Ah I think I have it now

NAA: K47, W1985/19689

Is it the one where he says he is a Canadian national? that would make sense as he was in Toronto in 1969

Hi

Still struggling I click the top link no joy there & then tried the link further down the page. That just took me to a blank page so I copied & pasted the full URL into my browser & got this after clicking on an image on that landing page, however if this is the one you mean then it not the same man.

This record says Derek Michael Crowther born 1941, not seen Michael mentioned before but more relevant is that Derek Bell Crowther was born 05 July 1936

CROWTHER Derek Michael born 29 December 1941; Enid Mary (nee Battrick) born 26 July 1942; Nicolette Ann born 13 August 1963; Mark Derek born 3 December 1966; travelled per aircraft departing UK on 30 July 1970 under the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme

Hi

I have just got the Holloway Press stories, he mentions about his father doing Puppetry at the Palace & I see he was a puppeteer at one point.

 That name change in 1971 the first of many, you say he went to Australia about 1972, apparently he was in a drag show called Facad in Toronto in 1969.

However I wonder if the reason for the initial name change in 1971 was to hide the fact that he had a criminal record which would probably scuppered his entry to Australia in 1972

Maybe the old man was fearful of the authorities finding out & deporting him, which could have lead to the successive changes of name.

Hi All

I wonder if anyone with Ancestry could take a look at a family for me. The family I am interested in is CROWTHER the head is CUTHBERT BELL CROWTHER born 1902 & HIS WIFE WINIFRED CROWTHER (NEE RAMUS) born 1901 Winifred parents were James Ramus & Jane Ramus (Hall) they were from the Islington area of London. They had a Son Derek Crowther born in 1936 who is shrouded in mystery.

I am keen to know if any trees (there are 10 apparently) have Derek Crowther born 5th July 1936 London in their tree & more importantly what information they have on him, in particular, if he married, had any Children, where & when he died, these are crucial questions I am trying to get answered, It's frustrating because I only recently closed my Ancestry account. Hope some kind soul can assist me. Thanks in advance Ed

Hi All

I want to join FindMyPast short term to get some parish register information. I don't want to pay by card as I know what they're like similar to Ancestry for repeat billing / recurring payments.

So I was going to pay for a month using Paypal but when I clicked to buy it I did not like the language used (pasted)

Pay with
•   Halifax Building Society XXXX
By clicking Agree and Pay I confirm that I want to use Halifax Building Society XXXX for my current and future purchases with Findmypast. I authorise Findmypast to charge my PayPal account for such purchases and I instruct PayPal to pay such amounts. I understand this lets me check out faster by not having to log in to PayPal to complete my purchase. I understand that if I have a PayPal balance, that balance will be used first and that if my preferred funding source has expired or been declined, PayPal will charge my backup funding source. I can change my preferred funding source or cancel this authorisation at any time in my PayPal Account. The payments will be treated by PayPal as pre-approved payments as specified in the PayPal User Agreement.

Does this mean that they're saying that I am giving them permission to take repeated payments through Paypal?

Hoe some can answer.
