[jenny53]

hi
i,m trying to find the father of JOHN SCRIVENER.. ( D.O.D 1925 Reading Berkshire England aged45)

I think he was Born around 1875/ 1877  Wantage   Berkshire.. but not sure
as info very little,

John married Mary G Smith 1912..

i never new that side of my family as it was a no subject .

I,ve try following leads but i,m not sure i,m on the right line.. as still very new to this..

As he was born before the 1881 census - have you checked for him there

Do you have a copy of the 1912 marriage cert which will (hopefully) show his fathers name and occupation

[jenny53]

hello
the cert is ordered so hope that will arrive soon..

[CaroleW]

There are quite a few possible 1881 entries - particularly if he wasn't born in Berks -so it is wiser to wait until the cert arrives and then you can see if a match can be found on the 1881

hi
 thank you think i,ve found him

father was Philip but seems they come from
   Stowmarket, Suffolk, England
        Age   48

[CaroleW]

If the marriage cert confirms his father as Philip - great - you can take it from there

Hi Jenny53,

The Berks Burial Index (ex BFHS) lists;
14-4-1925  SCRIVENER, John (48)  abode, Little Hungerford, Buried Holy Trinity, Hermitage, Berks

Could this be the person you're looking for?

Hello Alan
yes this is my grandfather..

i know very little about him or his family, as my mum would never talk
about her family. I did meet her sisters and brother.. there was a very cold feel
from the family..

I was forbidden to find out about them to after her death..which I did keep to
but It makes it hard now to find out much

there are no photos of her family anywhere..and I can not remember seeing any ever
thanks for the help..
