London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Harrington & Noble marriage...
« on: Saturday 15 November 08 17:41 GMT (UK)  »
I have been tearing my hair out trying to find a marriage for my gt nan, Clara Harrington who married ?? (not sure of 1st name) Noble.  Not sure when either, my nan was born 1919 so we are looking before then and her birth was registered in Kingston upon thames, so it will hopefully be around that area.  I have tried all i can think of, i am hoping a more experienced family researcher can help me out!!

many thanks in advance

Europe / Re: Kosky's to England from Poland spelt Blachskosky???

Yes def is possible, it could be the person who wrote the records interpretation of his surname.  My family started as Kosky, then went onto spelling it Koski and later Koskie!!  Confusing I known, but with surnames like this spelling changes really need to be kept in the equation!!

Hi all... thanks for replying... would really appreciate it those who may be able to help me out, thank you very much.
Tsu.... my family started there in 1895, would yours have been there then?  Barnett Kosky and Yetta Kliman came from Poland and Germany and moved in to 134 Brick Lane, having 2 boys Joseph Kosky (my gt grandfather) in 1897 and Jack Kosky in 1905, boys went into workhouse around 1906, with parents moving onto mile end and later Hoxton, Dalston area.

Strange one coming here all...!!

Does anyone live near or close to Brick Lane, London... my gt grandfather was born there... and my nan would like to see where he was born, but due to mobility problems can't manage the journey.  If anyone goes there, can they take a photo of no 134 for me, i believe now to be a bangledeshi restuarant and has flats above.  Strange ask i know but would make an old lady happy!! x

My Joseph's parents are Barnett Kosky and Yetta Kliman, they came to england from Poland in 1895, Barnett's father was also Barnett (!) and they were from the slask area of poland, but JOseph's father barnett has bankruptcy records 1910 - 1914 which he is listed as an Austrian Jew, which threw us into a confused state, but as explained by Berlin Bob,  Poland was divided back then so he can still be polish but actually be an austrian jew, so did russia come into that equation??   i can see that there is time within the dates for Joseph and Annie to divorce and for him to re marry, I agree there, Joseph and Rosa's marriage cert says that in 1930 Jospeh's father Barnett was decesed, but... me and my mum have had many discussions over this... and as said Joseph and his brother were put into a work house around 1909, so did they actualy know their parents after that?, was his father just presumed to be dead?  Sorry i'm waffling on and my relatives might not have any significance to you at all!!  When you get the marriage for Joseph and Annie, please let me know what it says, my gt gt grandad may have a secret!! x
