Hi, I am still registered and haven't changed my email address.

I would be happy to help any way I can, however I have drawn a blank with my great-grandfather's parents.  Perhaps you could communicate with me directly and I can send you what I have so far.  The main problem is that there are so many Bureau's with the same name.  My email is sprog@gmail.co.za and I look forward to hearing from you and who are your parents, grandparents etc.

Hi this is a long shot due to time of the last post but I am also looking into the Bureau family tree. My great grandfather was also Charles bureau and after receiving his marriage certificate i now know his father was Jeremiah bureau. I can't seem to go any further in the family tree and I am well and truly stuck. Any help would be great
Thank you

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Help with 1911 census please

Thanks Jim1

Did you find Tommy Bureau (Bureaw), who would have been 11 years old in the 1911 census?  I have searched the census again with different spelling but it still says no records found. Can you tell me where they were living in 1911 please, which will help me with my search when I am there. Tommy was my Grandfather.

I thought it would be easy to find ancestors with the name Bureau as I thought it was an unusual name.  Wrong!

Thanks to all who took the time to reply to my query.

I am visiting the UK in May so I want to make time to visit the areas where I hope the records are kept, but I now have a starting point

Thanks again.

Family History Beginners Board / Help with 1911 census please
« on: Wednesday 13 April 11 11:47 BST (UK)  »
I have "lost" my family between the 1901 and 1911 census.  The Bureau family of Charles A, his wife Margaret (nee Griffiths) and children, including Charles Jnr, Tommy, Beatrice, William, Benjamin (and more) are all included in the 1901 census. I think their address was Cardiff Road, Aberdare. Charles Snr died c1904 and it seems Margaret remarried in c1910 but I don't know to whom.  Perhaps the children took the step-father's name? Can anyone help with Margaret's marriage details which may help me trace the rest of the family, or advise where the family was in 1911?

Thanks lidb

My great grandfather is definitely the one born Sheerness as shown on the 1891 and 1901 census.  The 1901 includes all his children, including my grandfather, Tommy.  I may have traced my GG grandfather and my GGG grandfather, thanks to enormous help from this website.

I now would like to trace the female side of the family so I will be begging for help again soon!

Hello Jeannie

This is excellent infomation, thank you.  I hope that these are my relatives, with so many names the same, and Bureau being a common name (although we never thought so until we started looking into our family tree!) one cannot always be sure.

I am looking forward to hearing from you if you can get a translation.

Monmouthshire / Looking for Charles Bureau, born Quebec +/- 1823
« on: Friday 11 March 11 13:01 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you Paula.  I am now looking for Charles Bureau, born Quebec about 1823, married Jane Jones 1850. I am hoping "andipandi" gets in touch as they probably have certificates etc.   I have found out more about my ancestors from this website today than I have through other sources in the past 6 years!
Thanks to all who contribute their time and expertise

I have just found loads of information from AMBLY, thank you, and it all makes sense to me now why my grandfather, Tommy Bureau, didn't say much about his father, Charles, - he must also have been confused!

I would love to hear from andipandi because if this is the same Charles Bureau as theirs, then we are obviously related.
