London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Albert William Hoare Death look up please
« on: Friday 04 February 11 15:55 GMT (UK)  »
Dave,
Yes we are in St. Louis - Oliver and Ellen moved here from the UK, and my grandpa was born here.   When we were young my grandpa told us that the Hoare family had royal bloodlines and that once Ellen married Oliver Padfield - that she was kicked out of the royal family.  We always thought that it was just a story, but now we may be able to find out if there is any truth to it. 

Also wanted to tell you that I just found out that my older brother has letters written between Ellen and her mother.  He is sending copies of them to me.  Once I get them, I will let you know if there is any info. that may be useful to you.

Thanks
Don

Dave,
Thank you for responding.  Since your grandfather and my great-grandmother were brother and sister, I guess we are some distant cousins.  In fact, I may be a name sake of your grandfather.  Ellen's son - my grandfather and your grandfather's nephew -  was named Albert, and then his son - my dad - was Raymond Albert and I am Donald Albert.  It may all be coincidence - but you never know.  Thank you again

Don

Dave,
I'm sorry I don't have any info. on your grandfather, but I believe his sister Ellen was my great-grandmother.  She married Oliver Padfield.  I'm just starting my search and was wondering if you have any information on her.

Thank you
Don Padfield
