Hi Celia
Very new to this searching (what do you mean you can tell) looking for my great uncle Robert Davies information i have on him is as follows, in 1920 he was living at 24 Picton Road Wavertree Liverpool.
He was working as a chauffeur he was married to Anne and he originally came from wales i have not got a birth certificate for him and he is proving very hard to trace.
Any ideas or help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
-
Valerie,was he a family driver,(cant spell shuffer,)or for hire with the car?
Cheers,Goggy.

Hello Goggy
To be honest i have no idea, these details were given to me by Dr Bernardo's when i started to trace my mothers family.
I think he moved back to Holywell which is Wales in later life but i am not really sure.
On finding details about Roberts brother and sisters i don't think they had a lot of money so i am assuming Robert worked for some one unless he was hell bent on working for his self.
regards Valerie

Valerie1,
Picton Rd would have been fairly up market ,no 24 would be the townward end.Would Anne give you any leads,should think also that a car,would need some of the usual bumf(paperwork)attached to the adress,even then.
More work!Cheers,Goggy

Do you have any idea of Robert's age? For instance, was he a young man or a grandfather in 1924? Do you know the names/dob of any of his children? Lancashire BMD lists several marriages between Robert Davies and Anne Something, but that's no use if he was married in Wales!

Hello groggy & Manchester Rambler
I think Robert was born in1892 0r 1893, i am waiting for a birth certificate as we speak, but Rhys registrar's office have moved and they have staff shortages so the wait is long and if my luck is anything to go by it wont be my Robert.
I know his children were called Wesley,Margaret and Bobby this info was passed to me by a cousin of my mothers who i traced to Australia unfortunately he died last year with out me gaining any more info.
Robert had one brother and five sisters i have found all there birth certificate ext one who was Gwen and of course Robert.
I have no idea where he married but know from my source in Australia that Anne who i think buy now must have died moved to Hollower.
If there is paperwork for the car etc i have no idea how to obtain it, I contacted Liverpool Council a few months ago but they could not help at all.
I need to say something else as well as you can see, i posted this message in January and i poster a similar message on the Welsh site looking for Roberts family, and another person, contacted me to cut a long story short he said he had found Wesley (Robert's) son. through the electoral records, and unknown to me he went round there, I could not believe it its the last thing i would have wanted if i had an address for them i would have written introduced myself and seen what came of it.
The contact said he would only give me there address by phone as Wesley wife was not happy with her address being put over the web (understandably).
As i would never ring anybody i did not know so it looks as though i have lost the chance to correspone with my Mothers family.
Aha well such is life.Sorry for the novel

Hi Goggy,
You have appealed to my literary side that sounded very poetic.
OK back on the trail have written to two local news papers to try and find Wesley,may be try and find a way of looking at the electoral rolls myself.
Did try looking for telephones Numbers this morning on line , came up with one, W Davies in Hollwell, suppose i could try writting to the address with a short note as you don't give up Have printed off your reply got it stuck by my screen.
Thanks Valerie

Hello Goggy,
I have found them its all thanks to you and your pep talk,
The newspaper letters worked and one of the younger family contacted me by e.mail, and they asked me to ring them there were all excited and i have spoken to my mothers cousin and my second cousin.
And one of my mothers direct family, their son lives not 10 mins from me, and another is in to family history and wants all my infoand they wii share what they have.
I want to thank you , I would say from the bottom of my heart but sounds a bit dramatic, but i am ecstatic and i would have given up unless you had'nt given me a kick up the backside.
Happy Easter
Valerie

I'm looking for a couple of sisters, Frances Downie and Margaret Viant, née Downie from Liverpool. I think they were probably born mid-1890s. The addresses I have for them: for Frances, Liverpool in childhood, later on 72 Constable Gardens, Edgeware, Middlesex, England, and The Camp, Eleanor Crescent, Mill Hill, London NW7; for Margaret I have Lorraine, Eleanor Crescent, Mill Hill, London NW7, and 21 Beaulieu Close, Twickenham, Middx, England.
Any help gratefully accepted.

"1920 he was living at 24 Picton Road Wavertree Liverpool."
How are you able to locate Robert DAVIES at an address in 1920?
-
Hi Abhanliath
You have "hi jacked" a 23yr old post that has no relevance to your own FH.
What exactly are you looking for? If you are looking for their FH - then you need to start a new post on the Lancashire board detailing exactly what you want help with & what you already have so we don't waste time duplicating info,
If you want info relating to their lives in Middlesex then you need to post on the Middlesex board
-
I don't know what an FH is. I don't know where the "Lancashire board" is. I haven't hijacked a thread, I've answered it with a Liverpool-related enquiry.

FH = Family History
This post was originated by Valerie1 in 2005 & relates to her Ancestor Robert Davies - please read page 1 of this post
Your post has no connection to Robert Davies hence my reply
Here is the link you need to the Lancashire board - click on New Topic to post your request
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/lancashire-lookup-requests/
And to the Middlesex board
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/london-middlesex-lookup-requests/
Please do not post the same request on both boards. See my reply above & decide which board best suits your enquiry
-
If I knew how to go to the different boards, and how to originate a new post, i'd do so. Unfortunately I don't.
-
No problem - just see my previous reply - it has the links you need
-
All my Davies are now accounted for
Sorry I did not realise the question wasn’t related to
My post from years ago
Good luck with your search. everyone’s is so helpful here I have been helped so much
I’m for ever thankful
-
Thanks very much, Valerie. I'm glad you've found your people.
-
No problem - just see my previous reply - it has the links you need
Thanks, very helpful. Can you tell me, in case I ever need to use this again, how I find a list of the areas covered by RootsChat?

Here is the link - scroll to England Counties 1851-1901

Thanks very much. I'm going to open a topic in Liverpool called Liverpool Lambs now.
