Dear Barryd, I to have looked at those names but could not make a connection the information of Family search was supplied by my mother in law from what the family had always been told Hugh was not consistant with his age on his army record it states born 26/8/1882 Middlesborough the family thought his birthday 24/8/1880 but even these years have been changed when he was a seaman he gave his year of birth as1881, 1879 one even has 1868 that must be an error  I think.
Thank you for researching Hugh is a mystery so far

Help please I have been searching for many years for the birth of Hugh Mayer supposed to have been born Middlesborough  1882 father John a mason mother Elsie Gordon he married 1902 South Shields to Mary Archer he was a seaman and ended up living in Australia I can not find any record of his birth the Hugh Mayer born in Wolstanton is not him that Hugh died an infant. When Hugh remarried in Aus he gave his fathers name as Joseph.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Henry VISTIRIN - Corset maker
« on: Thursday 04 January 07 05:43 GMT (UK)  »
Dear Chasbaz, thank you for the information that was more information than I have been able to find in 10years of searching hence I always put aside my Vistirins in the too hard basket. One thing I live in Australia and I do not seem to be able to find any information I can access on line on the denization records or proceedings of the Huguenot Society.
I am thrilled with the information of the 2nd marriage I have not been able to find that listing how did you find it. ?
Once again thankyou for taking the time to help.
Jean,

He was a corset maker I found a John Vistirin as a corset maker in London but cannot find any birth records for this family, Vistirin does seem unusual I found a Sophia Vistirin marrying  1814 Samuel Lloyd at the same church prior to this I cannot find them in England does anyone have any suggestions.
Many thanks

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Christopher Collier of Yorkshire
« on: Saturday 22 April 06 11:14 BST (UK)  »
I am having trouble locating Christophers parents LDS state born 1807 Father Richard Collier mother Ann Mawman of Norton near Malton Yorkshire, there is no source to the information and there seems to be a difference in his age from one census to the next the birth year alters from 1804 to 1811 he also lists Norton and Falsgrave as his birthplace on different census, I can find a Christopher Collier born 1812 Whitby does anyone have any suggestions on what else I can try.
Thank you Jean West
