hi all,
I am Jenny from Iceland.
I am trying to find descendants of my great grandfather Valdimar Rognvaldsson born 1872 in Iceland, who moved to Grimsby in 1908, he died there in 1937. His second wife was Annie Linford born 1882. I have found one daughter, Annie Rognvaldson born 1912 who marries Eric Winters in 1937. If I am right Annie Winters born 1912 dies in 2000 in Grimsby. Now I am stuck, Can´t find anything on Annie and Eric after their marriage..if they had any kids etc. Anyone who could help.??? would so much appreciate it.
Thanks, Jenny

Hi Wozzle,
I think "marine/Marina" was male and very possibly the child of a single mother

Hi
Nice to see people from different Countries joining us. Welcome
On my site I did find the death in December 2000 in Grimsby.
It seems that was the Mother Annie E born 1882 and she died
aged 78 years. Its not the Annie child born 1912.
regards Sandymc
p.s. Annie born 1912 would have been Annie Winters at
death had she not remarried again?

Hi wow thanks for a quick answer. Marino F. was Kristinsson he was the son of Agusta my greatgrandfathers daughter in Iceland. She came over and had her son there, her husband was a Captain on an Icelandic ship. So he was his grandchild.. marino was a priest in Iceland and died in 1994. I also know that my great grandfather had two other kids Valdimar and Maren with his former Icelandic wife they both died as infants. Three of his kids died in Iceland Agusta in´73, Gudmundur in ´69 and my grandmother Thora Jenny in ´73.
My great grandmother and Valdimar Rognvaldson divorced in 1908 after my grandmother was born and he went back again to Grimsby and Married Annie Linford in 1909. Did not take him too long to find a new wife..LOL.. he Actually went to England with a British trawler, he was escaping from angry icelanders, since he helped the british to fish in Icelandic waters to close to shore.. That ship Royalist H428 from Hull had a captain Nielssen who was sentenced to jail on bread and water after an incident were two or three Icelanders were killed. So My Great Grandfather was after that always hunted in Iceland and said to be a skanky man by the icelanders, thats why my great grandmother wanted to get rid of him..LOL..But I am told by familymembers that he was a very handsome, hardworking man that accepted to work for this Nielsen for good money, he had at that time three young kids and a wife to support and times were hard in Iceland at that time.
So now I just really want to know if this Annie Rognvaldson later Winters half sister of my grandmother had any kids with her husband Eric Winters. Also if anyone in Grimsby might have known them. she seems to have died in 2000. Not that long ago.
I have always been so curious about what Valdimar was doing in Grimsby. And now I am dating a british guy from grimsby, who has been living in Iceland for many years. last year I went with him to Grimsby to meet his family. and will do again this summer. Would be so great if I could locate and meet any relatives of mine as well over there ;-)
So thats the story..
All the best, Jenny..

Hi Wozzle - you may be correct re Marine F B - (his second name is "Fred") he was b Hull Yks
It may be worth Jenny looking at 1911 census (we are not allowed to post details (copyright etc)
I can only find birth reg and 1911 census for him
Also purchasing Eric or Annie Winters death cert may help - it would give informants name -which may be a daughter/son or relative -although I can't find any Winters/Rognvaldsson birth regs

Thanks again, you posted while I was writing. all happening fast here. So glad I found this site. ;-)
Yes, you are right,, Annie born Rognvaldsson 1912 died as Winters in 2000. She seems to be his only living child in UK.
Now I get while I am having so much difficultiies in finding information on living relatives, had no idea those kind of information were some kind of a secret.. LOL.
Here in Iceland this is so easy you just go online and with a click of a mouse you have all relatives living and can trace them back centuries.. Can even check if my facebook friends are on my friendlist ;-)
Wow thank you so much for all.. this is getting very exciting ;-)
-
Hi again,
Thanks for the correction of the deaths Suzard.
I used to be good at maths once - laugh
Still it did say her surname as Rognvaldson
so never bothered adding it up lol.
Surely Annie would be Winters so they have
made a big boob.
Interesting story Jenny and hope you enjoy your trip
to Grimsby.
I also looked for any children for you but cannot find
those two names put together for a childs birth??
Jenny its called the Data Protection Act here in the UK
so you dont get spam, or anyone being untoward

Thanks,,, I found the record of Annie Winters (Rognvaldsson) death in 2000. I am going to order the death certificate online hope that will give me a new lead. Thank you so much for that info. ;-)
-
got the certificate but no lead. A nephew of her is listed as the informant. i.e George Robert Kewley When looking up his name he seems to have died in 2003.no other records of him. . ;-/ yet another wall in front of me. Might just need to go and visit the care home se died in in 2000. But wanted to thank you for the info about the death certificates.. would not have known less you told me. Thanks. ;-)

Hello,
Maybe finding the family of george Robert Kewley would help
This looks a possibility for his birth reg
George R Kewley
Sept qtr 1934
mother's maiden name Linford
Grimsby
7a 798
Suz
-
There is this marriage reg
Leonard F Kewley
Lily Linford
Sept qtr 1933
Grimsby
7a 1748
so these may be George Robert Kewley's parents
Possibly his mother (Lily Linford ) was Annie's sister???
Suz
-
There is a marriage for George R kewley Sept qtr 1973 Grimsby 3b 888
I cannot find a death for his wife and \I cannot find children b to this couple
It may be worth looking in Lincs phone book for Kewley's
It may also be an idea to trace Annie's family - Linford - as there may be someone with information about her
Suz

Do you have these dates for these deaths?
Valdimar Rognvaldson age 67 died 13th March 1937.Buried on the 17th March
Annie Eliza Rognvaldson age 78 died 25th December 1960 Buried on the 29th December.
Both are buried in Scartho Road Cemetery Grimsby
-
I think Suzard could be right about Lily Linfords sister being Annie.
One of the witness's at the marriage in 1933 was
A.Rog( )valdson
-
wow you are awesome. ;-) It gives me something to work on in my search..
Thank you so much. xx

I am back again with my research on my great grandfather. I have been busy having a baby in 2013. ;-) But in the last post, someone suggested (thanks) I would get Annie´s death certificate. And I did. The informant on the certificate is George Robert Kewley - b.1934- d. 2003. He is said to be her nephew. I found out his mother was Lily Linford. I am trying to figure out how the link together. Annies mum, Annie E. (wife of Valdimar) is born Linford. Now my search is to see how they are related. I am guessing wife of George Robert Kewley is still a live because I find the marriage in 1973, but nothing more. And if they had kids, they are living and in no records.
-
Congratulations on the new baby.
Lily Linford married Leonard Faragher Kewley in 1933 one of the witness's was A.Rog() Valdson.
