Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Help find Felix Leonard Chatter
« on: Tuesday 03 February 15 16:52 GMT (UK)  »
Realise I've come onto this quite late but I've just been re-researching "Felix Leonard" for the Tynemouth World War One commemoration project. http://www.tynemouthworldwarone.org/

The newly released Register of Soldiers Effects names his mother as Elizabeth Fell, brother in law as Maurice Long (his sister Kate married Maurice in 1903) and names two brothers James and George.
I'd certainly concur that he is indeed Frank Lennon Chatter

Australia / Re: Can you find Arthur LIND in Sydney c.1860-1880?

I know I'm replying to an old post, but Arthur Henry Lind was the son of Edmond George Lind (next down on the 1896 ER). Anna Maria is most probably Arthur's mother (but not proven).
They all died in San Mateo, California. Edmond in 1921, Anna in 1931 and Arthur in 1942.

There are quite a few immigration records in the timescales.

Carmarthenshire / Re: Photo of Frank Peers, father of Welsh singer Donald Peers
« on: Friday 03 February 12 19:27 GMT (UK)  »
I'm one of the amateur genealogists that has been digging around into this mystery. One of the (several) things that made me lean towards the possibility of Frank Peers having been born Alfred John Beer is this:

On the terrynorm site it mentions " For some reasons Frank Peers' employment by his father-in-law did not prove an ideal arrangement and he applied for and was given a job as a clerk in a sawmill in Ammanford". On the 1911 English census Alfred John Beer is staying with his brother Austin Harry Beer in Ash. Alfred John's occupation is a clerk in a timber merchants. I'm guessing his brother recorded him under the name he had always known him as.

Also, in 1911, Mary Peers and the young Donald are staying in Ash with Henry William & Ellen Jane Court. Ellen Jane nee Beer .......

At first I thought my theory may be a bit far-fetched, now I don't think so.
