Hertfordshire / Re: Where have all the TIMBERLAKES gone?
« on: Tuesday 24 September 19 02:01 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I have been researching a great uncle, Jack Robertson, who died in WW2 in the UK where he was posted with the RCAF. He spent the last week of his life with a Bessie Timberlake, mother of Ralph and Mary, in Watford, Hertfordshire. They would have been related in some way to his uncle Bowman Whitcombe Timberlake, the son of Reverend William Timberlake and Emily Balfour Moore, who married shortly before emigrating to Canada in the 1870s. William and Emily lived in and around Montreal, Ottawa, and Kingston in Canada. In a 1941 letter I have from Bessie to Jack's parent's, she mentions taking a day trip from Watford to visit her cousin Joe Timberlake's farm, which is either in (or is called) something that looks like "Nadoc" (or "Nastoc"?). I was wondering if anyone knew the relationship between William, Bessie, and Joe, and might be able to clarify the name of the farm. Many thanks in advance.
