Hi Pete.

Thank you for that, I didn't see the first message about more information as I could have told you that he was listed as working for the company on the 1911 census but nevertheless you have found him anyway.

I have had contact with Biker and am awaiting the information and hopefully the photo from him but I know he is busy so I just have to be patient.  The photograph of Sydney would be the only photo I have of this side of the family.

I know they eventually found and identified Sydney as a I have a photograph of his Commonwealth War Grave headstone from the wargrave photographic people but it is nice (if that is the right word) to know what battle he lost his life in as it enables me to continue to build up the social history of this side of the family.

Thank you for your time Pete, it is most appreciated.

Ali.

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1871 Birmingham/Aston lookup for Mary Elizabeth WOODMAN please
« on: Sunday 17 April 11 19:58 BST (UK)  »
Hello Dave.

Sorry for the late reply but I haven't been on the site for a while.

Unfortunately, since I posted these messages like you I am unable to find any link between the Great Rissington Woodmans and the Frocester lot.  Samuel seems to have appeared in Frocester out of thin air and as I am sure you know is the first mention of a Woodman there.

Which branch of the Woodman clan do you belong to?

Ali.

Hello Biker.

I don't know if you still look at this thread (hope you do) but my greatgrandfathers brother is listed on the index.

Surname - CROW
Initial - S (SYD)
Rank or position - PRIVATE
Regiment - 2nd Wiltshire Regt
Entry Key - P, O
page - 163

I was wondering what information the entry has and whether there is a photograph and description of how he was killed perhaps.

Thanks in advance

Ali.

Essex Lookup Requests / Alfred Jackson, Hornchurch Cemetery
« on: Tuesday 10 November 09 19:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all.

I wonder, if someone is passing or lives near to Hornchurch Cemetery, would they be so kind as to take a quick look for me to see if there is a headstone for an Alfred Jackson .  The grave reference is 2925a in section A.  It is an exclusive grave so there might be a headstone.

If it is possible to post a transcription of it that would be great.

Thanks

Ali.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Robert Crow in Saskatchewan
« on: Monday 07 September 09 03:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi again Jeff.

Yeah, the machine is something that converts the film into a format that can be sent via email and it is in for repair.

I'm looking for any information about him really.  He was such a brick wall for a long time for me.  Despite the fact there is information about him on the net as you can see I found quite a bit on my own but for ages i didn't know where he was to start looking.  The only thing I knew was that he seemed to disappear after the 1911 census in UK.

I think he married Ellen who was postmistress of Salter post office (Salter from what I can find used to be somewhere between Biggar and Battleford off the 4th Highway.  Robert is however listed as single on his attestation papers with his next of kin as my great grandfather (wonder why he didn't put his parents down as they were still alive then) yet on the entry for his return to Canada in 1919 his next of kin is listed as wife, so sometime, somewhere, between 1915 and 1919 he got married but I can't find a marriage for him in the UK. 

I have found an Ellen Crow heading to Saskatoon in 1916 listed as a returning Canadian
(can't work out if she is Dutch or Scottish though, handwriting issues) but she was born in Canada and is travelling with a six month old child also called Ellen Crow.  I have found a birth record for an Ellen Crow around that time in the UK (she is listed as being born in England) whose mothers maiden name is Kemp.  So I don't know whether you can find out anything about Ellen Crow too, she was born about 1888.

I do really appreciate your help Jeff and that of Lilibell too of course because Wiltshire in England is a long way from Saskatchewan in Canada, bit too far for a day trip to the records office eh.

Email address sent as requested.

Hi Jeff.

Thanks you so much for that and the photo of his headstone too, which as you say confirms his identity, being as he appears to be the only Robert Crow in the 53rd Battalion CEF according to the Attestation papers. 

I am awaiting an email from Lilibell with the obituary report as the library machine was broken or something so they are sending it snailmail to her, but if you have the time and are going anywhere that may have any resources then I would love to have any information you may be able to find.  Would you like my email address or just keep an eye on this topic?

Thanks again Jeff.
