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

Hi
It's an "almost match" as she was Ethel Johnson, so E. Johnson is almost a match.
Her daughter was Rita Ethel Goff. She married someone called Whittaker, who died not long after they were married.
Ethel and Rita Ethel were both born in Braintree. I have them on the 1921 and the 1939. I'll check against the dates of birth for a death for Ethel Johnson. Although I've looked on Ancestry and no one else has her married to George Johnson but does have a year of death as 1966.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / George Johnson died 1960 Bradford - is he ours?
« on: Wednesday 03 April 24 14:05 BST (UK)  »
Hello all
So, Great Grandfather, George William Johnson (b. 20 Apr 1881, London), married for the 2nd time very quickly after his first wife died. He married a lady called Ethel Rayner (married name Ethel Goff) who was a widow. They are still living in Essex in 1939. However, there was some sort of upset in the family and at some point George and Ethel moved away. Not heard from again and there really isn't anyone left alive to tell us anything. I did some digging on Ethel. She had a daughter who lived in Bradford but was widowed quite young. I have found a death for George William Johnson, so I ordered the death cert and it arrived this morning.
It says George William Johnson died 17 Aug 1960 at 24 Silverhill Road, Bradford. It says he was 79 years old, so the age matches. Informant was E. Johnson, widow. So that almost matches.  There's nothing else on there to give me any clues to if he is our George or not.
So, are there any other records which I could search? The only thing I can find online is the 1939, which we already have.
I don't even know which cemeteries there are, or even if there's a grave stone.
Any ideas please!
Thanks

Lisa
