London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: George John Potter b 1879 in Dagenham Essex died 1952?
« on: Tuesday 06 March 12 14:45 GMT (UK)  »
 :)Hello
Thank you for the contact.
I remember Alfred James Potter, he was my father Arthur Bernard Potter,s older brother,but I am sure the family always called your father in law James not Alfred. My dad always visited his brothers on Boxing Day every year with my two brothers Brian and Alan.  Are you in contact with any of the other Potters?
Regards

Avril

Hello Mort 29 and other researchers who have helped on this search.
We have today received the Birth Certificate of
James William Darvell born 22nd November 1872 at St Pauls, Hammersmith  Middx
parents:
William Darvell      Labourer
Fanny Darvell,    formerly  Dodd

So we were right we did have the correct family all along and we will now look for the marriage details to then order the marriage certificate for his parents.

Thank you again  for all your help.

Thank you very much Mort29 you have been extremely helpful and we do appreciate all your effort.
It looks like we could not find them because of the difference in the spelling of the name. I will have to be more inventive in the future.
We think you are right and it is the right family
Thanks again.

Thank you again for the information.  We will find it difficult to do as you suggest because we live in South Western France so do not have access to that kind of information really. 
I have looked again at the 1881 census records on Genes Reunited which  is where we do all our searches and they are both still coming up as not found.  I have tried changing the spelling and place of birth etc but have not been successful at all.

Thank you again for your help.

To be honest I do not know I had not thought about a different spelling of the surname.  We had worked out his d o b by the age on the 1911 census so it could have been December 1872, Is there any sign of his parents on this registration? Or am I still playing a guesing game?

Thnak you very much Mort 29  you can see why I am reluctant to add the William Darvill family to my family tree especially when there is not a James William listed there. 

I cannot seem to find my granfathers parents well not for sure on any of the census records.

I really do appreciate all the help this site has given me today and recently but my grandfather does seem to be rather elusive and I bow to your greater knowledge as I am rather new at this.

Thanks again.

Yes thank you for that I asked last time about the previous partner with the child Alice who then dissappears and he married Emily Lydia Bainbridge.   I still cannot the trace him any further back that is why I have asked for you help again.  Do you think he has used his other name?  If so I still cannot trace him back very far even as a William.  I just want to be sure I am tracing back the correct James William Darvill.  I would appreciate your opinion as to should I continue with the William Darvill family even if it is not clear that James William is part of that family.

Thanks for your input.
