Hi, now I am really confuse is this the same person then? We all know it was easier in them days we think that from Barbados he went to Canada then onto South Shields as there was a small black population in Durham what do you think? Thanks

That’s fantastic I am hoping we maybe able to find a photo somewhere or where would I go to find something like that

do you know if he fathered anymore children in Newport

If you look on Freebmd.org.uk you can see some Derraven/Anstice births

There is quite a gap  between them so you would have to get the images to see if they were the right parents.
Especially as some of them are after death of Charles .
But the 1929 one might be worth following upon
Unfortunately none are available as the cheaper digital images.

Also the birth of Ivor Anstice in 1926. He married & died as Derraven
The poster on the 2008 post is connected to him.

There are two births in Pontypool that look as though they could be his children.

I agree with mckha489: Ivor Anstice/Derraven is the key to finding living Derraven descendants.

My own research indicates that there are living members of the Derraven family in South Wales, but we are dealing with people who are still living, so names can't be divulged. However, there is an Ancestry tree MJ: Charles Derraven, owner martinjenjins62 which is clearly this family, so your best bet is to make contact with the tree owner through Ancestry and to go from there.

Ok great thanks I am not clued up on how to go about this it all started when my 13 year granddaughter wanted to do a family tree, that’s where we are now so do I send a message to someone else on here
You maybe able
To help. Thanks

[Steve emo]

Do I need to make contact with Martin jen62 via this site to find out more. Thank you

[AlanBoyd]

No, you would have to join Ancestry at ancestry.co.uk. It is possible to open a free account, but I have just checked and as far as I can tell this doesn’t include access to other people’s trees. There are various levels of subscription available, and you can pay monthly if you only wanted to be on there for a short time before cancelling.
