Elizabeth Higgeson, born 1726
Elizabeth Higgeson was baptised on 22nd April 1726 at St Martin in the Fields, London. Her parents were Richard Higgeson and Hannah Curtis. There is no trace of them on familysearch.org and I shall be happy to have any information at all about this family.
James Chaffey married Rachel Sugg in Lewisham (now SE London) in 1856.
James and Rachel are both 48 on the 1881 census. James was born in Newbury, Berkshire, but I have found nothing to confirm this, or the names of his parents etc. Rachel was born in New Cross/Deptford (now southeast London) in 1833 to Thomas Sugg and Jane his wife. Jane was born c1792 in Bow, east London. Does anyone know who she was? Thomas Sugg was a son of George Sugg and Ann Patey, married 1787. Thomas was born in 1788. There are many Sugg families in Somerset and quite a few Suggs in London. George was alive in 1841, aged 83, at Kensington Workhouse. Does anyone know how he connects with other Sugg families or individuals?
Charles Coltson, born 1720s died 1790.
Charles Coltson married Ann Field in 1747 in the City of London. His family may have been quite well-to-do, as Charles worked at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. In his Will, dated 1785, he is said to be living with the Earl of Bessborough. Whether he is connected with Coulsons or Colstons I do not know. Charles and Ann's children, Charles and Charlotte, were baptised in London in 1749 and 1750. What I am searching for is any information about when Charles snr was born, who his parents were, etc. Any information most welcome.
I am looking for information about the parents or other relatives of Eileen E Houlihan, born in 1920 or 1921 in Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ireland. She married in London in 1949 and died in 2013.Does anyone have any information?
Jean-Charles Driant lived in London, UK from roughly 1945 until his death in 1989. He was a minor TV and film actor, and was married in 1947. He was born in 1922 in France. I have not been able to find his birth via geneanet or other sites. I have not applied for the marriage certificate. Does anyone know where in France he was born, or who his parents were. It appears he did not have any children.
Who remembers Constance Rose Price (1961-1968) nee James?
Constance was born in Haverfordwest, west Wales in 1891. In 1912 she had a daughter, Emmeline James, born in Cardiff. In 1917 in Aberdare she married William David Price, a coal miner. They had a son, Douglas, and may have had other children. In about 1948 they returned to Haverfordwest, where William died in 1963, and Constance in 1968. I am helping Constance's grand-daughter, and she wishes to find out more about her grandmother, about whom she did not know until recently. Does anyone know anyone related to Constance, or have any information about her life in Wales.
I am interested in Samuel D A Gilder and his wife Ivy who emigrated to South Australia from England in 1958. I know he died in 1997. Any information as to where they lived, what they did etc, would be appreciated. They had four children.
A Henry Mobbs was born in Norwich in 1867 and in 1891 he married Ann Hardy.His father was another Henry Mobbs, described as a cloth hawker. I think he is the Henry Mobbs buried in Norwich in 1903, born roughly 1835. Now, there was a Henry Mobbs born in 1836/7 in Yarmouth to shoemaker Edward Mobbs and Hannah. The older Henry is very elusive. Does anyone have any information?
Mary Patricia Wake born Rotorua, 1924
Mary Patricia Wake was born on 25th May 1924, in the Rotorua area of New Zealand. Her mother was Agnes Veronica Wake, born in England in 1900 and known as Veronica. Mary's father is unknown, but may have come from a well-to-do family. In 1925 they moved to New South Wales, where Veronica married Frederick Shields. Veronica died in Australia in 1974. Does anyone have any thoughts or comments?
