It would be my guess that Jarvis changed his name to Dickson after a prison spell, I would be inclined to buy Joan's birth cert and look at fathers first names

Did you get Henry's name from your mother's marriage cert?

By law, a child must be registered in the district in which he/she was born...........

Thank you for helping

Henry and mary have long gone i believe mary died in the 1950,s not sure about henry. I got told he was always in and out of prison.

To start off with george was born in plymouth 1/10/1916 but i dont think he was registered there

George married my mum in 24/7/1951 in aldershot and they had 2 children pat and jeanette but the marrige only lasted a couple of years as he was just like his father.

I got told henry and mary had 4 children but could have been born in all different places as henry was in prision alot so mary could have followed him

Her maiden name i have no idea

I have been trying for the last 2 years and i have got no where i have looked on the freebmd but with no luck hopeing the 4 childrens names would connect nothing

Have you got the right birth year for George? Have you tried looking for the births of the 'siblings'?

Flick

Flick Report 22 Dec 2011 15:02

Just to clarify.....

Are you saying that Henry and Mary Dickson had children named George, Eileen, James and Joan?

Do you know Mary's maiden name?

What connection do you have to these people? Knowing that might help with searches.

Also, pardon my asking, but is the surname definitely as you have given it?

No George Dickson born Devon at all actually

henry and mary dickson are presumably long gone now.
I'd image the chances are George is too.

What is it you want to actually know? can you be specific- tell uswhat you do actually know?
How are they related to you?If not related, what is your interest ( which way do you need this to go?)

Hi i was wondering if anybody can help me.

I am trying to find anything about henry and mary dickson and the family they lived in aldershot hampshire in the 1950s and thier children were george born 1916 in plymouth, eileen i believe she never got married i dont know when she was born, james he was a teacher and joan i dont know.

I was told that mary was a teacher before she married

I do know that george and eileen had moved to farnborough and they were there in 1970s maybe even earlier and joan had got married and was living in sandy lane in hawley farnborough.

If anybody can help me i would be grateful

Sue
