Hi Sharon
welcome . You will enjoy this site. There are many members to help in your searches.
You will see that I am a Jefferiss, I married one that came from a long line of doctors. I am back to a Robert Reuben Jefferiss that lived in Scotland but came from somewhere in England.
Let me know more information and we will see if we can join up somewhere
In the past there were some rellies in Somerset but I have details but they do not seem to go anywhere with me.

Hello Nainmaddie
It's been such a long time since I first joined, I haven't been on the board because of prolonged illness, but I'm back now and grateful for any tips/help that you can pass on.
I originate from London and have some information regarding my immediate ancestors who lived in the London/Poplar area and I can post this on here if it's appropriate to do so. I'm not sure of the procedures of posting info on the board. But anyway I can give some names and rough dates for the time being.
Starting with me: Sharon M Jefferiss, I have 3 siblings and we were all born in London between 1959 - 1971.
My father was John Jefferiss 1937-2001
Grandfather John Joseph Jefferiss D.O.B around 1910 - 2000
Gt Grandfather Frederick Jefferiss D.O.B unknown
I have the names of G.Fathers siblings and some of their living families as well as some dates etc.
I know that my father, G.Father and Gt.G.Father all worked in the London Docks and lived around the Poplar area.
I have also been told that there is a Scotish connection, but have not managed to find the link yet. I know some of the details of the Robert R. Jefferiss that you have referred to, but I'm not sure where and if he fit's in with my family tree.
I have found some details today on the BMD site referring to a Robert Reuben Jefferiss aged 57 who is on the HENDON district vol of 3a page 83 entered on the Jun 1894 list. But I've not gone any further with this at the moment.
I know that a lot of the research that I've already come up with is regarding doctors as a family profession, but I'm not sure if this line is anything to do with me.
I do know that some of the living people that I've found via the internet are connected with me and I did receive some limited information from them.
I'd be very grateful for any help in tracing the 'missing link' between the London and Scottish connections or any help/tips you may be able to pass on.
kind regards, Angelwispa (Sharon)
