Find Ancestors

I'm going to the FRC again on Thursday and will try to look up as many as possible of the requests I have on file from last time. Please note that this is NOT an invitation to more requests as I've enough of a backlog already, but if anyone who made a request last time has subsequently had it answered by someone else, please tell me so I don't waste my time finding out what you already know. Thanks, Michael

Eliza, Janine, I'm sorry, I think most of the records relating to immigration and emigration are at the National Archives rather than the FRC - I can try there but I can't promise that there'll be anything. Also Janine, do you know Kathleen's married name and estimated date of marriage please? It would help to know what name to look for in the records... :) Cheers, Michael

Hi Michael, Thank you for a very kind offer. I would be very grateful if you could look at the births and see if you can find Charlott Lee who was aged 9 years in the 1861 census. Her birthplace was not listed but this could be one of the areas in the southwest of London, e.g. Kensington, Notting Hill, etc. I realise this is a difficult search and if you do not have the time I will understand. Grateful for any help whatsoever. June.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the offer on my thread, here is my look up request again. NBI for Rotherham/Barnsley Please I am looking for the burials of Rebecca Raybould in 1888 aged 31 and of her children, Hannah Maria, William, John Thomas all from 1893 and Joseph from 1898 aged 21. All in the above area. Many Thanks Claire x Many thanks, Claire x

Hi Michael Thanks for the advice about the Kerleys - I will have to get to Somerset somehow. Perhaps it would be possible for you to find the record of two births in London: MARY ANNE ROBBINS (sometimes recorded as Robins). Born c.1859 at Clerkenwell, daughter of Robert and Elizabeth Robbins. Robert was a cheesemonger. THOMAS CLARK Born c.1857-60 St. Lukes, Holborn/Clerkenwell/City Road area, son of William and Elizabeth Clark. William was a tobacconist. I realise these are very common names, but I would be thrilled if it is at all possible to find them. Once again, many thanks. Jane

Hi Michael If you get time could you look for births of Elizabeth Bennett in 1854/1855 in Plymouth/Stoke Damarel in Devon thanks in advance, Siobhan

Hello Michael - I would be grateful if you could look up the following for me: Death - somewhere between 1940 and 1947 - BUSHELL William or Robert * died at Wark Crescent, Jarrow on Tyne. I have put * because I need to tell you that he was bapt William and appears as William on early census returns, but suddenly calls himself Robert, so I am not sure which name his death would be registered under. He was born approx 1969 so I expect him to be in his 70's at time of death. Many thanks, Margaret

OK... all messages so far have been noted. 24 hours left for any late requests as I don't intend getting up early enough to check them before I go!

Hello Michael, if i'm not too late could you see if you can find birth reg of Frank Lush b 1884 in West Ham London. Thanks in advance and All the best Mike

OK, deadline reached. Gosh, what a lot of requests. Thanks everyone. 8-) I can't guarantee that I'll get through all of them - the FRC does close at 7! - and I can't guarantee success on the ones that I do try, but I'll do my best.

OK, been there done that. As expected, some successes, some failures and some I didn't get time for. Apologies to those who got in first, as it ended up being not so much a case of 'first come, first served' but 'looked like an easy one to search, first served'. I'll reply individually rather than on the thread, hopefully within the next couple of days.

Even if mine was not one of those you were able to look into I would like to thankyou for your kind offer Kathy
