Ayrshire / Re: Gilmour of Kilmarnock Ayr
« on: Friday 15 March 13 13:11 GMT (UK)  »
thanks, I know the father's name now, he died in 1980. He was Campbell Hamilton Gilmour 1928-1980. Campbell was born in Riccarton.  I have ordered Campbell's birth certificate, as I can't work out his parents names, it could be another Campbell Hamilton Gilmour, but am not sure.  Campbell Hamilton 1928 married in 1953 to H S Templeton.

Looking for details of the following family back to 1911 census.

R* H* T* Gilmour born 1957 in Kilmarnock.  I do not have the parents name, but the name Campbell has been mentioned.

Can anyone help me?

thanks everyone.

Can someone lookup the following for me (I believe they are all children of Letitia Folly):

Joseph Folly born 21 Feb 1842 in Stokenchurch
Daniel John Folly born 14 Jan 1845 in Stokenchurch
Susannah Folly born Dec 1852 in Stokenchurch

thanks to Steve for finding William Witney-Folly born 1847 to Abraham Witney (Blind from birth) and Letitia Folly. Abraham never married.

Thanks
Emma

thanks Steve. This is the right family. Arthur John Medus was William Foley's son in law and Henry Seymour Foley his son. They lived at 20 Layard Street for many years.

You have lots of information :) would you by chance be able to check the parents of Edward Victor Foley born 24-aug-1919 in Camberwell?  they should be William John Walter Foley (William's son brother to Henry Seymour Foley) and Ethel Dais(e)y Wood. I have ordered the certificate to be sure.

Thanks again, you've made my day!

wow .. thats really interesting .. I think I may have to order his certificate.

Where did you find his birth/baptism as I couldn't find online, but then I was looking under Fol(le)y.

I suspect that he changed his surname to 'get away' from being illegitimate and as they do when they don't know (and even sometimes when they do  :)) change the name of the father.

thanks again for all your sleuthing on this, its really appreciated.

thanks everyone.  Yes Bledlow and Chinnor are minutes apart.

He married in Camden in 1867 to Mary Ann Townsend and have struggled to find his birth.

the latter in 1847 in Wycombe seems possible, as this could be Bledlow .. does it give any more details, parents names? 

I now know his father to be John Foley a Turner in 1867.

Thanks

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Foley from Chinnor or Bledlow
« on: Friday 31 August 12 22:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I need a lookup for Chinnor (or Bledlow, Bucks)?

William Foley (could be Folly, Folley etc) born about 1845 in Chinnor - or so it says in both 1871, 1881 and 1891 census. He died by 1899 in the Bermondsey area.

I'm trying to find his parents and find out if he truely was from Chinnor (or nearby) as I cant find him on the 1851 or 1861 census returns.

Thanks
Emma
