Suffolk / Re: Richard Watts of Lowestoft
« on: Friday 29 September 17 13:21 BST (UK)  »
AmisUK: I am interested in your ancestor being the brother of Harry.
I wonder if you have a family history for them as I have and am willing to share. I also have a wonderful photo of Harry with all his family,including my grandmother Irene Gwendolene, taken about 1911. It is the only photo I have ever seen of Harry and wonder if you might have any of his brother or them both when younger.
I have photos of Caroline from marriage every ten years approx but only the one of Harry.

Ciderdrinker:
Thanks for your info, you have more on Richard's family than I do as I was really only interested when he married Caroline, my Caroline that is. I visited Lowestoft and saw all the homes they lived in and found that Harry and Richard were almost neighbours.

Suffolk / Richard Watts of Lowestoft
« on: Saturday 23 September 17 15:10 BST (UK)  »
My great grandmother Caroline Hickleton married Henry (Harry) Howard. When Harry died she married Richard Watts in 1914.
I have all the information I need for the Howard family and know that my great Grandmother died in Epsom where she had gone to live with her daughter.
I have some nice photos of Richard and if anyone from his family would like to see them I am pleased to share. Equally any photos that someone might have with my gr grandmother on I would like to see.
I know that Harry and Richard were both fishermen and lived in the same street. Ironically Richard's 1st wife was also named Caroline.

Somerset / Re: which school would my grandmother have attended
« on: Sunday 23 July 17 13:25 BST (UK)  »
I must thank everyone who has replied to my query. I have now concluded that not ALL the Somerset schools are included after all.
Just trying to see which school she may have attended is a problem. When the school holidays are over I will contact all the schools suggested to me and ask if they are aware of any historical information and where it might be kept. I loved the school photo that seemed to show only boys.
I am always on a mission to find photos of my ancestors especially as most schools did take a yearly class photo and most families never owned a camera or could afford to go to a photographic studio.

Thanks again everyone.

Somerset / which school would my grandmother have attended
« on: Wednesday 19 July 17 15:46 BST (UK)  »
My grandmother was born and lived in Emborough at the time that she would be attending school at any age. Ancestry now have the school books for Somerset but I cannot find which school she would have gone to at any age. Or indeed if it were a small rural school would it have catered for all ages until leaving probably around 14 years old. I do know that it is in the Binegar and Emborough electoral area but cannot work out where the school would have been as Emborough is not included. I understand that ALL Somerset schools have been digitised. She would have attended from about 1901 to 1911.  The 1911 census does not state she is at school but also not that she is working. She was born in 1896

I have so much information do you know how we can exchange email addresses rather than putting them on this site?

Hi,
Yes I would like to exchange information.
My biggest mystery and great big brick wall was the information that Trayton was the child of James Chrismas and Elizabeth. James is already married to Sarah and has a son and has other children after Trayton but I simply cannot find out who Elizabeth is. The verger of Wartling church has sent me all the births and said it is definitely in the records as Elizabeth. Have you solved this one? I did visit the Keep records office and still found the same but no Elizabeth.

Derbyshire / Re: Francis H Smith and Charles M smith

Thank you for the information about Charles. That I did not know as up to a few years ago I concentrated on George who is my husband's grandfather. I have everything about the family but it really is that I want to see if anyone has any photos.
