Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: John Pollock born Lynn, Norfolk 1847
« on: Thursday 28 June 07 18:07 BST (UK)  »
Hi Barbara
JOHN POLLOCK BORN 1879 HOWDEN
Beverley Office has contacted us to say that there is no birth certificate registered there in the name of the above. As you say there could be misindexing somewhere along the line.

As you know, his father John Pollock is certainly entered on the census as being born in Lynn, Norfolk. The mystery continues.

I just thought I would let you know and to thank you for your efforts. I feel a bit defeatist about this one - not my usual style! May'be the Samuel Pollock born in Ireland has thrown me somewhat when my concentration has been mainly on Lynn Norfolk.

Hi Barbara
We have received birth certs. for both Beatrice and John Pollock.

Beatrice Pollock was born Howden on 13 Sept 1893 - her mother was Faithful Pollock who was a domestic servant. No mention of father. However on looking at the 1881 census for Gilberdyke/Howden, I notice that Faithful (age 12) is down as daughter of Samuel Pollock born Ireland and wife Laura born in Downham, Norfolk. They also had a son John Pollock born Gilberdyke who was age 2. Interesting in that we are stuck on finding a John Pollock born abt 1847 Lynn, Norfolk. Even more confusing is that Samuel was born in Ireland but was obviously around the Norfolk area - wonder if both families are connected in some way

John Pollock born Howden 1879: This has also turned out to be the wrong John Pollock. This birth certificate shows Samuel Pollock being the father (as above).

So it is back for me to the Register Office in Beverley to check if they have a birth for John Pollock born 1879/80 whose father is John Pollock Snr. On the 1901 census for Sculcoates, Kingston  upon Hull, John Pollock age 54 (born in Lynn) is a widow with son John age 21 and a daughter Beatrice age 7 both born Howden. I am wondering if this Beatrice is actually one and the same Beatrice mentioned above, where the father's name is omitted from the certificate.

Has anyone any info on the above. On 1901 census he was 54 years of age (born Lynn Norfolk). One son John Pollock born Howden around 1880 and a daughter Beatrice born Howden 1894.

I cannot trace a birth of John Pollock in Lynn, Norfolk.
Would appreciate help.

Glamorganshire / William Jones and daughter Sarah
« on: Sunday 28 January 07 17:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hi  I have been trying to find out information on my great-grandmother Sarah Rees nee Scott nee Jones.  Is there anyone connected to the family. Her parents were  William Jones, a Butcher and wife possibly Mary? in Merthyr Tydfil around 1842. They had a daughter Sarah Jones, born in Trallong/Llanwrtydd who married John Scott of Merthyr/Llanfabon who died young and Sarah married again to William Rees Innkeeper, Merthyr.
Sarah died 1890 in Merthyr.  In 1871 Sarah was the Head at the "Duffryn Arms" in Merthyr, I would be grateful for details of her parents and whether she had any brothers or sister.
