Rosie & Heather,

Thanks for your quick replies. My Great Aunt doesn't exist on CWGC under her maiden name. I can only assume that she married, but I have yet to find a record.
I shall take up the idea of contacting the Kent newspapers.

Thanks again,
Denby

Kent Resources / Civilian WW2 casualties in Kent
« on: Sunday 04 December 11 18:11 GMT (UK)  »
There is a family story that a great Aunt of mine was killed during the Second World War whilst travelling by bus between Canterbury and Herne Bay in Kent. The bus was attacked by a German aircraft.
I am hoping that someone may know of this incident – I would like to find out more.
Alternatively, is someone able to point me to resources/archives that may aid my research?

Thanks in advance,
Denby

Hello Jane,

I've just read your reply after returning from holiday. There were three children born after Thomas. They were James (born 1904), Josephine (born 1906, died one year later) and Mary (born 1908).

Jane,

My grandmother is Mary who was born in 1908. The 1911 census shows that Bridget and Michael had 12 children, but three had died by 1911.

Hello Jane,

I'm pretty sure that we have been in touch before via GenesReunited, but that was a few years ago. Have you got any further details regarding Michael Carroll? I'm trying to discover where in Ireland he actually came from.

Regards,
Denby

Hello,

My great-grandfather's name was Michael Carroll. He was born in Ireland, but married in Haddington in 1888. He moved to Edinburgh in the 1890's with his family and then was employed as a Steam Crane Driver and later an Electric Craneman up until sometime in the 1920's. I would like to find out more about him and also try to trace the tree back in Ireland. I will be very interested to hear what details you may have, especially if you have any information about crane drivers in Edinburgh.

Regards,
Denby

I have now found the burial records on the www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk wesite. There is a search you can do on the catholic death & burial registers. My grandparents are buried in the Mount Vernon cemetery.

Occupation Interests / Crane Driver in Edinburgh

I've reached a brickwall regarding my great grandfather who lived in Edinburgh, but was born in Ireland. However, I'm not sure where.

According to various census records and certificates he was a Steam Crane Driver and later an Electric Craneman. This was during the period 1895 to 1920.

Does anyone know whether there are records somewhere that would give details of people employed in such a profession in Edinburgh during this time?

Thanks,
Denby
