    Nick, no need for an apology as you were not at all wasting my time, your answer just didn't seem relevant to my question, although it would be very good advice for anyone that had just started their family history. I just wanted to know basically if there was an option that you could click on...

    Were the 2 Churches Near?

    I have looked on google maps for this and it seems to show a few minute walk or so, but I thought I would ask this question to see if anyone local can help. Two children of a couple were baptised within 2 years of each other at St John Deritend (1770 and 1772), 2 years later (1774) up to 13...

    Information on Passengers

    Hello Suzanne Thank you for finding the will details and for posting them for me, William certainly lived to a ripe old age. I don't know how I missed it :rolleyes:. I wished I knew though if Alice Emily Williams who died in 1928 was his daughter or not. Many thanks for your help. Ewan

    Information on Passengers

    Hello Suzanne, I am in the library at the moment looking at wills, I have found the one of an Alice Emily Williams but I can't find the one that you think is the dad of Alice. There is one who died in 1881 looking at death registrations that could be that one but he was aged 79 in 1881 so he...

    I haven't seen the will of William Cheverton as yet Suzanne, but you mentioning about a will of an Alice Emily Williams for 1928 on the Isle of Wight looks of interest even though the birth year is 1846. I may try and follow her through on censuses to see about her past. Thanks for the...

    Information on Passengers

    Hello Maurice and Suzanne Not forgetting the fact that I am not sure whether the Walter Williams on the passenger list from Port Stanley is the son of Alice and James Williams, it is just that his name came up on the lists, with his age being a good match. However, I will contact the people...

    Thank you batmadviv, and Maurice for your help again. Yes, that is the couple's marriage in 1884 Isle of Wight. I also have looked on the 1881 census looking for Alice Emily Cheverton, entering Alice Cheverton birthplace England 'all' and a birth year of 1855 + or - 10 years, census county...

    Information on Passengers

    Hello Maurice Walter John Williams was born in 1885 in England, he and his parents are not showing on the 1891 census, so I presume if they went abroad it was after 1885 sometime. I don't know the occupation of his dad, only that his name was John James Williams and his mum Alice Emily...

    Information on Passengers

    Hello Maurice I really think I have come to a dead end with this chap, primarily I wondered if he was the son of a couple I can not find on the 1891 and 1901 censuses. The name of Walter John Williams cropped up on the passenger list, with the age being a good match and I was hoping to find...

    Information on Passengers

    Maurice Thank you for your interest in my dilemma regarding passenger lists and for posting the link. After asking various people I have come to the conclusion that there is no where to find out more than what is in the ancestry record. Another dead end. Thanks again Ewan

    Information on Passengers

    Just to say I have had numerous people helping to look for Walter John Williams and his family, and I feel I have come to a dead end there. I need advice really on where I can find out anymore about the passenger list if possible, or perhaps there is no where I can find out more information. I...
