Cheshire / De Koning and Underwood in Sale
« on: Thursday 01 December 16 00:01 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to trace any information about a Willem De Koning a Dutch National born December 1918,

In 1943 he married Florence Hardman formerly Hennerley Bucklow 8a 595
Florence has  since died, but the couple had two children:
Removed in Sept Quarter 1944 ALT 14A/29
Removed in December Quarter 1951 ALT/29A/30

Florende married again in 1957, but no death found for Willem.

More name and dates removed

I am searching on behalf of a descendant of Willem De Koning who is trying to find out where Willem disappeared to and if he is dead(very Likely) but no death registration found

Willem was being trained as an SOE operative from 1941, but dropped out of training in 1943.  There are some papers at the National Archives about his time working for SOE but these are closed for 72 years until 2019..

Does anybody have any knowledge about Willem's descendants who may be able to shed light on what happened to Willem?  I have checked Electoral Registers, Social Media and current phone book with no luck

De Koning is quite rare in this country, but very common in the Netherlands, so some family knowledge may help with further clues.

Tameside Local Studies and Archives Centre is a newly built facility on Cotton Street in Ashton and in 2006 Maureen Burns ran a Cotton Street Working Group.

She wrote an article in our Local History Forum's Magazine History Alive Tameside about a Peep into Cotton Street.  It is on page 38 of this on-line PDF version of the magazine:

Maureen stills works for the Library.

Northumberland Completed Look up Requests / Re: 1851 Census, Fullwood family, Newcastle
« on: Thursday 14 January 10 11:41 GMT (UK)  »
I have found your Robert living with his family at Bilston in Staffordshire under the name Fullward, rather surprisingly under the name OBERT.  He is living with his wife Sarah who was born in Newcastle, with children:

William aged 22 born Wolverhampton
George aged 20 born Wolverhampton
John aged 18 born Wolverhampton
Joseph aged 16 born Wolverhampton
OBERT aged 12 born Newcastle upon Tyne
Thomas aged 10 born Newcastle upon Tyne
Samuel aged 6  born Wolverhampton
Mary aged 4  born at Bilston

Father Joseph says born Bilston and he is a Blacksmith, so are his first 4 sons.

I also have the family in 1841 living on Chapel Street, in the Walker Township of Newcastle upon Tyne. Joseph is a blacksmith and his eldest son William is a labourer in the Iron Works.

Joseph Married Sarah Blackburn 18 August 1825 at Saint Nicholas, Newcastle upon Tyne.

I feel almost 100% certain that this trail leads back to a Jsoeph Fullwood baptised at Bilston in Staffordshire 6 June 1808 the son of William Fulwood and Mary not the one baptised at Sedgely a few years earlier.   The facts and ages fit the one from Bilston. Then I get stuck.

Have you seen the following website:

www.fullwood.org.uk

This is a wonderful FULLWOOD website created by Dave Fullwood who is related to the BILSTON, FULLWOODS.  There seems to be some notable FULLWOODS in History and a fairly distant link to Shakespeare.  I have written to him to check where we link in.

Can you let me have the contact details for Lionel Fullwood?  You were the first person I contacted since I have only been doing this family since last weekend.  I can send copies of the census images if you PM me with your private email address.

The Common Room / Re: Hugh Wallis IGI WARNING VIRUS - Updated

Message for Hugh

I use your wonderful website all the time, especially with my students. I teach them to use the gazetteer on GENUKI to locate nearby parishes and then to go to your site to find all the examples of their surname in the locality. It really does demonstrate the difference between patron subs and batch numbers input from the controlled extraction programme.

It works like magic and you should see the WOW! factor on their faces.  I really hope you manage to get a positive response from Rootsweb soon.

best wishes :'(

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Re: Hyde MI's/1841 census - David Metcalf d. 1848

Message to Shaun J and Ambly,

I did some look ups on lots of the new baptisms and marriages found of the IGI last week and sent off some e-mails last night.  Can you confirm whether you got them or not, since I am having trouble with AOL again and some of my mail has either been ending up in my spam box or in the ether somewhere.

PS Nouchke is my Belgian nickname

Cheers,
Gay J Oliver, Stalybridge, Cheshire ???

World War One / Re: Are any of these lads your relative?
« on: Monday 15 October 07 11:59 BST (UK)  »
Hello Madpants,

I'm not a regular contributor to this forum, but a friend led me to this post.  I run a website all about Tameside Local and Family History and have a few other items concerning WWl on my page including the names of 300 men missing from the war memorial in Stalybridge and lists of returned prisoners of war and would be willing to add your post and the list of names to my site to bring it to the attention of other people.  These items would be such treasures for relatives.


It would also be wonderful if eventually you thought of donating this or a facsimile to Tameside Local Studies and Archives Library to add to their Manchester Regiment Archive for future generations - just to make sure it never gets thrown away.

very best wishes,
GAY

Hello yellowfurbaby,

Just browsing through the Cheshire Archives and found your interest in Robert Stanley Hawley.

I have plenty of information about Robert's father John Stongi'th'arm Stanley plus somewhere in my files another living descendant of Robert's.  The STANLEYS were my husband's maternal line and I have done lots of research about them.

Please get in touch.
