South Africa / Re: Walker surname in South Africa
« on: Sunday 23 March 25 10:59 GMT (UK) »
hello...hope you're still aroundthis is a very long shot, but you never know
I'm looking for a Susanne, Suzanne or Susan walker....she used. all 3 names
I don't know where she was born but in 1973 she was single and living in Nottingham England
I know she had a brother named Robert
in 1973 she told friends that she was. going to live with relatives in South Africa and, from. that day, all contact was cut off
someone did run into her in nottm about a year later but said she was rude and didn't want to talk, which was odd because she had been a very lively and popular person.
of course, she. may not have gone at. all, but please let me know if she. fits in anywhere with your family,l
thanks

Nottinghamshire / prisoners change of name
« on: Saturday 22 March 25 11:30 GMT (UK) »
apologies to everyone....serious. illness and deaths in family.
ive got someone who must be dead by now, unless he's superman.
I cant find a death, and I know he did a fair stretch in prison, so I was wondering if he changed his name...in say the 1990s
I don't want to name him because his. son has suffered enough.
can I find this out anywhere
thanks

« on: Sunday 18 August 24 17:19 BST (UK) »
I take great care to use my computer correctly....when I'm using the battery, I let it run down zero before recharging it.
the last couple of times ive used the battery, the screen has gone. blank. after a while...the last time at 54 per cent full and this time at 75 per cent.
I can switch it on from the battery again and log. in, but after a couple of seconds I get a blank screen. again.
could some clever person. help me please

thanks David....I have another branch of my family, with both g grandparents lutheran germans, but the Dna is something to think about.
sam could have been a methodist because
William was
sam had genuinely been converted
there was a methodist as minster on his deportation and he wanted. to get well in
I believe Lyon worked for. a prominent methodist in nottm and, even if I'm wrong, this person helped the jews in nottm a great deal and the methodist chapel in nottm was more or less across the road from where they lived

yes, ive looked, but I'm open to new ideas.
one of Lyons sons. married an Elizabeth Moore, who's connected to a munton more....that sounds quite good when you sing it to the tune of postman pat....think her. father was Thomas Moore though.....will have to get.out my notes
we really have checked through.all the William Ashers we could find....just the one in Leicester left....but, of course, not all the refcords have been found or transcribed.
thought of Dan tests but people tell me its too far back 6to be any use

maybe the mods had better transfer this to Nottinghamshire now, although I'm sure the people there are sick to death of this. family.
I don't think its impossible for William and Lyon to be the same person...im just disinclined to think it...if he. was the same person, he'd already moved to nottingham when he had. his first 2 sons baptised.....he gave Samuels father's name. as William in 1819. and Alfreds fathers name as Lyon in 1820....if he'd had Samuel baptised in Leicester id be inclined to agree with you...fresh start and all this.
have you got an interest in this family....if so, I might have some background information for. you

aaah thank you David...I didn't know he'd declared himself a methodist.
ive long had the thought that maybe his father, William and his stepfather, Lyon, were one and the. same.
but then I thought about it from. the point of view of. George and Samuel.
your father presumably feels confident. enough to change his fitting in name William to his real name of Lyon....so everyone calls. him Lyon in. the new place he's moved to-....would you still continue to say your father was. William....possible, but I think unlikely.
I don't. know if you're interested in this family, but my line goes....lyon.....Jacob....Joseph....Joseph changes his. name to James, which fits in with the. anglicised name pattern of. Jacobs oldest son...which he was....ive been told by several descendants of Lyons various children that they'd been told by family members, that this was a family decision to leave the jewish faith....I wasn't told anything.
we did come up with.one possible candidate for William, where a William Asher married someone in Leicester roughly around the time that Lyon and Elizabeth are listed together....he became a soldier and stayed resident in Leicester and married. to her until his death
the good. people of this forum have been through. hell and high water to find his birth, but cant find anything, which maybe strengthens the idea. he was born abroad and or was. our man and made a bigamous. marriage..who knows.
