wow, thank you SO MUCH for the info- and that was super quick!!!!
That's great info too. Of course- I should have realised the census wouldn't be available at that stage for the WW2 era. Thanks for reminding me!

Amazing effort. Thank you heaps and all the best with your own research.
Cheers

Rosie :D

Hello,
Some ancestor/ relatives lived in st Asaph around the time of WW2. William F Roadknight died at age 80 in 1939 and his wife Deborah A. Roadknight, or Dora, died @ 90 in 1946.

This is the sum total of info I have about them in Wales at this stage!
Prior to that they possibly lived in the Isle of Wight.

Anything at all would be of great interest- perhaps if anyone has access to the census records around this time and wouldn't mind looking them up, it would be fantastic. Or newspaper or cemetery records......I live in Australia and only have online access...

William was originally from Aylesbury, Bucks., in England while Deborah was from Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire.

Thanks in advance to any kind family historians out there!
Cheers
Rosie

World War One / Re: Fromelles missing - Walter Pheasant

Hi there, great to hear from you. Yes Walter Pheasant is one of those buried (appropriately) at Pheasant Wood. I understand his remains have been identified and re-buried. I have not been able to establish a connection from our Pheasant family to his (yours) as yet so it may be either non-existent or further back along the family tree!
Our Pheasants came from the Billington, Bedfordshire area in England and my great-grandfather, George Pheasant, left England at 17 and moved to South Africa. Eventually he married and then travelled to NZ for some years and finally Australia where he pioneered a farm in the Millaa Millaa region of North Queensland.
George Pheasant came from  a very large family, however, and I am not certain of all their movements and their ancestors' prior to that time (around 1897). I know I came across the Farnell Pheasants during some of my earlier research.
if you think there may be a connection or would like help researching please feel free to contact me again as I have quite a bit of info about various Pheasants from some years' research.

Hi, I am a Pheasant descendant living in Australia but am not sure whether our branch is connected to this Walter Pheasant who died at Fromelles. Is there a living descendant who wouldn't mind chatting via email to try and see what possible connections there may be? There are very few of us in Australia although many families in England. Our branch can be traced back to Bedfordshire.
Thanks!
