RE: ROCHE family

I hope Deborah is having more luck than I am! Struggling with this one but I am just a keen novice!

EDIT: left for more experienced researchers!!

Anna

Anna Report 15 Mar 2009 00:14

Thanks Victora for letting me know the numbers didn't add up!

I've checked the lists and these two were missing from the 'no relatives found' list:
Estella Jones age 57
Martha Land age 56

Also Sarah Poole (age 54) appears on both lists she should only be on the 'no relatives found' one.

Sorry, cut and paste must have included duplicate and lose!

Looking through the lists again I see that if the Meads are all related then we do, in fact, have a contact for them. In my list it only shows contact for George snr and jnr.

Oh, aargh, Victoria, I've tried to keep the master list up to date (I've reorganized it to make it more coherent) and now I have to compare what you've got in two separate lists to what I've got on the master list on page 1.

Sorry I couldn't be around as consistently as would have been wise ....

Anna

Anna Report 15 Mar 2009 00:25

Hey guys!

I have definate contacts for ROSINA PAPWORTH and FLORENCE VANNER and a "99.9% certain" about RHODA HAMMOND

All through your hard work...we're reaping the benefits. I'll say it again.....YOU'RE BLOOMIN MARVELLOUS!!

Um, I don't think I'm going to attempt that comparison. I see you have changed the order so women are now listed by birth surname. (I really hate the expression "maiden name".)

Can I go back to just asking? --

PLEASE CHECK THE MASTER LIST ON PAGE ONE

and if there is a name that has been researched that is not shown on that list as done, post here to say whether or not a match has been found in trees and a PM sent to the tree owner.

I will then update the list. Ta.

Bethnal Green Disaster 1943 Report 15 Mar 2009 00:35

Evie if I could edit your list I would. There's no need to look at my second list as it is only an extract from the first.

I am keeping a spreadsheet of all the info, so that we have everything all in one place and can easily be sent to Anna.

I can send it to you if you PM me with your email address.

Cheers

Re the Meads -- confirmed relationship, Anna.

Kenneth and Maureen have mother Jenkins, George has mother Jenkin (per birth registrations), so they're all children of George Sr.

I think Victoria confirmed relationship with Eliza Mead? Not sure.

EvieBeavie Report 15 Mar 2009 00:45

Okay - so there's nothing on your list of founds that isn't on the page one list now? Kewl. At the outset there was quite a flurry and we were all reporting our efforts differently, and I wasn't sure whether I'd caught everyone. I think after the early buzz I managed to keep up.

And I spent so much time trying to decipher Emily Berger Beger Beager and Joseph Raolinaitis Raulinajtis Rolynitis (1911) that I got way behind in my own attempts.

I don't want no stinking spreadsheets. ;)

Just keep posting those CAPITAL LETTERS for names that have been done, tree matches found or not.

I'd love the Tarbucks to be related to Liza and Jimmy then we could get the profile raised for the Memorial Trust!

We can but hope ;-)

IVY HISCOKE

Can't identify her but husband's details PMed to BGTD; no tree matches for him.

Why do I get the good ones? Probably the mother of "Bictor" Hiscoke (yes, mistyped Victor), Bethnal Green 1941, mother Doe ... which could make her Ivy W Dove ...

Found the marriage, 1939; she was Ivy Hook, will look for more details and send to Victoria. She left a child born 1939 ...

For the Roches - the info in the list is way off from what's at CWGC:

Bessie Roche 42
Eddie Roche 8
Joan Roche 9
Ted Roche 40

vs

ROCHE, EDMUND 39 - husband of Rhoda
ROCHE, EDWARD 7 son of Edmund and Rhoda
ROCHE, JOAN MARY 10 - daughter of Edmund and Rhoda
ROCHE, RHODA 33 - wife of Edmund

The children's names aren't producing good matches in the post-1916 births index at Ancestry, except Joan M, 1932, Newport M, mother Vaughan. Possibly there was a second wife situation.
