I tried with the next two names in the barracks listed in the electoral register (Ancestry). No luck, so either those names were never entered in the 1939 register or Ancestry has messed things up...

I know that the 1939 register excluded the military but I'm not sure how this applies to civilians (wives) living in military barracks. To be specific in the 1939 Hounslow electoral register my...

I've found further proof - there is a marriage at St George, Hanover Square between Giles Attwood and Kate Croucher Nov 24, 1836. In the 1891 census for Mary Scriven in Oatlands - Giles Attwood is...

Thank you, Jomot1. In the 1891 census Charles Croutear age 82 of Tanners Lane has 'Kept by the Parish' in the occupation field which, I presume, refers to the pension. Although I'm aware that...

My great-grandmother Mary Anne Eliza Croutear bap 1838 in Boldre, Hampshire was the daughter of Charles Croutear (bap 1809, Boldre) and Francis Harding (bap 1811, Beaulieu). While I have been able to...

His birth information came from his death record in the BC Archives, as there is no gravestone, only a marker - his burial was handled by the Public Trustee - probably because he was indigent....

I was aware of that record - what is not clear is why he was held and then paroled. There is some indication in later Brazilian records that he had brushes with the law. The data on his immigration...

After 11 years! I can say that the solution presented by AdeleE is probably correct as are Kerrywood's comments.

The 1939 Census showed Alice Minnie Scriven as having a birth date of 2 Nov 1873...

To take your points in turn - no there are no family documents other than my father's birth certificate - our family belongings were destroyed during the Blitz. There may be documents with the...

This looks likely as a fit for the FORD family of Jeffry Farm - well done :). If we assume that they are the birth family of Alice Minnie, there are a number of possibilities that are worth pursuing,...

The birth is registered in the Registration District of Hampstead, subdistrict of Hampstead, County of London. It was registered by Alice Minnie Compton, mother, of 190 Alexandra Road, Kilburn. This...

That sort of name combination was quite common at that time, so probably coincidence; however, she did seem to have a thing for carpenters named Charles Edward! ;)

While it is possible that she...

I agree - that's how I've read it. I've looked for Alice M COMPTON and Alice M FORD in the 1901 census, but I only found three Alice M FORDs of the right age (~27) who were born in and around London....

Thanks for the replies - Neil - yes I've searched and found a couple of Alice Minnie FORDs, however neither seem to be born in the right place. As for COMPTON, I've found a couple of Charles Edwards,...

I'm trying to trace the marriage of my grandmother Alice Minnie SCRIVEN (AMS) nee COMPTON nee FORD to my grandfather, Charles Edward SCRIVEN (CES), They were both married twice.

AMS (b about 1874)...

Hello all,

I've been doing genealogical research for about 6 years now - I live far away from any other members of my family and have been in a quest, typical for people of my age, to sort out who...
