


Are there any Electoral Registers for these years ?


thank you for your time.

oh I just rememberred she also lived in Dover for quite some years but I don't know if she moved there before  or after the war.

Hi all,

I'm not sure if the man I'm looking for really excisted. I found the name of this man in a letter my Nan wrote.
He could be the father of my uncle. My Nan never really wanted to say who his father was and told different stories/names. So this might be another ghost hunt. But I can try anyway.
What she said in this letter:

He was a British Officer R.E., attached to the Czech Army than in England. He was in London (we are talking about 1943/1944). He was suddenly posted in France, where he was killed in action just before X-mas 1944. My uncle was born July 1945.

His name was (according to Nan) Frederick Charles. Surname she wouldn't mention, or Charles might have been his Surname.

There is a (small) possibility that Frederick had a connection to Cornwall (either born there, or live there), but I'm not sure about that.

thank you
