Re: Lozells and Griffiths Hi, I am also following the Griffiths Path and wondered if there maybe a connection. My Grandfather was Edward Ernest Griffiths he died in 1911 and his Widow Harriot married his brother Frederick in 1923. Does this mean anything to you? JoanH

Thank youBrummie, but no that wasnt my Sutton. Mine married in 1934 so it would have had to have been in the very late 40s or early 50s when he died. Now for another puzzle:redface: How on earth do you find out if a person left England? I have been trying to find Lilian Maud Hunt 1882 for 3yrs...

:redface: Hello Brainy Brummies, as my brain is almost dead I need some help with this one please. My second cousin Gladys Griffiths married a James Ha Sutton in 1934. Obviously I wasnt born then!!!!! The family story went:- Jimmy Sutton died in a Motor Cycle accident in the T.T. Races on the...

Re: George Rowe & Dreaded Hunts Hello Lloyd, thank you so much for your encouragement and the addresses you forwarded for me. I have tried Find My Past which I believe is affiliated to 1911 and do have small credit on there. Trouble was I waited over 10 mins for the green block to fill up, got...

Re: George Rowe and Hunt Hello Lloyd, thank you so much for the instant reply and information you have given me. Perhaps now I will be able to solve a few mysteries:rolleyes:. No doubt you have realised not all Brummies are clever, perhaps its the past years drinking Scrumpy that has addled the...

Re: George Rowe :) Hello Llyod, thank you so much for the information you so kindly looked up, you certainly know the business. I forwarded it all onto my cousin in Kent who has been searching for 20 years, and it certainly lookes like a hit:D However, I do wonder how you managed to track...

Re: George Rowe :redface: Hello Alberta, as usual this very dumb ex-brummie didnt go far enough back with the date for George Rowe. After conferring with my cousin, she thinks its nearer 1800 and not Winchesterr but Stockbridge (whereever that is) so I do apologise for time wasting. But should...

Re: George Rowe :grinsmile:Hi to both Lloyd and Alberta, both were so quick to answer my query on George Rowe. I will contact my cousin to ensure there is a link. Many thanks :D JoanH

:redface: Hi all you intelligent Brummies, my cousin and I have been searching for George Rowe from Winchester, date early 1800. If anyone could help we would be so very grateful. As we have been looking for George for 20years a few more weeks wouldnt hurt!!!:rolleyes: JoanH

Hello Bonjalu, many thanks for the information. I had thought that Solihull Insitute and merged with Selly Oak and that records were at the Central Library Birmingham. I will give Solihull a ring and hope they have some information, even if its passing me to somewhere else. I had a similar...

Hi again, just ried the solihull library but yahoo cannot connect with outlook. Joanh
