Which of your ancestors have disappeared?

Thank You Sue,

Looks like my search will continue in West Indies    Possible they stayed there as Rebecca was a British Subject born in Jamaica,

Hi Janet62,
Have you got your grandad and his mother on the 1901 census?  Also did your grandad have any other siblings apart from Charles?
Your great grandfather is on the 1881 census with his married sister Julia Reily. 
Regards,
Kath

What happened to these people?  They are all in a pub somewhere laughing at us, that's what!  We just need to find the pub, and then we can really give them a talking-to!

I'd just be irresistibly tempted to bawl my two out, Karenlee!      They are frustrating me so much!

 Re Dennis Forrest
 Hi everyone if they are in pub lets find it would like to be there
No there is no sign of my grandad and mother in 1901 census  rumour is grandad joined the army at 14 so that maybe why he is not on census
As for other brothers there was an Edward no know birth year he did died in ww1 but records state age unknown
the youngest was james born 1899 in Paddington workhouse he is still there in 1901 but on his own
 on my grandad B/C they misspelt his name to Forriest but can,t find anything under  that  Thankyou for reading

Hi all,

        My gg uncle John Thomas Jones did a disapearing act to get away from his missus and kids in 1903. His wife filed for a divorce in 1909. He had not been heard of again until about a month ago. Recently I found him in records from New South Wales. He was convicted on charges of Assault and Bigamy in 1900 and 1909 and had changed his name to John Henry Woodward,he had also given a different date of birth and year of birth. [ ten year difference] He had even put down a different religion so to disguise who he really was. The only thing he hadn`t changed was his occupation.It had on the record John Thomas Jones alias John Henry Woodward. In his records it had that he was born in Tasmania.This got me onto the scent. They had with his record a photo which my cousin has confirmed that this is our elusive John Thomas Jones her gg grandfather who tried to hide but was caught out nearly 100 years later by two family history nuts from his family. Gotcha John Thomas you couldn`t get away that easy.

Well done, johngirl!    They can run but they can't hide, eh?      Or at least yours couldn't.  There's a story there well worth writing up!

Me - I'm still looking for that pub!!
