Surrey Lookup Requests / Re: Baptism Newington, Lookup please
« on: Tuesday 12 October 10 02:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi Eyesee,
Yes he was the Henry Griffin that married Letitia Bullard and he was a plumber too.
That is just fantastic, thank you so very much. It is always great to have another name to research.
Cheers

Surrey Lookup Requests / Baptism Newington, Lookup please
« on: Friday 08 October 10 22:46 BST (UK)  »
Good morning,
Is there someone who can look for the baptism of Henry Alfred GRIFFIN for me please.
According to the 1851 census he was born in Newington, Surrey and was 46 years old, which would mean he was born about 1805.
Looking for his parents names.
Many thanks,
Bumbelina

Hi OlgaD,

This is a longshot I know, but my gr.gr.grandfather was a Thomas M. Beresford.

I have not been able to find his birth as I have insufficent information, and as he was washed overboard and his body not recovered, there was no death certificate.

He was born around 1845.

So, I am wondering if you know what happened to your Thomas Major Beresford?

Many thanks,

Bumbelina

The Common Room / Re: portrait painter
« on: Sunday 25 January 09 02:03 GMT (UK)  »
Hi CMS

Thankyou for that.

He ended up selling artist supplies and (I think) painting pub signs and the like.

It is an extraordinary name, occupational apparantly!

Cheers

The Common Room / portrait painter
« on: Saturday 24 January 09 21:09 GMT (UK)  »
Good morning,

The 1830 Pigot's directory has my 3x gr. grandfather John Brothill as a painter

of portraits and ornamentals in Holt, Norfolk.

In a later directory he has become a painter, plasterer and glazier, so probably not so good at portraits!

My question is, how can I find out if he ever painted anything of note?

I did once try 'googling'  Brothill artist, after which my computer needed some
serious repairs!

Any help appreciated

Hi EileenI,

Yes Bambridge was her married name so it won't be her, but thank you

anyway, as you never know, she may fit in somewhere.

Please excuse my ignorance (I'm a dumb Kiwi), but what are A.Ts Transcripts?

Regards

Hi Wozzle,

The 2nd one in Cawston may be her, just going by her age.

Many thanks,
