United States of America / Re: William 'Bill' Tredinnick 1946-200?
« on: Friday 31 October 25 12:43 GMT (UK)  »
That's weird. The whole message appeared in yellow when I pressed 'Post' !! Here it is if I can remember the exact wording:
'I am getting in an argument about his death. He was a writer and movie collector from Dallas, Pennsylvania. The only obit I can find (https://erblist.com/erblist/hallofmemories.shtml#tredinnick) says, as you will see, he died December 2004, but the only such death I can find, on SSDI etc., is for a William H. Tredinnick jr. of Dallas, PA who died 7th January 2005.
Trouble is some contacts, like the chap who wrote the obituary, will not accept the 2005 death  but the 2004 one which came from a reporter not official sources. Can anyone provide evidence to prove them wrong ?'
By the way, thanks Shelly for the obituary.
Regards
John

Thanks amauryco.
Sorry I haven't replied before, too involved in other things.

Australia / Jennie/Jenny Watt Tanner and Daughter
« on: Friday 28 March 25 12:50 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help me with any info about this late 19th century Australian actress and her daughter Katherine. I know the daughter died in England in 1962 - death record suggesting she was born c1881 - having married William Rolf Bennett in 1912. That is basically the sum of what I can find in positive facts about the two women, although it is possible Jennie ( if  her name was not a professional one for the stage) was born c1858.
I can find newspaper articles mentioning her acting, but nothing biographical.
(Interestingly Katherine was a writer as Katherine Harrington, and that name appears on her marriage record)

Thanks

The Common Room / Re: Harry William Stanley Slinger

Just to add both daughters, Myrna and Joyce are deceased.
Harry Slinger had become Rex Drummond and they too had become  Drummonds when they married - became Weedon and England. Both appear to have sons still living, born in the sixties.

The Common Room / Edward John Pilcher - why no GRO records ?
« on: Wednesday 14 August 24 15:35 BST (UK)  »
According to the Probate Index, this person died 6/7/1941 in London and that is that. Cannot see a GRO record of this death - or any other record apart from electoral rolls, including 1939 Register. He died Bayswater and there is a John Edward Pilcher who dies Paddington  Sept quarter 1941 aged 79. Could this be him though he is Edward on electoral rolls ?

Other Countries / Re: Urania Burnett
« on: Friday 12 April 24 13:50 BST (UK)  »
Source of the full name, unseen by me, was 'Wright's Chronological Bibliography of English Language Fiction in the Library of Congress through 1950 (Boston: G. K. Hall, 1974)'. Author is listed in the unknown nationalities section, nothing else known except her book, under a pseudonym, was published 1901 -
"Penelope Dalrymple
        rn: Urania Burnett Sunderland. "That Wager of Dot's." Abbey
(NYC), 1901"

Must admit I am asssuming she was West Indian as the apparent only appearance of a possible maiden name is in records relating to the area.

Other Countries / Urania Burnett
« on: Thursday 11 April 24 13:40 BST (UK)  »
Born Barbados 1864, her birth record is the only one I can find. As the only visible possibility I can find, I need to know if she became the Urania Burnett Sunderland living c1901 of no known location I can find. No trace on Ancestry/Family Search etc.
Any way to trace her further ?

Thanks

The Common Room / Alan Herbert Rowland
« on: Friday 22 December 23 17:16 GMT (UK)  »
This is a rather vague query as I can only find one instance of the name and no idea if he is my man.
I can find no BMD records for him, and have no idea if this chap is English.
The only record found is an entry on the 1929 London electoral where he is living at 2 Princeton Mansions, Red Lion Street, Camden with an Elsie Maud Rowland - no definite other records for her and no probable marriage found. And nothing apparent on passenger lists.

Any help to identify him would be appreciated.
Thanks
John
