World War Two / Re: Query ~ HMS Victory WW2
« on: Sunday 13 December 20 19:04 GMT (UK) »
I've just come across this thread while looking for some info and wondered if anyone on here might be able to help.
I'm A Commonwealth War Graves Commision (CWGC) Eyes On Hands On Volunteer. One of the graves I am tasked to look after is that of an Able Seaman John Beresford Wileman who died at HMS Victory on 22/06/1947.
I have found from another site that he died from some sort of illness but wondered if anyone had more information or even a photograph as there seem to be quite a few photographs on the thread.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Miggins
you have to already have it (the image) available online - either on a website or an Image hosting Site like Imagebam or Flikr
Then view the image in your browser - on imagebam you should see some code that says BB Code - that is for forums like this and will allow you to post a thumnail image that when you click on shows the full size image. Copy this code - press CTL/C
Reply to the post type in your text and then
Click on the icon that looks like a picture frame - and paste the url in between the img tags. (You might not need these if you use Imagebam you might be able to just paste the code in)
Have a look at my post earlier in this thread - it'll take you to Imagebam so you can see what I mean.
Just Updated to make the instructions a bit clearer - make sure you press Preview first so that you make sure it works OK before posting.

Hi Guys sorry I've not done this earlier but been very busy and only got round to scanning this on Saturday - I've not had a chance to clean it up yet but thought I'd post it all the same.
These are cropped from 2 pictures that appeared in the Burton Observer on the 14th July 1932
The caption reads... THE MELBOURNE STRAWBERRY SEASON is now in full swing, and the rain, which came at the right moment, has resulted in a good crop - although it's a fortnight late. The picture on the left is of a veteran of the gardens. He has been in the strawberry-raising business for 40 years. On the right, pickers are seen at work.
Unfortunately for us - the paper doesn't name any of them - If any of you can identify these 4 gentlemen It would be great - maybe they are members of our families.

Hi Guys
I'm a bit confused as the dates I have don't tally - your message mentions the 1891 census but...
according to the info I was given he married Mary (Langridge) 07/04/1861
and they had 4 children
Emily, Edward, George and Arthur
I was told William and Fanny's mother was Sarah Joines and that Dorothy (Bowler) didn't have any children but according to what you have mentioned above there are other children
Sarah, Ada and Thomas
As Sarah comes between William and Fanny we should be safe to assume that her mother is also Sarah Joines - If what I was told is correct.
Ada and Thomas come after George so they would be from Mary (as I said I also have Arthur born c1870)

Hi Ernest
I'll do my best - hope it makes sense - I don't have any evidence of my Sarah Sutton's marrying - I think we discussed earlier in the thread that it could possibly match but not 100% sure... anyway...
My Gt Grandmother was Mary Ann Sutton 1852 - 1931 of Hartshorne she married William Bloor 1851 - 1926 also of Hartshorne.
They had 15 children that I am aware of (I would hope there weren't any more for her sake)
Mary Ann's parents were
Thomas Sutton b 1823 Hartshorne and
Martha Wallis 1822 - 1890 Hartshorne
they had 3 girls that I know of
Hannah 1845 - 1916
Harriett 1847 - 1859
and Mary Ann
Thomas' parents were
Robert Sutton 1801 - 1882 Hartshorne and
Millicent Horsley c1801 - 1861 Melbourne
they had 6 children that I know of
Thomas
William b 1827
James b c1829
George b 1830
Mary Anne b 1833
Henry b 1838
Robert's parents were
George Sutton c1771 - 1826
Mary Cox c1770 - 1810
Millicent's parents were
James Horsley c1780 and
Ann Brooks c1780
If you can add or ammend anything please let me know.
regards
Glyn

Hi Jan
sounds interesting - do you have inscriptions for the Jacksons - I believe there are quite a few...
I keep saying I'm going to take a trip to look around myself - but maybe at Easter when it gets a bit warmer.
I have come into contact with a Jackson relation of mine - I think she has Tivey's in her tree. I'll ask her on Thursday when I see her next.
Where are you located now?
Market Gardening was one of Melbourne's main 'industries' It is still a concern but now with tractors and machinery etc I think the number of men involved is alot less.
speak to you soon

ernestly searching
the last Sutton in my tree is 1870 - I've only researched back and not come foreward yet so I don't know if these people in the census are connected - I guess there could be a good chance.

Hi Miggins
I don't remember if we've already discussed this -
I have quite a complicated little Dawson tree as part of one of my branches - They are not really anything to do with my family - there is a marriage between Arthur Dawson and Clara Jackson but Clara is not in my direct line, just a sideline.
William Dawson's father George who you mention was married 3 times I believe, William's mother was Sarah Joines and Arthur's mother was Mary Langridge.
I don't have much info on them - just what's been passed to me.
