Ada Twyman of Margate

[sunlight64]

Hello to all:  Thank you for all this information about my grandmother Ada Twyman who married Ernest James Simpson here in Montreal.  I have been on Ancestry- for  quite a few months. Just today I was to see where 2 zion cottages ( brought her  B-certificate) received two days ago.  Today I found your site.  You have here all that I know even about the Jacksons except for Lily's whereabouts afterwards.   Ada was very loved by her children.  She had 8 of hers and Ernests -and 3 of  Ernest from previous marriage.  I was close to my aunts and uncles but I never questioned ancesters- but now find it very interesting to find them - my mother is the last now 95 of her chidren.
Ernest died 1930or 33.  His first child born 1903/4- last born 1926.  Which was Fred William Simpson  18 on the ss Regina a canadian  depth charger-  that when down 1944 on the Cornwall coast  by a German u boat ,she had a convoy of 10 ships-to take to Falmouth.  He was one of 30 sailors that went down.  Granny was very nice to all she died 1964.

It is probably worth contacting Simon via his TWYMAN website http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/patriadomus/tons/index.html He may not be aware of the revival of this thread. There is a lot of information on the website and even a small forum.

Thank you   I'll do that

Evening all.   I don't login here nearly as often as I should, so apologies for my tardiness.  Haven't looked at Ada much since the earlier discussion on here (I went off on a tangent, as I often do, when the Canterbury Cathedral Collection went up on FindMyPast...so far this tangent has lasted 6-months )

But anyway...Sarah Jane Stock.  Just been looking for her marriages & so forth, trying to see who she was and just why Ada Twyman was with her on 1901.  Sarah Stock was born in Ramsgate around 1870, and appears to have been married twice: first to Alfred John Stock in 1889 in St. George's Ramsgate, and then later to Richard James Smith in 1906 (not sure where, as I've only found the Banns so far...in St. Clement's Sandwich.  Both are noted as widowed).  The first marriage gives her maiden name as Browning (father was George Browning, a mariner), so that's not really shed any light on the Twyman side of things at least...perhaps they're related on her father's side of things (if at all), whomever he may be.

But yes, by the look of it there were two Lily Twyman (at least in this thread :p)...the one who was the singer, and the one who was living with the Dike family.  It's the one living with the Dikes whom I believe is mother of Ada Twyman.  I shall continue to dig, though.

Would like to know if there are any people out there related to these people:  Herbert N. Twyman B. 1874 of Lord Bryon Inn Margate or his son Stephen who married in 1919 of Rodney Inn Garlinge until 1938...  possible also a Claribel (Dike) Twyman Tobin.  If you are out there please- if you have any information from long ago, it would be much appreciated  because you would be  my grandmothers uncles' families and aunt relatives.    For me this is a very long shot.

Hello sunlight64
Just reading your post as am researching into my Grandmothers family who were Twymans. Stephen Twyman was my great grandfather. I haven't got an awful lot of information but would be happy to try and fill any blanks you might have
