Good evening Dave,

The same thought occurred to me. I will send you my e-mail address by Personal Message separately.

Thanks for your "thinly" disguised mail address !

Good morning Dave,
Thanks very much for your rapid response. Most grateful. It's always a satisfaction to find the answer to a question, even from 7 years ago !
I would be very interested in the other family information when you have the time - thank you for offering. If I can possibly be of any help with the Layfield side I would be happy to give you what I have on record.

Good evening Dave,

Many thanks for picking up this old message of mine from a few years back. I apologise for my late reply, but genealogy has been on a back burner recently and I needed to get my head back into it !

Looking back on my records, the question I have at this stage is what happened to Catherine in the end ? I have recorded now the emigration details from 1883, but her death is still something I don't have registered. Can you help me on this one please ? Date ? Where ? etc.

In case you are wondering, Catherine's grandfather, John Layfield b.1706, is my 5 x GGrandfather !
It's pretty distant, but explains the connection.

Looking forward to hearing back when you have a moment.

Best wishes,

Nick

World War Two / Re: COMPLETED THANKS: Royal Pioneer Corps - Herbert PATTINSON
« on: Tuesday 06 December 16 13:55 GMT (UK)  »
Good afternoon Jenny,

Thanks for your message. I think I can probably help you, but I shall have to get my head back into genealogy as I have had to put it on a back burner for some while. If you wouldn't mind giving me a helping hand, could you tell me what you know of Herbert's line, the name of his wife for example and anything further. You can contact me via a Private Message if you wish.

There is very probably a link which may go back to a common relative in the 19th century. I have quite an extensive history of the Pattinson family on file.

Regards,

Nick

Good afternoon Greg,

Many thanks for your message about Edna. I'm going to send you a Personal Message (PM) as we are, indeed, distant cousins ! I will explain with chapter and verse in my PM.

Thanks very much for picking up this old post !

Best wishes,

Nick

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Re: Eventual Census appearance for a Joseph BROOKS b. c1780
« on: Saturday 01 November 14 18:50 GMT (UK)  »
Good evening,

Many thanks for picking this old message up. It so happens that a great friend of mine, née BROOKS, asked me to do research for her, hence the message.

I gave her a résumé of what I had found to date, but the short answer is that I haven't found the answer to my question ! So any input you would care to share would be greatly appreciated.

This site is a mine of information and of people with enormous experience in genealogy. I would encourage you to use it as I have made immense progress since I jooined.

Regards,

Nick

Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Annie GOULD - Sharp's Toffee factory, Maidstone 1950's
« on: Tuesday 28 October 14 09:41 GMT (UK)  »
Good morning Dawn,

Thanks for coming back rapidly.

Annie was born Annie MIDDLETON on 30th May 1916 in Darlington, Co.Durham, possibly baptised on 15th June. She married Henry GOULD on 25th December 1940 in Darlington, but I think they moved down to Maidstone afterwards where Henry came from.

I haven't found a remarriage to date as, of course, that was one of the evident options. I am not in contact with the GOULD family, but am distantly related through Annie's mother. What happened to her is a bit of a mystery, especially for her neices - but the story is rather complicated !

Thanks again for your interest.

Kent Lookup Requests / Annie GOULD - Sharp's Toffee factory, Maidstone 1950's
« on: Tuesday 28 October 14 09:15 GMT (UK)  »
Good morning,

I am trying to trace Annie GOULD b. 1916, who would have worked at the Sharp's Toffee factory in Maidstone in the mid 1950's. I understand that the factory no longer exists. If anyone might suggest where I could start to search for information I would be very grateful.

She probably lived at 31 Astler Street during the war, married to a carpenter called Henry GOULD, who was later killed in action in the Middle east in 1943.

Any tips as to local resources would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Re: Look-up please: GOSSELIN family births c1947
« on: Monday 11 August 14 10:49 BST (UK)  »
Good morning,

My research on the Gosselin connection was with relation to a distant cousin in my family tree.
Claudette Gosselin would have married a Keneth Frederick WRIGHT in Kensington in 1967.
I was looking to establish where and when she was born (France ? Jersey ?) and her family affiliations.

regards,

Nick
