Is this your message on Rootschat?

Hi,
I am new to this so please forgive me if I get it wrong but here goes -
My husband's grandafther was George Tainsh. He came from Alva I believe. He married Doris Prestidge in Derby in 1941 and he died in Kidderminster whilst studying teaching in 1947.
This is all we know about him (he has a brother named William I think), as he died when my mother in law was only 5 and Doris is no longer alive. We would love to find out more if anyone could help we would be exceptionally grateful.
Teresa

If so he seems to have married Doris Fisher:

Marriages Sep 1941 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fisher Doris L Tainsh Derby 7b 1987
Tainsh George Fisher Derby 7b 1987

Edit: Oops! Reading further down on Rootschat I see she was previously married to a Fisher.

Hello Teresa, if you know he had children William and George do you have any clues as to their mother's name?

If you know those two brothers didn't go to Canada then I guess you must know a little more about them? In that case you need to find their births on Scotlands People (I posted the link earlier), order one of the certificates to find the mother's name and then find the parent's marriage to get William's parent's names.

There was also a William Tainsh born 1897 in Alva so there's a chance that he might be the one you're looking for given the proximity in age.

Thanks for the info guys -I know that sons George and William did not emigrate to Canada but other than that nothing else.

And I think this is their daughter Ann:

Ann Duncanson Panchiv (1924 - 2004)



Ann Duncanson Tainsh was born in the Village of Menstrie, Scotland,about 65 km northwest of Edinburgh in the County of Clackmannanshire on May 29, 1924 and passed away June 2, 2004 following a courageous battle with diabetes.


She immigrated to Canada with her parents, Bill and Christine Tainsh at the age of four years and grew up near the village of Consort, where her folks established a farm and fine gardens and fruit trees.


After living in several small Alberta communities, she and her husband, Nick Panchiv, moved to Kelowna, B.C. in 1972 and then to Castlegar in 1993 to be closer to family.


Nick passed away in February 2001. Ann is survived by her children: Bob Tainsh, Darlene Kalawsky, Brian Panchiv and Valerie Selzer. She was predeceased by her parents and son, Gary Cooper. Also left to mourn is her sister, Isabelle (Marin) Deleff and brothers, Jack (Joyce) Tainsh and George (Mary) Tainsh of Consort, and Bill (Gladys) Tainsh of Tofield.


Over her 80 years, Ann was a caring homemaker, with gardening and knitting being two of her strongest passions. Countless people, from family to less fortunate members of the community, are thankful for her beautiful knitted creations. Ann was also an enthusiastic dance partner and with her infectious sense of humour, she was an endearing and valued friend to many. We will miss her.

There's an obit here for a William Tainsh who I believe is a son of the William who emigrated:

Did he, perhaps, emigrate to Canada? This one is with wife Christine and children Anna and John. He's going to join brother John in Consort, Alberta. Says he was born in Menstrie which I understand is close to Alva. Gives the name of relative at home as mother Isabella Tainsh, 9 Long Row, Menstrie.

He's on a tree on Ancestry that goes back quite a few generations (actually back to 1713). However it doesn't have a wife or children listed.

I think you're going to need to do some research on Scotland's People

Please can anyone help with my search? William was born 1894 in Alva but who were his parents, who did he marry. I know he had at least 2 children George and William but does anyone have anything else to add? All replies gratefully received
