There is a burial for a Harold Davis at Brandwood End Cemetery in Jan 1930. There are only a couple of deaths registered for a Harold Davis around that time and the other is in Havant, so could be yours. His probate suggests he left £10.

Joseph Dearden (driver) was fined 40s and costs for driving without due care and consideration. Three other people were injured - Bham Daily Gazette 1 Jun 1933. He died in 1935.

New records become available all the time so I wouldn't give up hope. The oldest of the children with the Edward and Maria I mentioned previously in 1841 is just 16 so there are possible older children. Also not all children were baptised in the place they were born. Worcestershire is not the...

Also in the same area in 1841 & 1851 there is an Edward Cook/Cooke b1777 Bham. Wife Maria. One of your Edward's daughters is Ann Maria.

One of his sons being called Fergus O'Connor Cooke could be something. I don't think that's a name that you would pick randomly, though it could be from his mother's side.

If he was the illegitimate son of Mary Cooke then the chances are finding his father is virtually zero. However, that he is the son of Mary is also debatable. Baptism date does not always indicate the year of birth and there are other possibilities. Unless you can find a connection between...

There are a number of immigration/emigration records sets on Ancestry. The most likely one that would show them - England, Alien Arrivals - only goes up to 1869 atm. I assume a complete set is kept at the National Archives and in time may be available on Ancestry.

You could purchase the marriage certificate from the GRO.

Yes, registered in the Dec qtr.

That's a bit of a stretch if you're suggesting that the 2 are related. It is believed that Roger de Montgomery didn't come to England until 1067.

Thanks, even earlier than I thought then.

I'd almost certainly that Rebecca was the mother of Maurice, Julia & Eliza, Henry is the only doubt due to his absence in 1841 and that's a very slight one. According to another a tree on familysearch Isaac & Rebecca married in London. They list a date and a synagogue so I can only assume...

Was the meeting with the Prince of Wales pre or post 1910, please? Future George V or Edward VIII?

That was my first sighting of him and I then took him to be the son of Isaac even though as Chris mentions he's not with the family in 1841. I have Henry's mother as Rebecca Jacobs. She was the sister of Caroline's mother - Rebecca Jacobs - and also the sister of his Abrahams brother & sister...

I've researched your Myers ancestors a little but I'm not totally certain that the person I have for Charles Moss Myers' father is correct. So some interesting things I've discovered may not be relevant. Jewish records are not great. Were Charles Moss Myers' parents - Henry Myers and Caroline...

To get such extensive memories to go with the research is a welcome change and so interesting.
