Find Ancestors

I have no idea if any of the family are buried in E.Retford but would like to go there anyway. I have looked for sanderson children but have not found any.
seem to have come to a full stop but will keep looking

Do you mean children of Doris Hewitt and Albert Sanderson?

Well, I did have a poke around for them, cos I happen to know a Sanderson family in that area, and it intrigued me.

But I didn't get anywhere.

Do you know they are buried in the churchyard? It might be worth contacting the local municipal cemetery first, they usually have records of burials, and I have had some excellent bits of information from such records in the past. Churchyard burials were probably few and far between after about 1900, unless family already had a grave. In which case, I'd contact the church for information.

Thanks Meg
I had found this but thought i could be wrong i hope i can find some children it would help if the family have stayed in E.Reford, I am thinking of going to the church in E. Retford in the next few months to see if there are any of my family buried there
I am grateful to you and everyone else for your hep
Thankyou

Spouse Albert Sanderson.

You are dead right Feona, don't know how I missed the birth of Charles G Hewitt. I think I got onto Stevensons by mistake - apologies for confusing you.

Hi i'm a little muddled
Charles Henry Hewitt was married to Nellie Stevenson they had a child called Charles G Hewitt born 1930 E.Retford 7b 15
Charles Henry was brother to Doris Hewitt Born 1906, Elsie Hewitt Born 1909 I'm not sure about Rose Hewitt Born1917 that would make her mother 36 when she was born although it does seem to be right
I think men are easier to trace as they dont change their surnames
Feona

Nor can I find any Edwards children with a mmn Stevenson of the right age. Loads of the wrong age/wrong area of the country.

Of course, they might be the right people, but how do we know?

Julie, what I meant was if the informant is NOT a member of the family, it won' t tell us anything worthwhile. Am I wrong in my logic? I do sometimes get a mental blockage!

Thanks to everyone you are all brilliant
will pick up all your messages tomorrow night thanks for all your help

Spouse is Nellie Stevenson.

Children:

Nope, no children found at all. Even looking at the whole of England/Wales.

I can find nothing more about Rose A Stevenson - no marriage or death.

EDIT - well, I wouldn't would I - she is Hewitt!!

Julie

Feona

Hi Meg
Youre right already sent for 2 certs that were wrong
Feona

Rose is likely to be their daughter - name Rose A Hewitt mother's name Swift.

Margaret, why do you think informants can only be members of the family

Feona, the death that Julie has found, well it could be right or not. Unless the informant is a member of the family (and it seems you don't know her family), you wouldn't have a clue if it was right or not. So unless you have just won the lottery, I wouldn't send for that quite yet. Maybe if we come up against a brick wall with the rest of the family.

Hi Jan
Thanks for your help yes i thought i might try to find Elsie's family i found them but dident get much further
i dont know who rose is Phoebe's birth surname was Swift it is on Elsie's birth cert
Feona

It could be her but it would mean that she never married yes the birth date is wrong i would have to send for another cert
feona

There are a lot of Elsie Hewitt marriages! I wonder if you could try a more indirect approach? Possibly other descendants from the family might know something.
