Australia / Re: Thomas Wills and Henry Lewis Conran: gold mine owners, S Australia, 1890s onward
« on: Monday 17 November 25 13:00 GMT (UK)  »
It seems like in this period, the Conrans may have been travelling in Europe. Perhaps it was simply that they decided to bring him along rather than leaving him at school.

The Common Room / Re: Arthur Rhodes from Stockport - Post WW1?

For there to be an affiliation order, we would be looking at a child not belonging to his wife.  Perhas from during his time in service? Unless the original court records survive, perhaps at Stockport Archives, they might be nearly impossible to track, though.  It is highly likely the child was not registered under his surname.

That's just what somebody's put on the familysearch tree.  It's not clear who has put that name, or why.

It's not a source (a source is something like a baptism, marriage, military record, will, etc).

What sources do you have for them already?

Middle names are exceedingly rare in this period (sometimes alias names are mistaken for middle names).  All the sources for Richard (from his marriage and children) show his name only Richard Statham, and I don't see any sources that give his father's name.

Europe / Re: Henri Libert. Death record. Belgium

Agatha doesn't have civil records that late.

He doesn't appear at https://wardeadregister.be/en

Do you know where Henri was born?  With luck, a marginal note on his birth certificate might tell you when/where he passed away.

Canada / Re: Looking for missing Elsie Annie Rufey (Le Heinsworth) b. 1914 Wokingham, England

The couple actually married in Nova Scotia

Mrs E Le Heinsworth was still in Hamilton in 1955

She seems to disappear from Hamilton directories after that. Perhaps remarried - marriage records for that period are not available publically.

There are some records from the King Lynn sessions on familysearch full text.

Unfortunately does not give much information about him, but he was convicted for burglary, originally sentenced to death before being "pardoned" (the transportation is written as a condition of his pardon, rather than a punishment, in these records).
