London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Portobello Road School

My late father lived off the Portobello Road in the 20's and 30's and went to Oxford Gardens School.

You could contact the school and see if they have any records relating to Caretaker's in the 1930's.

Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: Southery Parish Records - Knowles Family

Hello The Yokel

Many many thanks for finding details of marriage between John Knowles and Sarah Pigott, I had almost given up any hope of finding any information.

I have just recently returned from a trip to Norwich Record Office and was disappointed to see that the pages from the marriage register for Southery were missing between 1827-1832 (the pages had been removed!).  So to hear that they married in Hilgay gives me another avenue to explore.

Again many thanks

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Re: Baptism Lookup Request

Hello David

Many thanks for your quick response.

Unfortunately I know very little about John Atkin Knowles (my ggg-grandfather) but I am awaiting a birth certificate from the GRO for one of his daughters, which will (hopefully) give me details of the maiden name of his wife.

Her name was Sarah and she came from Southery (Norfolk) and they were married c1832.

From that I can possibly find more details from Parish Records relating to his mother and father which may well clarify which John Knowles we are talking about.

Thanks again,

PaulS
