Hi All

According to online sources, one of these daughters (the elder, born 1940) became a distinguished palaeopathologist and significant contributor to rheumatology research - sadly she died in 2001.

Anna


 I have found the marriage of our palaeopathologist and birth and marriage of her eldest son, he still lives in Bristol, unfortunatly he seems to be exdirectory so no phone/address.

I have found him in the www.192.co.uk index for the 2007 electrol roll but do not have credits.

Anybody got any credits and would like to help ???

peterbennett

I have now got the details (didn't even need to pay!) of the probate in 2001 - grantee was a Bristol-based man whose name(s) suggest that he must be a son. I have a 2001 address for him but for some reason can't find him on 192.com. Wonder whether we're talking about the same person?

I have 192.com credits - if you send me a PM I'll try to take it further.

OK, team - peterbennett and I were talking about the same person, and I now have an address for him from the 2007 electoral roll.  I'm pretty sure it's him, (right name for wife, right area) though unfortunately it only lists the first of his middle initials and not the second!

Will PM Lady Di with it

Yes MarieC, I agree - marvellous work by everyone.

Here's hoping that we find a kindred soul who will give the book a good home.

Hopefully a letter will be in the mail tomorrow.

Fingers crossed

I am in awe at the speed and expertise that has gone into tracing the descendants.  Watching on the sidelines in excited anticipation of a happy outcome to this search.

Amazing place Rootschat, with talented, and generous members.

Once again an amazing piece of teamwork has been done by Rootschatters.  Just imagine how any of us would feel if someone suddenly appeared to present us with an item once held by our ancestors.

Well done.

Does anyone have a subscription to GenesReunited?  Carey Coombs 1842 appears on a tree.  I'm at work so can't search the other names.  I can't send messages and subscription has lapsed.
Pam
I have sent her a message - fingers crossed!
Diana
I have heard from the person confirmed, and the palaeopathologist was her cousin.  She knows of two childre,, is not in touch herself, but has a relative who may be able to contact them.
To quote her,
"Many thanks for all your and others hard work. Isn't it wonderful when a jigsaw falls into place.
Incidentally my middle name is Carey."

I will suggest that she registers with Rootschat and sends a PM to Lady Di.

This is getting to be like the best of detective stories.
Really enjoying it. All the more so because it's a TRUE story.
