Galway / Re: Thomas Manning b1851
« on: Tuesday 23 September 25 22:08 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for those who have replied. We will get the marriage certificate. As for "Hubert" - like I said, this is only an Ancestry hint, therefore, needs to be taken with a pinch of salt until evidence can be found.
So, can anyone tell me where I can search for records for Ireland pre-1877? I can't find him on the 1871 census in England, therefore I assume he arrived between 1871 and his wedding in 1877.
Thanks

Galway / Thomas Manning b1851
« on: Monday 22 September 25 21:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi
Any pointers would be great!
I have records of Thomas Manning born 1851 in Galway. He appears getting married in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England in 1877 at a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel. I can't find any records in England prior to that one. Lots after then.  On all the census returns he states he's from Ireland, County Galway.
I know little about Irelands records, and I'm not sure where to begin! We are getting the marriage certificate as its not online, so at the moment I don't have his fathers name. Ancestry hints he could have been Hubert Manning, but as yet I only have the software algorithm's to tell me this!
thanks

Thanks everyone - I have everything on George (including his obit and his will) and his first 2 wives. It was the 3rd that was the mystery!
I will have a look at the links to Ellen.

Thanks again

The Common Room / What Happened to Ellen?
« on: Thursday 17 July 25 20:48 BST (UK)  »
In 1976 my husbands grand father, George F Johnson, married for a third time to
Ellen A Lang, registered in Uttlesford. They lived in Thaxted, however, this marriage was not approved of by the rest of the family. He died in 1985 but neither my husband or his older brother remember meeting her or even hearing about her until we started doing the family tree! My mother in law referred to her as "Penny".  I don't know what happened to her, she's not mentioned in his will and we haven't found any documents relating to her at all.
Can anyone find Ellen A "Penny" Johnson, previously Lang?  I have found a birth which is possible, and if its correct she had a twin called Marie R Lang.
So where did Ellen A Johnson go?
Thanks in advance

Warwickshire / Craddock family Birmingham
« on: Wednesday 04 September 24 22:20 BST (UK)  »
I'm researching a Craddock family in Birmingham.  I can't find many parish records online for this family. I've been told that the more recent generations were Catholic.
I'm looking for baptism for:

Ronald G Craddock born 1922 (birth registered Aston)
His parents were George Samuel Craddock and Cecilia Kinsey.  I have all other information about Ronald except his baptism info.

His father was born in Gloucester. I cannot find any baptism or burial records for George Samuel Craddock (1887) or his father George Henry Craddock (1862-1901).

They all seem to be missing on the 1881 census too.

Now this could be the spelling/mistranscribing of the surname or the fact that I've been looking for hours and now I'm Craddock blind!

If you're bored and fancy a look up, please do this one and let me know. Thanks

The Common Room / Where is she buried?
« on: Wednesday 03 April 24 20:16 BST (UK)  »
Hello all

My husbands great grandmother died in 1938. We discovered today, thanks to a newspaper article, that she committed suicide. There is a report on the inquest, but nothing at all about a burial is in the newspapers (that I can find).
I can't find any burial records, but I think that is due to the time period is still not online at the moment.
She lived in a village called Thaxted in Essex. So, I wondered if a) she isn't buried there but in the closest municipal cemetery b) because of her death, her burial was secret or was her body returned to her place of birth in Finchley, London.
Her name was Clara Johnson nee Neville, 1872-1938
Her husband George William Johnson married again a few months later after advertising for a housekeeper/companion in the newspapers!
thanks in advance
