As I can not see my previous post I will try again
I am stuck with Ivor Noel Blake, born 25/12/12 in Hull.
He came back from Australia in 1932 travelling with George E Blake aged 59 a Decorator from 2 South View, Queens Street, Withernsea. who I presume was his father, so I then start looking for George Blake b1872c no trace, no marriage, nothing other than a headstone for the Hohenrein family with the Blakes on it ??  So I started looking for Ivor N Hohenrein and found a match, so went to father George and he was a Hohenrein too.  Now on his marriage to Rosetta Fry in 1895 it says that Georges father is a George Frederick Hohenrein a Butcher, so he is the one you have mentioned on here, but you all say he only had 2 sons Charles and William, well I think George is another one but he was a Decorator ??
Am I right or on the wrong track ?

Hi, I am looking for Norman Arthur Clarke, who I think was at 90 Herrick Rd,loughborough, but that seems a very large 5 bedroom house for one person.  If you can through any light on that iwould be very grateful

Hi all you turnbull researchers, can I join in too please.

I am looking for William Turnbull born abt ond 1870 in Cramlington, (according to the 1871 census) his father was Cuthbert and mother Mary.  Oh and siblings of John Arthur b1866 and Ann Margaret b1869.

Now I have picked up the family on the 1881 census which shows Mary is now a Widow with 3 children.

To continue on with William in 1907 he married Henrietta Wood and they had a son Cuthbert in1907 and Alice in 1908.  In 1910 (Jan) they emigrated to USA and indeed are listed on the 1910 census living in Plymouth.  Sadly in Oct of 1910 Henrietta was badly burned and died, the two children were taken in by 'Aunts' and William  ? ? ?  we don't know what happened to him,  a lot of people have said he returned to England but I have no proof and would welcome any additional information you may have.

I have also tried to trace Williams parents and siblings, I believe his parents to be Cuthbert born 12th may 1839 in Chollerton and Mary Arthur born abt 1842 in Ridsdale

Williams Sibling Ann Margaret I think married William Temple and  John Arthur married Isabel Henderson.

But can find more information on what happened to William after 1910  -  Help

I too am looking for a soldier and his family who are on the 1871 census at Aldershot.
His name is James McConville, and Phoebe, and Ada who is 1.
I think he was in Canada and married there came back to England because in 1881 they are in berwick and heis in receipt of army pension, so can someone tell me how can find his army records if any existsplease

Many thanks

Hi Chris,

Thanks for that idea, but I presume it is a pedestrian precinct so maps won't go down to letting you see whats there.  I did find a very interesting site though so have taken the liberty of pasting it.http://www.hastingschronicle.net/1900-1949.html
I see that in July 1926 a very famous 3d and 6d store bought the plot, and soon demolished it so no chance then of seeing what the old buildings were like.
Thanks again for your help.
