There is a Margaret D Anthony born 1943 with mmn hadley in wiltshire but I cant find any connection to wiltshire at this time so dont know if this is a different child to someone else?
Thats good to hear thank you. I found an electoral roll address that percy and a Gladys M hadley were living at. Think I posted this above. However, I struggled to work out who Gladys was and considering most of the family are midlands and the only birth registration I found was for london, I...
I literally have no information on this John william hadley. I dont know if he did survive. The only thing I can possibly do is research the addresses for the rest of the family to see if he is there. I have found with a few family members they as they got older moved in with the kids or the...
Yes especially as it mentioned anxiety after the birth of one of her children. although we dont know how happy the relationship was, but yes possibly post natal. Very sad. Its so weird finding out information that the family either never knew or spoke of, or just didnt want to ever discuss...
Oh thats amazing to find out, thank you. Will add the children to my tree to my tree and try and find more out. I do have Beryl PM Anthony who married twice, though no death entry for her. But I didnt know about the other two children so thank you. And its also great knowing william and edna...
Thank you for this, this is more information on my family than Ive known. The only confusing thing is where they quote her mother as Mavis as her mother was May E Johns. i take it this may just be another typo which history seems filled with. Im so grateful for these cuttings as I cant afford...
Not sure where to put this, whether under general genealogy help, surname interests or lost family. But here goes. Im after some help once more, as this side of my family is proving quite difficult to pin down.
Im looking for information on the following, particularly death dates, and...
I am related to Leah Portlock who married Charles Davies, and then got together with George Cameron, though I cannot find any record of a marriage to George.
Hi Debs I would love to find information out about my side of the family, which is the hadley, portlocks and cummings as well as share what I find out about the camerons. Im happy to give email if you would prefer to communicate that way. Do you have any records, documents or photos for...
Oh so true, the hadley family, cummings and portlocks were economical with the truth. I had a nightmare with Emily Portlock, who lied to get married, changed her name from Emily to Emma and back again, but with the help of people here we finally solved it. I found doing the Jones side of the...
William Davies 1894 is from Leah's first marriage also Charles Frederick Davies 1891, Edith Florence Davies 1889, Georgina Cameron 1900-1901 apparently died falling over.Frances Cameron 1902-1924
Yes she did marry Harold Whitehouse. There is also a Harry Whitehouse in the same area, similar birth so it does get a little confusing. However, someone has given me details from their marriage certificate which is as follows:
Birmingham register office 8th October 1932 - Harold Whitehouse...
Hi Lyn, thats the summary I reached. We cant find any marriage record of Leah marrying George Cameron so I assume when Violet was born, Leah registered her under the name of Davies/Davis rather than Cameron, perhaps she hadnt been with George that long. I found Violet did marry Harold...
Yep I stumbled across this earlier because I wondered as Leah may not have married George whether Violet was registered under the name of Davies and sure enough she was Thanks tho
I'm trying to find information on Leah Portlock who was born 1867, daughter of William Portlock and Mary Ann West. Leah married Charles William Davis in 1887 but Charles died 1893. Leah is next seen on the 1901 and 1911 census with George Cameron, who was previously married. However I can't...
