Family History Beginners Board / Re: John Plagis/Joan Bolton
« on: Friday 05 August 11 16:20 BST (UK)  »
Hello to all who have contributed.

          I have managed to trace the niece of John Plagis, who has confirmed that his wife was known as Penelope or Penny but no other details.
          They apparently had a daughter called Romain who died of Polio at an early age. strangely I cannot find this birth listed altough there is a death listing for a Romayne H Plagis in Thanet in 1960. Four years after John left to go back to Rhodesia. So presumably divorced by then.
           Even more strange is that I live in the Thanet area so she maybe buried near by.

Thanks for reply

               John was from Rhodesia and in 1956 moved back there, he sadly took his own life in 1975, not sure if his former wife is alive or not, probably not.
               Not sure where you got the Penelope connection from, it does not come up on site I am using, mine just says also married  July , Aug , Sept. so presume your site confirms Sept.
               I am doing some research on Plagis so this is background detail. Trying to avoid having to order certificate if possible.

               Thanks for your posts.

Thanks for your  reply. Yes there is quite a lot on John Plagis available on the web. I should have worded the request clearer. I am trying to find out a bit about where he married and who Joan Bolton was. They had 4  children but later divorced.

Regards
Paul

Hello

        The WW2 fighter pilot John Agorastos Plagis married Joan Bolton in Peterborough Northamptonshire in 1944. Does any one have any more details please? Or are you related?

Thank You for any help

Sorry Suz, yes more info as follow

Thomas Henry Wilde born Chesterfield Derbyshire 02/05/1883. He married Annie Elizabeth Stocks  in 1902 in Chesterfield. She was born circa 1878 in Tibshelf, Derbyshire. They had 5 children Blanche, Thomas, Ethel, Arthur and Geoffrey.

I have found their family names on memorials at St John Baptist Church, Tibshelf. They died 1968 and 1952. But am waiting on reply if the memorial is for Annie and Thomas.

Now that I have found ancestors from one side of the family going back to early 1800's I am trying to find out more. Am I trying to do the impossible?

Will try your idea of searching local papers too.

Stella

ps sorry just realised my husband is logged in - don't mean to confuse you!!

Hello.
         I am looking at a marriage certificate from Elgin, Scotland for John Cormack married in October 1910, after his name it says L.D.S. I do not know what his occupation was but his father was a dentist, could this refer to a dental qualification if he followed in his fathers footsteps ?
