Just to add a little bit more information regarding Alexandra. She appears in the Lovell Street Directory for Montreal from 1921/22 to 1930/31. Appears as Mrs A Halliday wid T [widow of Thomas] nurse, living at 19a Fourth Ave 1921/22 to 1922/23. Mrs A Halliday wid Thos at 57A Willibrord Av...

Thank you gibbo and solidrock for checking. solidrock is correct, I too can't find any reference to Alexandra after her mention on shipping records for the 7 October 1938 'Duchess of Atholl' from Liverpool to Montreal. Alexandra was 74 then. I subscribe to several genealogical sites and can't...

Desperately seeking help. Alexandra Selina Halliday (nee Parkinson) was born in 1863 in Dalston London. She is my Great Grand Aunt. I am trying to find her death, probably in Montreal after 1938. She moved to Canada in the early 1900s and appears in some Lovell Directory and some shipping...

Thank you Julie & Steve for their contributions and anyone else who took an interest. So it looks like Pinder is Sikh/Punjabi or even Sanskrit for Brave Leader. Thanks again. Parky

Oh, that's a shame. If you or anyone should come across this link I would be grateful if they could let me know as I would like to inform descendants of Hubert Pinder Parkinson and Thomas Pinder Parkinson where the unusual middle name of their ancestor came from. Thank you. Parky.

Steve, as I have been unsuccessful in finding this general search for the Seikh/Punjabi definition are you able to give me a link or guide me as to how you found it? Thanks. Parky

Steve, I appreciate your help. Did you find the "Brave Leader" definition of Pinder on any online Sikh/Punjabi directory? Yes I did come across that Pinder was an old English word for an impounder of stray cattle but I think this is irrelevant in this case. I think the Pinder used as a middle...

I have 2 members on my tree with Pinder as a middle name. They are Hubert Pinder Parkinson born Cowley 1889 and his nephew Thomas Pinder Parkinson born Ahmednagar India 1913. Pinder is not a family name. Both their fathers served in India. So I am wondering if Pinder is an Indian name? Any help...

Now found Richard Adamson's birth. Born 10 January 1900 at Leeds as David Abrahamson son of a Russian Jew Michael Abrahamson. Changed his name about 1924, Medal Card card shows name change.

Any one following this tread I believe Richard Leslie Adamson's home address in 1939 was 12 Moorland Road Portsmouth. His wife Lilian K Admonson (transcription error) appears there (thank you Rupert.) Richard was called up to the RAF Voluntary Reserve on 6 September 1939 and I assume was...

Hi Rupert, Thanks again for your interest. With Lilian living at the same address in the 1939 Register and Richard writing from that address a year or so earlier I suspect they were both living there at the time of the 1939 Register. But I can't understand why his entry would be blanked out or...

Hi Rupert, Thank you for the information you have kindly supplied. Yes, this is Lilian K Adamson as she was born in 1906. I guess the 'Admonson' is a transcription error. The next entry with her is possibly her youngest son, Patrick who was born 5 April 1937. Two other sons appear in the 1939...

Hi, Not found Richard or Lilian on the 1939 Register but have found a couple of their children, separately and not in Portsmouth. Have you found Richard & Lilian? Thanks Parky

This is my first post so grateful for any help. Looking for Richard Leslie Adamson and his wife Lilian Kate Adamson (nee Penfold) in any Kellys directories or Street Directories in Portsmouth/Gosport in the 1920's to 1940's. Richard & Lilian married in 1924 in Porstmouth and I am trying to find...
