I forgot to mention that I found a reference to an Albert F. Perry who has a bit of a presence online. There are photos of him as an older man and artist. We know that my great-grandfather fell...

Thanks very much, Lesley. I checked the notes re James B. Porteous. We got the information about the death and cause of death from the Scotlands People site. I sent a message to the office that...

Hi, Megan, Thanks so much for this information as it helps us to try to bring our information forward from Albert F.'s generation. I will try to go down these paths and see if I can find anyone in...

Thank you, Christina :) Six people have posted on my two threads. The amount of information shared has been stunning. I'm very appreciative and I know my family will be too. My goal has been to...

Thank you, Gene. I'll check that link out. I've tried various cemetery/death registry/newspaper notifications. I've discovered James Porteous isn't a rare name. My father's grandpa and his uncle...

Hi, Lesley, Lovely to hear from you. Unfortunately my family have no papers related to the death of my father's grandfather and uncle. My grandmother and her sisters & mum came over to Canada to...

That is interesting about the 1911 census. It's too bad the divorce records stopped in early 1900 as it's hard to know if his marriage is still to Elizabeth or to someone different. Thomas is the...

Megan, this is very interesting. Also interesting that Caroline's daughter was also named Caroline. I'm trying to figure out which female branch of the family the person I mentioned (Peter Child)...

Megan, this is interesting. I guess that Elizabeth either died or they divorced. It's interesting that he was living with his brother and their family. Families seemed to stick together in those...

It would be interesting to know if any of these marriages are for this Albert F. I have encountered a few others from that time period. I guess Albert was a popular name then. Harold was born when...

Megan, this is interesting as it shows that Charles James Perry's family moved to Birmingham - at least in the early 1900s but my father's great-grandmother was buried (most likely) on Portsea...

Hi, Jan, It is amazing what has been found by the other members. I'm very impressed and grateful. I will paste in a piece that my brother wrote about Albert's records. He seems to have done a fair...

Megan, it is interesting that Albert F's daughter Nellie has the same name as her cousin (Elizabeth and possibly Charles James' daughter Nellie). Also Albert F's son Clifford (my grandpa) has the...

Hi, Peter, Here is a piece my brother wrote with his army information. He seems to have seen the world a bit.

Albert Fowler military records show up in the British Army WWI Pension Records. He...

Sandy, I will ask my brother if he's seen the records. We know that Albert tried to enlist in 1914 but was discharged 26 days later for medical reasons.

Thank you for looking this up, Sandy. I really appreciate that. It makes me think that Elizabeth must have named my Grandfather after her brother Clifford. My uncle also has the same name. These...

Hi, Megan, Your point about the certificate is very interesting. I've sent a message to my brother and haven't heard back yet but I don't recall hearing anything definitive about whether we know that...

Thank you so much for all of the content that you've provided, Megan. It was so heart warming to see your posts (and those of Sandyhall, Peter and Jan). I'm very appreciative and look forward to...

Thank you, Peter :) I need to go back to an e-mail I received from the church where Elizabeth was married. I think the Rector said that I would need to contact a specific office with a date of...

I have a huge brickwall (trying to locate a lost grandparent: https://www.british-genealogy.com/threads/87646-Perry-Family-in-Portsmouth-Hampshire?p=625825#post625825) which is too big I think.

My great-grandfather Albert Fowler Perry (b. 1871) came from the Portsea Island area of Portsmouth. His parents were Charles Perry (b. 1840) and Susan Perry (b. 1849). His career was listed as a...

Hello, I live in Canada and I'm adding on (in a way) to a lot of research that my brother has done. My father grew up not knowing his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. They were based in the...
