Annie, Gordon or Clive Paling - Southampton
« on: Wednesday 16 February 05 14:05 GMT (UK) »
A message was left by a Clive Allen on a genealogy board in 2001 regarding his grandmother and my great-grandmother, Annie Paling from Eastleigh, Southampton (she is the daughter of a Willoughby & Emily Paling - the family were originally from Leicester/Warwick area I think but moved to Southampton). Unfortunately, the email address Clive left is now out of order.
Annie Paling had a son Gordon Paling in Southampton in 1921 (Clive's Father).
My great-grandfather Norman Simes married Annie Paling in Southampton in 1923 and they had two children Patricia and John (my grandfather). I'd be interested to hear from Clive or anyone who knew the family to fill in some of the gaps but I've no idea how to trace him. Any ideas?

HELLO CATHERINE,
ANNIE AMELIA PALING IS IN THE FAMILY TREE I AM RESEARCHING. SHE WAS BORN IN EASTLEIGH, SOUTHAMPTON AND MARRIED NORMAN AUBREY SIMES. SHE HAD TWO CHILDREN - PATRICIA E, BORN RICHMOND, SURREY  APRIL 1924 AND JOHN IN 1928. SHE WENT TO AUSTRALIA TO JOHN HER HUSBAND BUT HE DIED SHORTLY AFTER HER ARRIVAL. SHE CAME BACK TO LIVE WITH HER MOTHER AND THE CHILD SHE WAS EXPECTING WAS BORN IN WINCHESTER. NORMA DIED AGED 3MTHS AT THE CHILDRENS HOSPITAL IN LONDON.
IS THIS THE SAME ONE IN YOUR TREE? ???
