Can Anyone help me? I am trying to track some information about my Grandparents, My grandma's name is Florence Emiley Chalfont, My Grandfather is Called George Stanford, They had a daughter called Rose Stanford in 1931 In Tonbridge Kent, My mother has 8 brothers i only know a few manes, George, Hubert, David, James now calles himself Victor. George stanford used to be a Hawker (Gypsy who sells door to door). I would really appreciate any information.

My second Cousin is someone called henry Stanford and his wifes name is Paula they were travellers around the kent Area, a few other names that have popped up are william and mary anne.

I am having difficulty finding births and marriage.
Are your grandparents' names from Rose's birth certificate?
Have you any dates of birth for your mother's brothers?
Who was Henry's (your cousin's) father?
Thanks

I have found a family of 5 boys, surname Stanford.
I will pm them to you to see what you think as they are probably still alive, they have a different mother's maiden name.

Cannot find anyone with surname Chalfonte on the 1911 census.
Cannot find birth for Flor* Chalf*.
Any possibility she was an Irish traveller?

Hayley

Hayley Report 17 Jun 2010 20:42
