Find Ancestors

Hi all, thanks for your help

Thank you Gwyn, I have passed this on to Maz :)

If other methods of contact fail, I think ~Lynda~ ( with Wimbledon Avatar at present) might be able to alert her to your search.

Gwyn

Just click on her name - assuming she still has the same registered email address (and is able to access it) she will receive an email from GR to say that you have sent her a message.

She then has to sign in to GR so that she can read the text and reply to it.

This is an example from my email account received a couple of days ago

Hi both,

I did think it was a long shot! Haven't yet looked for her tree. She also doesn't leave a full name so not sure how to trace her to get in touch. :(

Maz hasn't been a member for some time

Have you looked to see if her tree is still on here

Sherry - click on Maz' name to send her a message off-board.

If she still has the same email address she will receive notification.

Sorry that should say Plaistow, not Poplar.

Hi Maz,

I know this is a long shot because this message is 10 years old and my records are quite patchy still, but I think we might be looking for the same family.

My grandmother was Irene Jennings from Walthamstow. She died young leaving my dad and his older brother and her husband Albert Osborne. Her sons sadly lost touch with her family shortly after her death and remember very little about them.

I know from my research that her parents were Percy Edgar Jennings (born 1888) and Florence E Warrington (born 1889). Percy had 7 siblings (David, Laura, Alice, Albert, Florence, Richard and Valentine) all living together in Poplar and his parents as far as I can tell were Daniel S Jennings and Mary A Jennings. I believe The parents of Daniel S Jennings were William Jennings (Shipwright) and Sarah Emily.

I'm still pulling together all of the records so have a lot of gaps to fill in.

I would be very interested to hear from you and whether we are looking at the same William Jennings.

Thank you for your interest Vanda - will mail you direct if no joy on here. Maz. XX

Hi Maz, I can have a look at Essex for you but it will be a while because I've got a list of people still waiting for look-ups - searching microfiche manually is very slow work. If nobody can offer to search a CD for you to give you the info quickly will you e-mail me with the details please - I'm afraid the thread on GC will be gone before I have done the search for you and I've had two people already who haven't received my e-mails via my "contacts" list. All the best - Vanda

If anyone has access to either of these, please can they look for my gt gt grandfather. William Jennings, age 47, shipwright, born Bromley Middx, wife Sarah Emily, age 44 born S Georges E Middx, dau Madona age 4 born Bromley Middx, poss son Arthur age 1 or under born Plaistow. I already have them all in 1881 and I have William, Arthur and Arthur's wife in 1891. Thank you so much. Maz. XX
