Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: Stares family in Nursling and Shirley
« on: Saturday 02 September 06 21:27 BST (UK) »
Hi There,
I've just registered with rootschat (so I don't really know what I'm doing) but would you have a Charles Stares born in Southampton in 1865 by any chance? In 1901 he's living in Wimborne and is a railway shunter. I beleive he did end up being the Station Master. Charles adopted two children - Florence and Gwendoline. Florence's child is well into her eighties now and is a good friend of mine, she's asked me to see what I can find out about her mother and about the Stares family. At this stage I don't even know who Charles' parents were, my friend also seems to think he was one of quite a few children, had a sister who was a midwife (or nurse) and had connections to Nursling and St John's wood (London)
Kind regards Julie
