Find Ancestors

Help! I'm a little (a lot ) rubbish at this. A very good friend is looking for decendants of Alfred Henry Buckle ( Born 1908 Died 2003) . She is actually his daughter but has had no contact with him since being a baby and is now searching for any half siblings that she knows nothing about. I would love to give her some good news but am struggling on where to start. I believe he died in Southampton in Sept 2003...after that ..nothing. Any Advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks x

any idea where he was born?

in Search Trees top of this page one person has a Henry Buckle born 1908 in London = that's the only one

FYI:

Name: Alfred Henry Buckle
Birth Date: 11 May 1908
Death Registration Month/Year: Sep 2003
Age at death (estimated): 95
Registration district: Southampton
Inferred County: Hampshire
Register number: D68A
District and Subdistrict: 500/1D
Entry number: 231


and based on those details:


Births Jun 1908 (>99%)

Buckle Alfred Henry Leominster 6a 532

A death record is only as good as the person submitting it's memory of details, however they seem to be pretty specific about his date of birth. A copy of the birth cert would hopefully give a fathers name.

Thanks everyone, That does seem to be the right Alfred Henry Buckle (Anne of Green Gables) which is really exciting. How would I go about finding out if he had any children (other than my friend)?

Hi Karan,

I found a couple of marriages re a Alfred henry Buckle

June 1935 to a Janet F Horton at Scarbro
1930 to a Violet EA James at Chepstow

Doing a quick swearch could not find any children re ms/Horton, but regarding Buckle /James :

Pamela J 1933
Brian A 1936

From the 1911 census: the only Alfred Henry Buckle is the one living in Mansfield. You will need to buy credits if you wish to view the full page which should give you his parents etc. Just google 1911 census - really easy to use.


Age in 1911 District / other County / other Transcript Original page

HOUSEHOLD BUCKLE ERNEST ALFRED M 1908 3 Aston Warwickshire
HOUSEHOLD BUCKLE LAWRENCE ALFRED M 1908 3 Wandsworth London
HOUSEHOLD BUCKLE WILLIAM ALFRED M 1908 3 Abingdon Berkshire

If you look at Freebmd, you will see a couple of Alfred H. Buckle marriages but it is hard to say which is the right one until we are sure of an area.
Hope this makes sense!

Thanks Ann, Ur brilliant. Do those children from Alfred and Violet James relate to the same Alfred Buckle that you sent me the information about earlier ie.

A copy of the death certificate should confirm his place of birth and the informant may be a relative, who could help with your search.

Hi again Karan,

There really is no way of telling unless you buy the cert and it shows up the same 2 parents..........are one of those your friend?

I will take a closer look and see if there are any more on BMD, but they are only indexed to a certain point, and then it means trawling through quarter by quarter for Buckle births......does your friend have a cut off date, did the parents split/divorce etc? If you do not want to put extra info on the thread you can always send one of us a private e-mail

Hi Ann - I am Ann also (Karan's friend who is looking for any half siblings she may have).
I find your comments re Alfred Buckle's marriages very interesting and wonder if there is any way of proving if was was the same Alfred Henry Buckle who married Violet James in 1930 and Janet Horton in 1935.

The reason for asking is that my Mother was Violet Eleanor Ann James who married Alfred Henry Buckle in Nov 1930 and as far as I am aware I am their only child born in August 1945 after nearly 15 years of marriage.

I would really like to be able to check if this was the same man who married again in 1935.

I look forward to hearing from you soon - and I thank you and all the other people who have offered information.

Thank you
(Rhoda) Ann Buckle-Hammond
ps there does not seem to be any record of my birth on this site - any ideas why?

Karen,

Do you want to pm your birth detailsto me and I will see if I can find it?

Dea x

The only way to see if it is the same Alfred is to buy both marriage certs to see if his age and father's name and occupation are the same.

Hi, Thanks - I only have my Mothers marraige certificate dated 1st November 1930 which states my Father as Alfred Henry Buckle age 22 (he was born 11th May 1908) and his Father's name was Henery Buckle, occupation Labourer.

Ann

Have pm'd some birth details to Rhoda Ann

Regarding the marriage of Alfred Henry Buckle in Scarborough,there was a Alfred henry Buckle born Scarborough 1911.
So there were 2 different Alfred's,do you agree?

Maryb

Hya Dea - Being a thicko can you tell me what pm'd means??

Yes Mary - Thanks it looks like there are two Alfred Henry's.
