Find Ancestors

Hi All,
I'm trying to find Maria McElhone who's grandfather was John Wase (1882-1957), his father was Edward Samuel Wase (1849-1905 ).

How do you know her grandfather's name without knowing her parents?

Just for a ref point

Births Sep 1849 (>99%)
WASE Edward Samuel Wolstanton 17 277

Deaths Mar 1905 (>99%)
Wase Edward Samuel 54 Hartlepool 10a 118

Births Dec 1882 (>99%)
Wase John Hartlepool 10a 157

This looks to be the family you are talking about. John is still single in 1911, so any grandchildren are likely to still be living.

Seems to be a query on the family here as the birth and death dates match?

Someone called Krystine on here has a MARIE McElhone b Durham in their tree - try contacting her to see if it's a relative. Also a Danielle has Marie, but no place or year of birth showing.

Go to Search top right of page, then search Members trees, enter Marie's name and you will see the info. Send them a message in the hopes they can help

didn't know there were three postings - I've been adding to one of the others :-( :-(

I'm not sure why you did that, Ann. My first post on the other thread said that it was a duplicate and I provided the link to this thread.

This thread already had responses on it when you asked the op, on the other thread to delete this one and use the other one.
