OK then... Apart from said problem on Dad's side, I'd like to learn more about Mum's GG uncle who left Herefordshire and went to New Zealand c. 1859.
He married a part Maori lady, so meeting up with their many descendants and learning more of their culture would be fascinating.

My Margaret had an affair with an MP got kicked out by Bernard Meninsky and went back to Ireland where she died in child birth:((((

Martyn I love a bit of scandal and a good rumage :-D I have something simlair on my dads father side his Mother ( my GGrandmother) was widowed at 29 she re married 18 mths and names 2 different men as father on each cert I have searched just incase I have got the wrong marriages but too no avail its her alright ... :-S

Not really up on War stuff, but could it be he was scared of being sent back, had the nazis visited his town or village?

pain in the bum Hayley lol xx

To answer Gwyn either .....like Rose I'd like the trip to Ireland as Ithink they came over from Dublin possibly during the pototoe famine the dates match, I do find the women interesting but would like to see what I could dig up and I would like to see the bits they add, her father was a tailor and Sparks isnt a tipical Irish name, and they are bit brickwall :)

RS that sounds interesting... :-D

I would ask for help with my 4th great grandfather on my mums side Abraham Nowell. We have been searching for his birth for years, several possibilities but they all seem to have be claimed by someone else.

Although I think even WDYTYA would be stumped with this one. I have almost given him up as a lost cause.

:-S

I would ask for help with my maternal grandfathers side. He was half Swedish, half Latvian, and destroyed his passport, birth cert and naturalisation papers.

mmmm

i would want my little nan on my dads side

but also my granparents on my mum side

If I was getting the trip it would be the Irish line :-D

Would this be for interesting story.... or for brickwall-hope-to tumble- line?

I have sat for hours in a Record Office looking for parents of my 3 x great grandfather, so wonder how they could get past that hurdle of about 14 years looking.

Gwyn

l think l'd go for my grandmother on my fathers side Margaret O'Connor:)
