Hi Daisy, Thank you for your assistance and determination to provide a solution. I have no additional information past my great great grandparents of John Beaverstock/Baverstock and Elizabeth Simmonds. Isaac's baptism/background seems to be mystery, unfortunately I can only determine that John came to Wales, Pontypool (1881 census). Again thank you very much. Sian

Hi all,

I would appreciate any help with a family tree mystery in association to isaac baverstock, his son being John Baverstock who eventually marries Elizabeth Simmonds of Radstock. Later they move to south wales (possibly due to coal industry).

I am desperate to pinpoint Isaac Baverstock's parents and siblings (dob: 1804-1811). I am not sure whether he was given a baptism, was a bastard child or one parent remarried.

I have seen potential links of Newport Monmouthshire, Bristol and Isle of Wight - due to various relatives being in the brewing industry, early investment in GWR and being in the navy. I have no idea how to solve this frustrating puzzle, any support will mean so much. Thank you

Hi,

Walter Gay was my Great Grandfather's brother. So I am 100% certain of his parents and his siblings. Walter was not Walter E Gay and the 1911 census you chosen is not the correct one.
But thank you so much for your support and inquiry.

I was looking for information about Walter's military records, as I am a complete novice, hence my request.

Take care

Hi Jim,

A big thank you. The link definitely gave me a greater insight of Walter's duty as a soldier and the battle he met. I will document this info and pass it on to present and future relatives.

I wonder if you can explain the medal card, the medals; sorry to ask but this is overwhelming at times but so interesting.

So, can I request/apply to 'a particular' organisation to gain why Walter Gay was rewarded these medals.   

Kind regards

Sian

Ros,

What a lovely surprise about the head stone for Walter Gay; it is a tear moment as my eyes did fill up. Very moving and I am truly thankful to the volunteers who took the photograph.

Take care. Sian

My great grandfather's brother was Walter Gay died at the POW hospital in St Quentin, France on 04/06/1918.

He was a soldier (private) for the 10Th Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment, army number 204026.

Sadly, Walter's existence was never mentioned within our family, living relatives are puzzled by this.

Being a complete novice, I have a copy of his death certificate, but where can I gain any other documents connected to this young man who fought for our country.

Plus I would like to know whether Walter Gay has a gravestone somewhere; maybe in France, Gloucestershire.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you
