Hi

A warm welcome to Rootschat.  I hope that you find lots about your family via the helpful souls on this forum.

I'd love to help you with this question, so some dates would be useful........ like around about when your Frederick William GATHERCOLE was born.  It will help narrow down the search boundaries for us...

Cheers
Karenlee

karenlee-hi and thanks for your interest.
frederick william was born in 1897 in orsett i think-registered under his mothers maiden name of gathercole-
orsett seems correct-there was a lord who lived there
many thanks

woody-hi-wow you seem to have cracked it for me-all the info dates places etc seem to add up.Thank you so much.My father was Alfred James as well so im hoping it was a family name.Im anxious to find out as much as i can about my grandfather Frederick william-especially in what stately home his mother worked as a maid,at least now i have something to go on
