Very kind of you. I forgot to mention that Queenie's first child born in Canada in 1921 was named, Lloyd George Garner. Interesting how the middle name was her surname. I will keep my fingers crossed...

Oh gosh this is really good! Thank you!! I will have a go at getting the certificate, soon as possible.
I hope that this might somehow lead to finding my grandma Queenie's birth. At the very least,...

Lucy JENKINS older sister, Wilhelmina b. 1855, married a Thomas Bray SHERWOOD on Sept 29, 1877. Father listed as George JENKYNS. This is from Ancestry, Film # 1040815 with Reference ID 2:39XHQ1N ...

Yes, my tree is on Ancestry.

Hello and thanks for posting. That was my error. I got the baptism information from Family Search as it popped up quite unexpectedly. You are correct, Queenie was baptized as BARNES but her surname...

Hi,

I've been at this genealogy for decades and have a terrible brick wall that I can't get past. A bit of a longish background story... I'm not a pro researcher but have been trying my best. My...

I just signed up to British Genealogy Forum and hope that someone somewhere out there could help me bust through the 30+ year genealogical brick wall which I keep banging into. Thanks!
