Walter Frederick ENGLAND

[Girl Guide]

Hello Minniehaha

Yes indeed, it has been an amazing journey and I am most grateful to you and all the others who have supplied me with information about Walter and his family.

Walter's descendants far outnumber that of his older brother James who only produced one legitimate child and one illegitimate child.  The legitimate child was my grandfather Sidney and Sidney only had the one child who was my mother, so a very small output compared to Walter.

I will leave this thread open just in case anyone comes up with anything that I haven't had, but will close it at the end of next week.

Many thanks once again to all of you and have a Merry Christmas and a fruitful New Year.

Just to let you know that I discovered that Hilda had died in the UK.  Received her death certificate this morning, died 9 July 1965 at Pershore, Worcestershire UK.  Her husband was the informant.

What further information are you looking for?

With Christmas imminent I think any further research from this end will have to wait until the New Year as some places with be closed for the NZ holiday season

Have a great Christmas

Cheers Janette

Hi Janette

To be honest I think everyone has done a sterling job for me and as we are now getting to the living persons generation, information on those persons cannot be put on the thread.

I don't think there is anything more that I can ask for, as I did have a list of descendants sent to me which was a wonderful bonus and more than I could have hoped for.

I do have some names, addresses and phone numbers that I could contact for further information. 

As you say Christmas is on the horizon and places will be closed for the season.

The only thing that I would have liked to find are newspaper reports of weddings, although I don't suppose everyone had their wedding mentioned in the paper.  I do have one which is Hilda's when she married Tennyson Middleton.  I have the actual paper that the wedding report appeared in.  Walter senior sent it to his nephew Sidney, Sidney being my grandfather.

Anyway have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I now have email contact with a living relative.

As C S Lewis said in one of his Narnia books - Onward and Upward!

Merry Christmas to you all.
