The Common Room / Re: Des Longrais - serious help needed!
« on: Monday 31 July 17 13:12 BST (UK)  »
This is incredible!!  So many years trying to get anything before Auguste and you have cracked it!  I have found various bits over the years, but my schoolgirl French and lack of knowledge of French genealogy have been big barriers.

Marie did appear in the 1861 census with baby Marie (no Auguste) in Swansea.  I am trying to find that record again but it was mis-transcribed and I can't recall the name.  That was the record that stated a birthplace of Clermont (an upgrade to my tree software has wiped a lot of the media and detail.  I will get on to Find my Past and let you know what detail those records contain.

Some of the links are sending me to a blank page.
 
Marie's maiden name appears on all of her children's birth certificates. 
When my sister visited the records office in Port Louis, the obstacle seemed to be that we did not know exact location of the birth just that it was Port Louis. 

I can't thank you enough for all this information.

I am somewhat overwhelmed with all this info and don't know quite where to start.  My knowledge of Auguste starts when he arrives here. His daughters death cert states 'daughter of Louis Marie Auguste Deslongrais born at Port Louis, Mauritius 1840'. On his children's birth certificates in the early 1860s he gives his name as 'Auguste Durand Deslongrais' his wife was Marie Nebodon (Neboden?). I also have a record of him studying at the Inner Temple in 1855 which states he is the 2nd son of Henri Durand Deslongrais of Port Louis, barrister-ar-law.

The using of different parts of thei names doesn't help clarify things!

I can't see which of the records you have given me links back to these Durand Deslongrais, probably as you seem to have gone further back than any knowledge I have.

Does any of this tie in?  Are you connected to this family?

P.s.  My sister was recently in Mauritius and, despite visiting the records office in person, was still unable to get the birth or marriage certificates!

Wow David!

This is a LOT of information!  How did you find it all?  This is going to take a bit of piecing together to understand.  I know the family were Notaires in Mauritius.

I will get on to this tomorrow and try to see where all this fits.

Thank you!

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Weiner - St George in the East
« on: Monday 12 June 17 17:29 BST (UK)  »
I know - 2 Davids. Surely they wouldn't have but both on 1911.  I also can't find births for the names I do have.  My friends family didn't know the name Gluckstein, but did know Annie had remarried someone and had more children.

Thank you. They must be work further investigation!

Hi,  My friend's grandfather changed his name to Warner at some point. He married his second wife (coincidently Louisa Maud!) in 1984 aged 83! He died in 1986 in Redbridge.

I don't think that birth would be him as his siblings had fairly standard names (Hilda and David) and there was no suggestion in his family that he had changed it.  His father's name was Isaac.

The step siblings were called Janie and David according to 1911 census, so don't think they are the births.

I don't know her maiden name, but on the 1911 there is a Joseph Bock staying and he is down as brother in law.  May not be her brother, but a possible.

1911 RG14 sch 31 P 1501

Many thanks

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Weiner - St George in the East
« on: Friday 09 June 17 15:40 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I am trying to help a friend with her family tree and am stuck.  The Weiner family came to London sometime between 1896 and 1901 from Russia.  The first two children were born in Russia and Charles Weiner claims to have been born in St George in the East in about 1901, but I cannot find a birth record for him.  Father was Isaac, mother was Annie.  Siblings Hilda and David. 
They appear as step-children on 1911 with Mr and Mrs Gluckstein (Isaac died in 1907).  Any help to find Charles birth would be much appreciated.

Surrey / Re: Mary Emily Thomas - What am I missing ....?

Loads of info there - thank you.  But this still doesn't explain her marriage record showing her father as Francis, army pensioner and her address as 'Sialkote', the house they named after the place they got married (Henry and Emma that is).
