Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Re: I can't find him anywhere ...
« on: Wednesday 26 March 25 17:37 GMT (UK) »
update ... i've just located military records that state he was born in 1900 in Hull not 1880, so a new line of enquiry
the 1939 register is easier to find him if you search Annie Gilbey and he is listed as husband, they've transcribed it as 17th August 1880 however it's actually 17th August 1900

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / I can't find him anywhere ...
« on: Wednesday 26 March 25 17:29 GMT (UK) »
Afternoon,
I'm trying to help a friend trace his tree but am at a bit of a brick wall.
Daniel Gilbey born 1880 is in the 1939 register, he married in the 1930's to Annie Hope in Hull, but apart from the marriage index and the 1939 register, i can't find him anywhere.
There is a Daniel A Gilbey born 1880 and he's the only plausible. i also can't find a death record for Daniel, not any mention in the local newspapers of him. could he be Daniel A Gilbey born 1880?
Many thanks in advance

The Lighter Side / Living person electoral lookup request
« on: Thursday 03 October 24 17:25 BST (UK) »
Afternoon all,
A friend reached out and asked me to help trace a sister she only met once when she was younger.
Her father was married prior to marrying her mother.
She gave me a name, a first name of the mother and an approximate age which all seemed correct
I found her fathers marriage in 1975 to said woman
I found the birth of her half sister in 1981
I found her in the 2007 electoral register
Again in the 2011-2013 electoral register at a different address in the same city.
The house she was in, in 2011 hasn't been sold since 2007 so I had to tell my friend she could still live there, unless it's a rented property then she may not.
I was wondering if there's anybody who would be willing to help by looking at more recent records through private message to protect the identity of the woman in question.
My friend would like to write a letter to her half sister in the hope of making contact.
She may still live at the same address but now married, I found my info through Ancestry which searches by name not by house address.
Any help would be gratefully received

The Lighter Side / Help desciphering Ancestry DNA to find grandfathers father
« on: Tuesday 01 October 24 17:02 BST (UK) »
Good afternoon all, i'm hopeful someone can help point me on the right track before i get carried away.
My grandfather never knew who his father was. He was born in 1928
I know all of my fathers family, and my maternal grandmothers, so i figured looking at my matches on Ancestry DNA may help identify the family of my grandfather.
It's complicated by the fact my grandfathers mother also didn't have a known father.
I found a (extended family) member, unassigned, although was obviously from my maternal side as her public tree showed nobody i knew of.
her relation was 3rd cousin, or half 2nd cousin 1x removed
we shared 65cm across 4 segments of DNA.
So, as i understand it, me and this woman must have the same great-great grandparents, meaning we either share a single great grandparent, or our great grandparents were siblings, is that correct?
I looked at our shared matches, the next closest match we had was a man who was my 3rd cousin 1x removed or, half 2nd cousin 2x removed. i shared 49cm across 1 seagment of DNA with him
looking at his public tree, he shares an ancestor with the previous woman mentioned.
They're both descended from a couple named Thomas & Annie Atkinson.
i signed up to pro tools and they both are listed as half 2nd cousins 2x removed or 3rd cousins 1x removed to each other. There are, various other matches i have in common with these 2 people.
the issue is, Thomas Atkinson was married before he met Annie, he had children, then he married Annie, had more children, then they split and Annie seems to have had a few children after Thomas.
My question is, does it seem i'm on the right track looking at the son's of Thomas & Annie as a potential father for my grandfather.
The relationship between the previous mentioned people
The original Woman's great grandfather is the brother of person B's grandmother both children of Thomas & Annie
Hope you can follow
Best wishes
Jason

The Lighter Side / Help with this old Bible, and was he famous
« on: Sunday 05 December 21 23:48 GMT (UK) »
Evening all,
Whilst clearing out my grandmothers loft we came across this bible from 1885.
Apart from struggling to see the chaps name, we believe Harry Torry?
I did a quick search of John Mitchell's in Doncaster at the time and there seems to be a quite prominent footballer who played for Doncaster Rovers and Newton Heath.
Is there any way of discovering if this John Mitchell was the same guy who went on to play professional football?
