Thanks guys, ive attached 4 pics. 2 are from a book given to my grandmother in 1921 by the man she later married. The others are from a RNVR card which I think may belong to the same man. Any help welcome.

Hey there. Any budding handwriting experts out there? I have 2 offerings of handwriting but cant be sure if its from the same man...my grandfather. I can upload if there are any volunteers who can have a look and can confirm its from the same hand or not. This would mean an awful lot as at...

Thanks for the above info on Norman/Edward I really appreciate the help. Finally I have the marriage cert for Norman and Daisy....not that it helps tho!!! Both ages listed as 32 so that would place the birth about 1893 same as grandmother Daisy, his occupation is a Yacht Captain!!! and a...

Thanks Dave, I now have conflicting information with the stuff ive got from the RNVR records. He cant have been in 2 places at once so have to decide which is the correct N E Sandiford :o I need more info about him which will only come when I get the marriage cert, as I dont know for certain...

Thanks Dave, the only bit of that info I didnt have was the French connection. Im not sure about it tho as mum was adamant he died in 1926. Will keep looking and wait for the marriage cert that at least will give me his dads name and place of residence at the time of the marriage. Im...

Would appreciate some help with a problem. :( My maternal grandfather Norman Edward Sandiford married Caroline Daisy Bennett June 1925. Mum always maintained that he died before she was born so that wouldve been the Jan/Feb 26 as she was born 19/10/1926. The problem im having is no death cert...

Have just signed the petition. Am so sick of not being able to get hold of information pertinent to my family search and being told by officials that the information is not available yet. This is MY family history not some random stranger and most of the people involved are DEAD. Im sure other...

Hi guys, thanks for the help. Internet issues had me unable to check in. Will have a look at the above. :D

Hello, ive got William on the 1871 census when he was still living at home, he got married the following year to Isabell Harriet Lockie. He is easy to track, with birth etc. I agree. Ive searched for Beard, Biard, but not been able to come up with any info on Isabell....its quite frustrating as...

Thanks for the confirmation:), twigged just before you replied, have only been looking at her today. No I havent sent for the certificate yet, have a list im working through and like to make sure im sending for the right ones before handing over my hard earned dosh.

AAAh it may be that Isabell was adopted by William, further search shows Harriet was married before to a James Beard, assuming he died sometime between 1852 and 1857.

No info on mothers maiden name anywhere, she was born in West London in July 1853. On census records for her marriage she is labelled as Isabell and Gabrell (Williams handwriting wasnt very clear sometimes. She was married on April 14 1872 and the parish is Bethnal Green, St James the Great

Here's a tricky one. Isabell Harriett Lockie was born July-Aug-Sept 1853. Her dad was William Henry Lockie. She married William Bennett in 1872 (context for the question)...ok so far then it gets tricky. According to research her dad William Henry was a bachelor according to the marriage...

Thank you so much for the help, I hadn't considered variations on spellings...despite having a conversation with my brother last night about the exact same thing DOH!! :) I did think it odd I couldn't find them now I know why. Its very interesting tho when I looked at the original Household...

New conundrum that needs some help...I traced the information given below regarding both the Carolan and Mckenna clans. The 1911 census for the Carolan clan shows the usual info but I wanted to check with the 1901 census to compare...trouble rears its ugly head!! According to 1901 census...
