Warwickshire Lookup Requests / snape family of edgbaston
« on: Wednesday 11 February 09 11:28 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking on behalf of a friend, mary snape dob 5/2/1927.  She's looking for her brother arthur lawrence snape born 7/6/1933 last know address being sutton coldfield.  we would be interested in documentation of other relatives, parents : albert lawrence snape, sheet metal worker in edgbaston, 1902, mother may snape, lived at 38 bath row, edgbaston.

previously when searching for relatives, i stumbled on a facility that allowed me to see who lived at what address at a certain date, this was a free facility as i had no means to pay via internet.  can anyone help me with print of this address in 1900's, also recent copies of whether the snape family still lives at eden hall rd? sutton coldfield.

many thanks

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Help Required - John DUNN - Hull
« on: Monday 04 February 08 13:45 GMT (UK)  »
sorry, to explain this may take a while. 

my mother is looking for birth certificate of john dunn. via a relative we have received print of email of p167 baptist parish holy trinity kingston upon hull 1844 - reading left to right :
No. 1330 May 15 - John son of John & Susan Dunn of Hull, wood turner.

this information tallys up with what she had got in the family bible and from other relatives who are no longer with us now we have internet access.

to further assist you, the family tree sites John's mother as Susan with the following siblings : jane (1847), william (1849) and thomas (1850)
the only hard information she has is a marriage certificate with the following information :
1868 : Parish church horncastle, lincolnshire : No. 278 : 26/7/1868 : John Dunn, 24, widower, grocer, sculcoates, yorkshire, John Dunn (father?) Baker
married :
Jane Bastow-holmes/27/spinster/4 market place (no father)
witness : John Marsten (her brother-in-law) and his son george marsten (or could be marshall and iv written it down wrong.

Its Jane's husband John Dunn i'm trying to trace the birth certificate of and information about the previous wife he appeared to have married.

when mom wrote to records office giving the above information they sent her (for a fee) a copy of the following birthcertificate :
ref: FC794652 registration district of Hull and a subsequent copy of the another certificate with the ref: FC795082 both showing the birth of a John Dunn on 26 feb 1845 at prince george entry high street hull, giving John Dunn (a labourer) as father and an Ann Dunn (formerly) edwards. registering information on 27th march 1845.

she then wrote to the registration office enclosing a copy of the photocopied document to prove the information she gave (as quoted above) was correct.  to date (12months since) she has not received a reply.  mom cant afford to receive copies of all john dunns born in hull so can anyone out there shed any light as to why we have been sent twice the wrong certificate.

please email me with any help you can give. reimburrsements are available but only for copies of the correct information that we are trying to find.

we are so grateful for any information you may be able to give.

sorry for delay.  crappy computer having a bad hair day.  iv been to church. its got a very small church yard with very few old graves left standing, those with headstones were dated 1848 then 1900's.  i couldnt talk to vicar as she was taking a wedding.  i did write down a web site for you and a parish phone number to see if they could help you further but iv lost it.  i dont work too far from the church so sometime this week il get my butt into gear and rewrite the info you need.  i did go round all visible graves but couldnt see anything with the names given . xxxx

the  possible reason for a high turnover in accommodation is that a canal runs just off the green and goes alongside the Travellers Inn and under Lazy Hill, so the area may have been used by waterfolk.

there is still a WEATHEROAK HILL in alvechurch, connecting alvechurch with wythall and beoley.  im pretty sure there wasnt a weatherhood hill.  it is mainly farmland and large (expensive!) houses on weatheroak hill

if you contact whsmith (booksellers) they do a localised history book about the green kings norton with lots of photos.  i live 2miles from the green. another contact is our local celebrity historian carl chinn.  he is very well known for his local historical ramblings in the local sunday paper called the sunday mercury and a daily paper called the birmingham mail (formerly the evening mail).  Carl might have his own web site.
