Hi, I think that the Elsie Booker that is mentioned here is my grandmother. I never knew her maiden name or the name of my grandfather. My granddad died just after I was born.
Hi Cindy - I think we have some people in common!! I began researching this after the birth of Noah for his Dad. :) I am Noah's mum's, brother's, fiance! (A&A)  :)

Take a look at this link.
[Ctrl + F] to search for term "Migration" (c.1830's) I haven't looked into it but it might help to explain travel of people out of Cornwall within the UK and abroad.

hope it starts you on the road so to speak.

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Re: John TRIGGS
« on: Tuesday 08 October 13 09:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi PartyDancer
Just to say I am recently descended from a Triggs family (my grandmother) in far West Cornwall (draw a rough line from Camborne to Falmouth)
If I can be of any help (though Liskeard is a bit further away) let me know.
The OPC link you were given is a great resource.

London and Middlesex / Re: Brandon family of London
« on: Saturday 28 September 13 15:45 BST (UK)  »
Hi Suz
I have managed to find a snippet of info about Elizabeth (nee Polley) - that she IS likely to have died in Bournemouth after moving from London to run a hotel with Charles.
I can't find a record on freebmd for Charles Brandon in terms of a death.  The only one in the surrounding area is the Isle of Wight in 1965 which gives an age of 75 years and would tie in with  records for a Charles birth of 1889 Amersham / 1890 Kensington or 1891 Luton perhaps??

I think there is a possibility of Charles being shot in Burma during the (1st) war and being brought home injured.

That looks promising in many ways as the son moved to Bournemouth too.
I only knew her name from the marriage and surname from son's birth record.
So at the moment other family members is a blank.
Thank you for your help.

Hi MooGoo
I am researching the Brandon family in Middlesex area of London for an in-law.
I don't know if we will find a link but I thought I would say.

I am really stuck without a marriage certificate for CHARLES BRANDON & ELIZABETH POLLEY (married 1933 Edmonton 3a 1619 (Oct-Dec) as I don't know their father's names and therefore cannot be sure where they were both born.
I can't be sure of an occupation for father's either, so the 1911 census is not helpful to pinning them down yet.

I'll keep a look out for your names/dates as and when I get there!

the 1911c says the head and wife had 8 children born to marriage.
I'm thinking that an older son may have been Albert j h's father and that Albert was not living with grandparents but visiting.
This might explain why Dora is single not married... She may not be his mother but an aunt.
Although "Hampshire" seems an unusual name unless it indicates his father. ?!?
I think I need the birth certificate for Albert to be sure.
thanks for the records and advice... Much appreciated x

Wow thank you for your help, it certainly gives me a starting place.  I really was stuck with no names to search for.

I think Dora (his possible mother) may have been Agns Dora Booker.. but it doesn't look like she was married.

I may come back to you... :)

Sussex Lookup Requests / Request for info: Elsie M WALDER / Albert J BOOKER, Midhurst area Sussex

Hello
I would be grateful if anyone could spare a moment to look up a marriage for me.

Groom: Albert John ("Hampshire?") BOOKER
Bride: Elsie M WALDER
Married: Apr-Jun 1936 (Midhurst 2b 1190)

I would very much like to confirm 1) their age / dates of birth and 2) their father's names and 3) (if poss) their middle names.

I am completely stuck as the birth records for Elsie on freebmd do not tie in with other suggestions and the one birth record that matches the area/date appears to tie in to a death record the following year.

I am searching for ancestors of Rosemary (b.to a Walder mother) and I believe these two people to be correct parents.
