London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Orphanages - Southwark 1901

Hi Bermondsay Girl

Sorry for not replying sooner, but I also do not read Rootschat on a regular basis, but so pleased that you replied with further information. If I give you my email address then I think that would help in corresponding with you in the future, it is anneford1@live.co.uk. My Mother has not been well and she is 90 so any information I can let her have re her ancestors would be gratefully received. I will find out what I can from the information you have given me and revert back asap.

kind regards
Anne

Hi Bermondsaygirl

Must apologise as I have only just read your message dated September 2011. My Mother is 90 and her Grandmother was Ellen Florence Stamford, previously Yates, and her Father was William Gilbert Stamford, one of the Brothers mentioned in the rootschat notes. You have solved a mystery that we have been trying to solve for some years now i.e. what happened to the Daughter born in 1901, and I also have a copy of the birth certificate showing Father unknown. Would love to hear from you to find out more about the family. Hope you respond soon.

kind regards

Anne

Hi Everyone

Thank you very much for all the information and answers a lot of questions i.e. that Robert Kells married twice and had 2 families. His first marriage was to a Christiana Harper in 1859 in India - but we have been unable to find out if she died in England or India - or whether they just separated - final piece of the puzzle. Need to print off the pages and analyse the detail - so thank you all very much.

Hi Louisa

thanks for your quick response and will need to check out the details, we think he remarried so the marriage you found could be a useful lead. I will also try and find the family on the 1891 census which might confirm if the marriage is his - do you think this would be a good way forward?

thanks for your time - really appreciate it

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Roland Smith - 1901 census look up
« on: Saturday 06 August 11 20:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi Carolew

It is possible that he was born outside of the district. As mentioned I believe that Anne ( or Ann Smith ) was his mother and I have the census showing her living with her family in 1871 - aged 8 and born in Berry Edge. However, she is not showing on the 1881 census with the family - but she seems to return in 1891. It just seems a coincidence that the family story suggests she had a baby and she left the household and then returned, and then there is a Roland living in the household. Unfortunately her age differs on some of the census forms and her name is shown as either Ann, Anne or Annie so I have not found her on the 1881 census which may have given some clue as to where she was living and where Roland may have been born.

kind regards

Anne

Hi CaroleW

thanks for your message and your help so far - I checked out the Roland you found and do not think it is the person we are looking for as I believe his Mother is the Anne Smith showing on the 1891 census with him - story goes that she had a child out of wedlock and later on she married Walter Ernest Bray who is showing as her husband on the 1901 census. Seems a mystery as to what happened to him - so I need to look for his marriage or his death after the 1891 census if we cannot find his birth registered.

kind regards

Hi

I am trying to find out the best way to obtain the birth certificate ( or any other information ) re the following ancester:

Born - Cologne area ( or Soligen or Ettingshausen )

understand that he moved to the UK and worked in Savile Row as a Tailor
finally emigrated to South Africa around 1898 - 1898
he died in South Africa in 1962
he married Amalia Frankenberg in South Africa in 1899

Any information on how to progress this research further would be most appreciated
