I have a common prayer book in not too bad a condition - could do with a little glue on spine...

inside it says: Richard Henry ?Daugs? from his father Henry Daugs

confirmation 24th march 1931 "be strong"

cant read surname properly

anyone think it may be from their family?

Gill

Have you tried putting their name into "Search"?

Sue

theres no records coming up for that surname

It is difficult to work out the surname - I have tried changing the u for an n but still cant find the family


Gill

That sounds so lovely Gill.
I do hope you manage to pass it on to someone in the family.
Aren't we genealogists 'lovely peeps'? ;-0)

I have managed to put a photo on GR, it has part of the inscription showing the surname.

Had another look and looked at births. Could the name be Danger?

There is this birth:-

Name: Richard H Danger
Mother's Maiden Surname: Stranack
Date of Registration: Apr May Jun 1918
Registration district: Barnstaple
Registration county: Devon/Cornwall/Seilly
Volume Number: 5b

If so this could be his parent's marriage (father with the right name):-

Name: Henry M Danger

Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1917
Registration district: Barnstaple
Registration county (inferred): North Devon

I suppose it could be ... thank you for looking. I hope someone from his family will claim it.

Gill

There is only one person on Genes called Charles with someone called Richard Danger in their tree - but it is a Richard Danger from the 1700's. There could be a connection though.

If you put Richard Danger into the Quick Search boxes at the top of the page you will find this person and can send them a personal message.

nudged for anyone who missed it yesterday, I am trying to find the family for this book so I can send it on.

Gill

Hi Gill, did you try contacting 'Charles' as mentioned by Kathleen above? It is very unlikely anyone else connected to that family will see your message. Cx.

Yes I have sent a message to Charles this morning.
