Canada Lookup Request / Re: Benjamin George Patrick Brooker
« on: Today at 02:33 »
That thread ...by Heb66... exactly one year ago today! JayQ, if you answer & make one more post people/relatives can personal message you. ( the wee scroll under everyone's avatar) You'll need another reply, so answering the above questions will  suffice.

Shropshire / Re: What happened to this family?
« on: Yesterday at 01:41 »
This thread actually inquires about a Thomas...but I do see what you mean...You're wondering if he's the father of Thomas & John. (Making sure this is an actual search & not a one name study researched by others)

Wondered if anyone could shed any light on this family? Thomas Ellis married Martha in Loppington about 1762. Martha died in 1776 and is buried there but as far as I can see none of the 8 children were married there.

Best to use the search above & look for previous searches as there are 8 threads for a "Thomas Ellis" & several mentioning John as well. Very frustrating to repeat searches, so please take the time to link them and not start new searches on similar subjects..

To add a wrench into the works...(I see no Loppington marriage for Thomas & Martha)
Martha Boot or booth b.1731 m.1755 Acton, Cheshire, England
 Cheshire Marriage Licence Bonds And Allegations
-Charles Ellis or Elliss  Christening  10 March 1756  Acton (near Nantwich), Cheshire, Eng.
   Parents Martha, Thomas Ellis
Note that Acton to Loppington is about 40 miles....Loppington to Wellington about 35

   Hello & welcome to Rootschat PJW! No gatecrashing was done. ;D  Your email address will be removed shortly, though. The main reason being that spammers would find it and you'd want to change your email address with all the incoming spam you'd get.
   There is a way to communicate privately, though... by clicking on the wee scroll under that person's avatar (to the left of their post).  Just hover over it to confirm where to click. They can also private message you as long as they have more than one post on Rootschat!
   In the meantime, there may be other surnames you are interested in. If so hit SEARCH in the brown panel on top of the page...type the names & location you are looking for and perhaps you can even add info to someone else's search.  All the best...J.J.

 1914/15   79th militia/17th reserve so I got all excited when I found a Thomas Davies in Brandon
census 1916 but sadly not him ( only b. England matches) unless all is topsy turvy...
 1916 CEF sign-up has him at Suite A - Cadillac Block / served Canada 5 months
 *1916  Red herring!  a Thos J Davies   carrier P O    h 138 Garry
  - coincidence!!! same name same job as he has later! But obviously not the same man.
 1919post-war CEF last entry info - has him living at 1025 Ashburn St
 1921 Clerk at *Eatons... living 939 Pine st. -  *directory
 *1925 Thos Davies   carrier P O   h. 939 Pine  *directory
 1926 1045 Pine street
 1931  1108 Ashburn  - mail carrier

*Wonder if he did have a middle name, though, as both his siblings did!

Apparently his son is also a do-all competitive type as well...

Red Deer has had several oil & gas booms which creates jobs in and outside the industry & has attracted workers from all across the country. Some move there permanently, some just go there to work in the summer.

Can you explain this previous post from years ago? Are you having us search for something you already know, but didn't share with us? We all make some duplicates but you have a lot of previous threads for this very same family to which you could have added this request.

I know my GFx5 was a Thomas Ellis who married a Mary Parton in 1786 iirc, Wellington, on their marriage cert is is signed by John Ellis, father or brother I presume. Trouble is there are 2 likely candidates, one born 1766 to John and Sussanah the other born in 1764 to John and Jane. To make things worse they both have brothers called John! One married Mary the other it seems married a Priscilla Carman. I know the Cadmans were in the area too. Unless I can find either in a census\death cert I think I,m stuck!
