i wonder if anyone can help me track down a lost relative?
William Lewis Cross a marine fireman married Ethel Etty Walters in Sculcoates in July 1918. there was a son, Frank L born in 1919. It appears Edith died in Sculcoates in 1922. William returned to Canada and remarried. Know nothing of the particulars of Edith's death or whatever became of son Frank. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I couldn't find a death for Edith in Hull/Sculcoates in 1922, do you have her date of birth?
-
Sorry, Edith........Ethel is another link I'm tracing
-
I found 6 possible marriages for a Frank L Cross, 2 in Hull.
I couldn't find a probable death for him in England and Wales though.

Hi 2ron2
I think I know the answer to why there is no death for Edith in Sculcoates.
I am trying to find out some more details about her and Frank, so I will be in touch, most likely by PM as soon as I hear back from someone.
Regards

Hi Ron
I know this is some years ago of this posting, but did my friend make contact with you.
I am back researching his family again, my comp got a virus and I lost info, my friend in
NZ his comp also crashed and lost his info I had sent him, so hence the reason why I am doing it all again.
(Folks, always back up your computer and if possible keep paper records too)
Ron please contact me please.

It appears Edith did not die in 1922.
She remarried too - Edith E Cross married Wilfred J. Mawer in Dec.qtr.1927 Sculcoates
She lived to a grand old age - Edith Etty Mawer born 11th June 1894 died January 1995 Hull (a tree on Ancestry states she died in Cottingham Rest Home, Kingston upon Hull).
Son Frank Lewis Cross born 11/6/1919 died 1/2/2009 Hull. From a tree online he married an Ann Elizabeth Fieldhouse in 1940 Hull (she is shown as born 9/1/1918, d.2011 Auckland, New Zealand. Perhaps the other marriage in Hull (1967) is him too and he and first wife divorced??

I have the information that you’re looking for I will forward it within a couple days

The original post was from before I joined RC. Arrived today to find the name of my Gran staring me in the face.
Edith Etty Mawer was my Gran - step grandmother actually. Wilf was a widower with one son when he married her, and her son Frank and my Dad grew up as brothers. Annual holidays in Rolston were where we, as kids, met up with Uncle Frank and his wife and two sons.
I'm sure Ron has most of the family info by now from Michael (I sent him a load of pictures a few years ago), however if he or anyone else wants further info, please just ask.

Rolston Camp Bryan, Hornsea...there was a song wasn't there.."We are the kids of Rolston Camp, Rolston Camp, we go to bed without a lamp, without a lamp....or something similar ;D

I've not heard the song, but know of the camp. My Grandparents wooden bungalow was across the next field to the north. It's still there, though the shed in the garden where they used to sleep has gone, and now (google maps) is enveloped in trees. The camp's gone as well, and a lot of land between the bungalow and the sea. The camp had built proper wooden steps all the way down the cliffs to the beach - very useful for us holiday makers.
We could stand on the back doorstep and watch the children at the camp.
Only visited for 2 weeks each August. My grandarents had moved out to there from Hull during the war.
