Find Ancestors

Don't wanna poke my nose in but I'm hooked on this!!

Death of Ansis A Mezits (born 5/11/1940)
Colchester
November 2000

Sue

Dionne

I have pm'd you the address of Ruth, weirdly the registration for the address still has Ansis's old records still attached... the Ruth i have found is only 34 so i would say it was their daughter....

Wayne, have you noticed that there are two addresses for Ruth M Mezits?Looked on 192 (dont have any credits) and double checked with living relatives on findmypast. Bit of a coincidence to be two different people? What do you think?

Brenda

i gave her the one that also had Ansis living there... i figured that was the most relevant one...

Thankyou Sue Wayne and Brenda.

I have had a long day at work today and feel slightly off colour.I will be writing to the addesses and will do this on my day off which is Thursday.

Do you remember weeks ago that I wrote to Shaftsbury Homes re my father and when he was placed there? Well I received an email today saying that they had found a 1 page admission record for my father. They requested my postal address so that they could forward it on to me. It should hopefully have the information of both of my fathers parents. Fingers crossed and when I receive the information you will all be the first to know

Ann... If you are about have you managed to go back to Kew yet?

Thanks again everyone for your continued hard work.

How exciting about your fathers record!

Am hopefully going to Kew tomorrow.

Oh Ann

It is all very exciting. I dont know how I am going to get through work tomorrow thinking about you at Kew. I willnot be able to find out anything on genes until after 6.30pm as I am working all day.So it is going to be a killer for me,lol.

Good luck and I will have everything crossed.

I do hope I find something - it would be just so disappointing if I don't!! Will report tomorrow anyway, so hoping to have good news! You could always ring me from work if you're allowed to - I don't mind!

Hi Ann

I have sent you a message

Good luck Ann, I'm sure I'm not the only 'watcher' hoping you find something..
Can't wait for tomorrow!!...
Best wishes, Jennifer

It's great to have people watching and hoping for my findings. Just hope there are some findings!

Hi, Ann you could be just the person I'm looking for. i live a short way from Kew, and would like to go to the archives but I'm a bit worried I won't know what to do when I'm there. Is it a busy place and are there plenty of people around to help out?
Thankyou Samantha.

And yes I have been glued to this thread. Can't wait for the Homes report to come :-)

Sorry everyone - I found nothing in the pension records today. I looked at those discharged due to disability and extended the length of my search into those discharged for length of service (the records I looked at the other day). I've copied his service records now, Dionne, so if you can please pm your address, I'll send them. Having now looked at his record in more detail, it seems a possibility that the Army may have wangled out of granting him a pension - the dates of his service are fairly complicated. I wanted to speak to THE military expert at Kew today, but he wasn't there. Spoke to another one, but he gave me false info and wasn't too pleased when I argued with him! Anyway, the real expert will be there on Saturday, so shall hopefully seek his opinion. If he really wasn't granted a pension immediately, perhaps there may be some correspondence about the case. So again it will have to wait a few more days!

Hi Ann

Guess who had to come home early and the first thing I do is get on the computer,lol
It all sounds very complicated about his service records.Thanoyu so much for his records. I dont surpose there was a next of kin listed on his records?
It will be interesting to see what the expert says on Saturday.
I will PM you my address now.
Many Many thanks Ann for all of your efforts.

Just to say that the only personal info on the records was what I posted the other day - parents and sisters.

Oh Ann... what a great shame but what a real gem you are to Dionne (and the rest of us).
Like Dionne, I just got in and my first thing was to check this thread.
Not my family I know but I'm really into this thread and know how hard all of you 'helpers' have worked to try and sort out Dionne's muddled family.
You should all give yourselves a pat on the back for your efforts......
Will still check each day and hope for 'developments'.
Kindest regards, Jennifer

Good evening

Just to let you know this evening I have written two letters.One to the family of Edith Livermore and the other to the family of the possible brother Edwin.

Dionne

If in your shoes I would probably include an SAE, they may be more inclined to write back then.

Really hope they get back to you really soon.

Nicki

Great idea Nicki.
I will do that and thankyou
