Hi yes,

I've done this unfortunately i'm yet to find anyone with a Monica in their tree where it would make sense.

Thanks though!

Update on this I found out he was stationed with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers Regiment - Spandau Barracks.

Not sure if this helps!

Hi,

His name was Pius Carr, also known as John and Joe.

I'm not sure where in Berlin he was stationed he didn't say unfortunately.

Europe / Suggestions for Monica, Berlin Germany born around 1940
« on: Saturday 16 January 21 18:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

So i've been told that when my Grandad was over in Berlin with the Irish Guards he had a baby with a lady, called Monica in Berlin. 

I'm trying to find them with the hope of providing the information to my potential Aunt/Uncle on who their Father's family was/is.

I've got a photo of my Grandad & Monica that is dated June 1959 and they are at Cafe Stephani,Heerstr 22, Berlin.

I know she was German, and probably from Berlin, i don't know an exact age but my Grandad was born in 1939, so she's going to have been born around 1939/1940, a few years either side.

She's written on the back of the photo 'I love you so much, with all my love and kisses, your Monica'.

This is all the information i have and i don't know where to start as i've never had to do any research into anybody outside of the UK/Ireland.  Any suggestions on where to start looking would be great.

I've tried Ancestry with Monica, Berlin, 1939 (5 years either side) and can't really find anything.

Hi, i have since found the same website as somebody else told me to look.

There is an article on him stealing a pair of boots and getting put in prison.  He said his excuse for stealing the boots was 'that he'd been on the beer' so he was definitely a bit of a bad character.

Thank you for your help.

Family History Beginners Board / Alfred R Evans - Death 1961 at Memorial Hospital, Peterborough

Hi,

I have had my Great Grandad's death certificate arrive today, Alfred Richard Evans.

He died on the 12th June 1961 of a brain injury as result of a van knocking him over.

I have heard stories that he was a drunk, and he burnt all records and photos so i'm trying to piece together a bit of history about him.  I can see that he was living at Westwood Hostel in Peterborough at the time he died, but i can't find any references of Westwood Hostel in Peterborough online from searching Google and i don't really know where else to go.

Would anyone have any suggestions of where to look, I was wondering if there might be records of when he moved in to the Hostel and perhaps even a photo upon him registering etc (i know that's a long shot).

Thankyou for your help in advance, i didn't really know where else to look.

Dublin / Re: Loughlinstown Workhouse

Hi, everyone.

I wondered if anyone may be able to suggest something I may have missed. I have 2 questions, apologies its a long one.

I've searched irishgenealogy and the records show his mother Catherine Carr but no father is listed.

I sent off AncestryDNA on 28th December and also have emailed the parish where the Workhouse was to see if they have any more info.

Just so I'm sure, is there anything else I can try while I wait for the DNA?

Also, story has is that when my grandad was in the Irish Guards over in Germany he may have had a child with a German lady - we don't know for sure.  Obviously I'm interested in persuing this as i feel if there is someone they deserve to know about their father.

I know the potential mothers first name and a rough time period it could have been.  Is there anywhere that anyone would suggest looking?

thanks for your help!
