I found this...

HORACE PURCHASE HAGGETT, NEWPORT 1896 

No sign of Horace, Richard or Sarah in 1901 wales census, BUT a free search of the 1911 census shows Horace Purchase Haggett living in Newport...could Richard jr have been registered as Horace? Does happen

A search for Richard Haggett in 1911 shows one, living in Hereford age 39 birth yr 1872??
A few Sarah Haggetts, i presume you know what yr she was born, could narrow her down.

Hope it helps..god luck :D

Waterford / Leonard from Dungarven
« on: Tuesday 21 July 09 22:50 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find David Leonard born abt 1864/5 in Dungarven, he married Charlotte Birt in 1893 in Newport but he's nowhere on the 1891 uk census.  He is my first Irish root so I am completely new at researching Irish ancestors so ANY help would make my day  8)

Hello again....been absent for a wee while, havent been my best  ??? so apologies to those who carried on without me and made such wonderful discoveries  :D
I am thrilled someone has been identified even if it wasnt one of my relatives! I am happy for anyone to get in touch as i'm sure the photograph will be of great sentimental meaning.

Please please keep me updated guys and once again i sincerely apologise for my absence but am back for a long haul now


ps I must say a huge thanks to all who helped especially to Malcom Walker

Hi everyone.  Wow, so much has gone on since my last visit here.  I'm loving the history lessons....you guys...and gals are in the wrong profession.  You should have all replaced those dreadful dreary history teachers we had in school.  I may well have learned something that lasted my memory.    ;D

Again, I feel compelled to thank you all   ;D    I'm not only learning things I didnt know, I'm (meeting)! such lovely people who are so very generous with their time and knowledge - something which is rare these days.  You've put my faith back in human kind.    Another cheesy grin needed I think ;D ;D

Ok, well dave, I've PM you but I dont think there are any connections there unfortunately.  

Also on another dissapointing note,  someone kindly put it to my attention that it is not Alfred on the photograph  :(  He was discharged in 1918 after a short enlistment of the army.  Medical reasons excluded him so therefore there's not a chance he could have been still been serving King and Country during the time of this photo.

I'm feeling very pessimistic right now.....We seem to take one step forward and two back.  I'm running out of options with the family, I mean, I have only mainly names and dates but nothing appears to match.  Most definately a head to brick wall moment  :-\

Have you thought to look under "Dukes"??  Sounds very similar.  Could strike lucky.

Another possibility...if you have searched the full GRO maybe she remarried... try looking for her husbands (Jewkes) death to see if this is possible
I found a Jane Jewkes marriage in 1910 in Dudley???

Is Jewkes her married name?

Had a feeling William was too young.  He had three older brothers, but none look remotely like him.   Victor died in 1916, and the other Fred is my great grandfather!  leaves just one Alfred...no resemblance.

Dave, no luck on my part.....I'm a bit of an amateur!

Reference Library / Re: Should we correct transcription errors ??

Looking for my ''Dallimore's''  which I've been doing so for over 2 years!!  I came acrosss my 'family' listed as ''Dunsmore'' in one census instead of Dallimore.  Now i would never have found them if it hadnt been for the rest of the family
ie mother remarried 3 times therefore all her other children had different surnames (searched everyone of them)
you know what its like, you cross reference and cross refernece again and again.....
The step father obviously given the info and having so many step children to care for probably couldnt remember half their names correctly!!
BUT...although it looks very much like Dunsmore instead of Dallimore do i correct it?  I'm a Dallimore and I cant tell you how many variations of my name I get.  It took me along time (more than a few days!!!) to make sure sure I was on the right track.  I wouldnt want someone else not so patient as me to miss it!
