London and Middlesex / Re: st georges hanover square - birth of James Wells
« on: Thursday 14 March 19 06:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Samantha, I am descended from James' sister Sarah Wells 1808-1896, she married William Henry Jones and they lived in Tunbridge Wells. Their father was Daniel Wells (abt 1765-Jan 1821) and mother Sophia (abt 1778-1859) - no marriage found. The family lived in Lancashire Court between 1815-1825. Daniel was a coachman. After Daniel's death, Sophia married William Hayes in 1826 and he died the following year. I can't find Sophia in 1841, but by 1851 she was living with daughter Sarah in Tunbridge Wells. William Hayes was living at Falconberg Court, less than a mile away, when he died. Regards Alan (Salamander Bay, Australia).

With the discovery of Catalina A24-25 near Cairns this week, my interest has been re-newed in the disappearance of A24-49 in April 1944, in which my father-in-law's brother was a crew member.
Catalina A24-49 Crew:
Pilot P/O Warwick Neville Rose, 400939 - 2nd Pilot F/O Allan Roger Meakin, 418142 - Navigator F/Sgt Lenard William Stringer, 419679 - W/AG F/Sgt Alexander John Hine, 415327 - W/AG F/Sgt James William Willesden, 427052 - W/AG F/Sgt Joseph Bass Miller, 406811 - Flight Engineer Sgt Alfred Harvey Brooks Wadham, 28840 - Flight Engineer Sgt Herbert John Alexander Coates, 35037 - Air Gunner Sgt Philip Charles Carter, 34396 - Air Gunner Sgt George Wise Whitley, 41312.
 

“A Mystery Unsolved...The Loss of Catalina A24-49”
Towards the end of WWII, in 1944, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Catalina "Maggie" A24-49, took off from northern Australia on a routine mission over enemy territory in the Dutch East Indies. The aircraft, with ten crew on board, vanished without a trace. For family members of those crewmen, this remains an enduring mystery. This book has been largely written and researched by historian Bob Alford, at the instigation of the nephew of the missing Catalina pilot, Tony Morgan. The book includes a thorough background on RAAF Catalina operations during WWII. Order your copy of this excellent book please contact Tony Morgan.

Hello Emma
I've just joined after finding your post regarding Doris May Hoey. Is your partner's mother named Helen nee Ferguson or Costelloe?
