Boombox and Norfolk Nan

Thank you both so much. I never thought about a first marriage, so will definitely look into that, and I will also try to find out more about Daniel Boys and Ann Boys, they certainly look interesting!

I have been researching for over twenty years now, and keep coming back to check on my “brick walls “ it is amazing how much new information keeps coming online.
I recently solved two long standing mysteries.

Thank you both, once again

Hello rosie99

No, I haven’t seen the original marriage entry.
This is one of my “Brick Walls” that I have returned to try and solve.

Love to know her parentage.

Hello

Can anyone help me find this ladies birth please. She is one of my great, great grandmothers.

She married James Leach, 24/12/1812, at Milton Keynes. On 1851 and 1861 census she is stated to have been born at Milton Keynes. She is living at Ravenstone, Alms Yard.

I wonder if her name could possibly be spelled incorrectly ?

Thank you

Hello Again.

Really don’t think that I am going to find this guy’s parentage. So I thank you all for your help..

After adding the Newspapers to my subscription with FindMyPast , I found his case in the
Weston Gazette. I was pointed in this direction, by one of your good selves.

It is quite a long article, and I am not very adept at “snipping “ but the gist of it is,
He was having trouble in his love life. He had discovered that the girl he married “Bertha” was “not the girl he thought she was “ He was in love with someone else.
He was sent away, and advised to “settle up with her, and marry the one he wanted”. He was very depressed on his return.

I think that this is the answer to who his sister, really is. Our mystery lady Miss Eastham…….

I really don’t think, that the birth certificate I sent for is my man. Too young, so back to the drawing board. At least I will have the newspaper article to give my grandson ( when I have snipped it ) I went through every Charles Clarke in Islington this past few days, hoping to come up with something, but I was utterly defeated.

I really do not know where to go from here. I am now looking, again , for a Ralph , named on his marriage certificate.

So thank you, everyone for your help and expertise, in this mystery

My, You have been busy!

Thank you all SO much. I am so very grateful. I took today off, because I just didn’t sleep last night, thinking of all this.

I think it may be correct that Nellie was a paramour, and maybe why the marriage broke down.

Jonwarn. Thank you for finding those workhouse entries. Answaers a lot. I know that there son, Edward Stephen, was born and baptised in Islington workhouse, but had not found his mother’s details…Poor lady

Amondg !!
You marvellous wonderful person. THANK YOU. It seems you have found the certificate, that will solve this mystery. I have been looking for MONTHS for this.
My next task tonight is to send for it.

Can’t thank everyone enough for your help.

Jen,

To be honest, I can’t remember where I got that name from. I have been researching this family for a while, and this guy has driven me mad ! Perhaps I dreamt


I am now going to read the thread through again, perhaps something will jump out at me. I can’t remember where the birth in 1889, mother Lilian Nesbitt came from either…

Thank you for your input.

Thank You Shaun

I was just about to do that.
Just been reading all of his Military Records. I think it highly likely, that his wife was having an affair, and committed suicide because of it.
 I am really wanting to find his parentage

Back to the drawing board !

Hello all

Thank you so much for your responses. I don’t know where to start to reply ,

AndyJ2022

This is definitely my guy. His widow, Bertha, married Mr Hayward, very shortly after his death. Perhaps he committed suicide, because she was “carrying on “
I have met his son, Edward Stephen, who was born and baptised in The Workhouse in 1912. A delightful man. Long since deceased.

I am doing this because my grandson is confused. His father is the great grandson of Charles Edward, but he was adopted by his stepfather, so brought up with another name.

Thank you every one. Please bear with me, until I have perused all this info. I am 80 , so have to study every thing. The info about his sister is very interesting too. I never thought that my guy may also have been adopted/brought up under another name. I will be back!,

Hi There.
I am really at a brick wall with this gentleman. I just cannot find him before his marriage in 1908. The statements he gave at that time, come to nothing, so I am appealing to you guys ( and gals) for help.

This is what I have.
Charles Edward , committed suicide , whilst serving with The Army Service Corp, in 1915, at Weston-Super-Mare. From his grave, he is noted as Sgt Major, MS/1220

He married in 1908, stating his father was Ralph Clark , of independent means.
I want to find his birth, supposedly born 1884. December? Mother is supposedly Lily Nesbitt

I would really love to solve this. I am doing this for my grandson. I have been trying for months, so would appreciate any help at all. Would his service records state his parents, birth date ? I got all my information from Ancestry.

Thank, in desperation.
JeannieR
