Find Ancestors

err

DevonJon

you've done it again


Hopefully out of plain ignorance!



"Fully recognise you folks are locked in here doing great things for the many and in mostly thankless surroundings"




we are most certainly NOT locked in here



and we are most certainly NOT in mostly thankless surroundings



UNLESS that is you consider a house worth the equivalent of close to half-a-million pounds in one of the most beautiful cities in the world is "thankless surroundings" :-D



FYI ................ the people who help on these boards are members just like yourself, but with probably a little more experience, and certainly more knowledge of and access to other sites than most people who ask questions.


In no way, shape or form are we paid employees of GR ..................... GR does not employ any people who answer questions on looking for ancestors, apart from their Resident Geneologist Anthony Adolph, who has web chats at intervals.



We who help do so because we love this hobby, and love to pass on information to others, hopefully, they then learn enough to begin to know all the little sites to uncover ancestors.




and, also FYI

........... helpers will often post censuses or other information that the questioner says snootily "I already have", not to prove how good they are ............. but because we also need to get our heads around your family. You know everything about them, you've lived and breathed them as you try ot sort them out. We come to it cold. We need to get that "feel" that cna make all the difference in searching.



So, we are spending our own time, freely, sitting in comfortable surroundings in our own homes, spending our own money, to help others because we LIKE TO DO IT.



although sometimes I do begin to wonder WHY!

Hi

Really pleased to tell you that you've got completely wrong end of stick and not to worry or perhaps not to over react. Fully recognise you folks are locked in here doing great things for the many and in mostly thankless surroundings. Certainly not something that would appeal to me.

That was a classic moment of casting ones arms in the air and calling upon higher things to fix what shouldn't be such a blank for an event in the modern era.

Of course lots of advice has come in - I did stress focus is her death location in BMDs or similar simply because I have covered all angles folk have otherwise painstakingly related back to me and which risks others adding and thus it flies off wider or wrong.

Anyway. I did mark this answered as clearly (given absence of an answer) no-one could find her in BMDs under a clever spell change or similar.

Many thanks and keep up the good work

not too impressed with this statement of yours, posted above ....................


"This is hardly like am trying to hit 13th C...... somebody must be able to give some real advice????????????????"




we're busting our guts trying to find information for you, and you say "someone must be able to give some real advice"


really!

The only instances of the the surname Yahah on Ancestry are for David.

Rose

Not seeing children born the years you say.

I see the following:

1916 Basilio
1918/1919 Nagi
1920 Nagi/Yahah

The son died the same year:

Births Jun 1920
Nagi/Yahah David G Meyrick Cardiff 11a 1143

Deaths Dec 1920
NAGI/Yahah David G 0 Whitechapel 1c 265

Rose

Which of her children are you descended from, do you know any other descendants who might have clues? Was the son of Guy Yahah registered as Yahah but married as Meyrick, in which case there are probably living relatives.
? There are several possible marriages for the first daughter ? Gladys but have not found anything for the Nogi daughter.
Any Watt or Edwards children who might know something?

Ahh !

Apols. Not savvy with the jargon.

Pinged off a message. They not been active much of late and don't seem to hold much but worth a try.

Still going through world wide deaths. Nothing. This is hardly like am trying to hit 13th C...... somebody must be able to give some real advice????????????????

It is a private tree on ancestry - MacDonald/Kelly Family Tree , user name jokdy. If you belong to ancestry you can contact them through ancestry.

what does "with the board jokdy" mean ?

not my tree its not private on ancestry

someone with the board jokdy has a Private family tree on ancestry that has Matilda Elizabeth in it?


If this is not you, have you been in contact with that person.




sylvia

Well its 1937 so records I can see are not great. She does come home but I can't then ever place her.

I gather the last husband might have been a bit of a rogue..hence taking her name. No facts just rumours. But surely a death of someone between 1937 and upwards simply can't just vanish.

ho hum - what an amazing find that would be .

J

And she comes home and doesn't disappear overseas?

Ozi

Yes ozi...

Matilda travel with Francis Watt on 20 Mar 1936 Embark to Gibraltar or Port Said - living at time at The Kyles, St Michaels Road, Llandaff.

Locate travels upto 1937. Note the ship list says Francis WATT.

The address in Cardiff...is key stone with links back to previous husband thus confirms the right Matilda and Francis.

yep - done that and no obvious or subtle hint that this is same person she married. most likely is given the name / location but nothing extra connected with Matilda. I suspect upon her death he reverted to original.

I do have their 1936 marriage certificate ...It says his name as "Francis James Cecil Watt...otherwise Francis James Cecil Edwards" .."the divorced husband of Thora Edwards formerly Smith ".

Hence why I presume to look for Matilda under Watt.

Do you know what happened to Francis Watt/Edwards, and did they travel?

Ozi

Edit: Aha, looks like Patchem's found it.

If this is Francis's death, he does not use her surname:
Francis Cecil J Edwards
Birth Date: Jan 1907
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1976
Age at Death: 69
Registration district: Newport
Inferred County: Gwent
Volume: 28
Page: 0187
Get the certificate for possible useful information?

tricky isn't it

Yes - thats the one. I have the certificate and dates / parents / address from that. cheers
