I am trying to find any living relatives of William H Chance who married Annie Hubball in 1954 Stafford/Smethwick as was then, as I wish to return a medal I have dug up in my garden given to Annie's father Francis Hubball for the 1914-18 war.

Have you checked 'search all trees'?

A GR member appears to be researching Francis............send a contact message

I doubt that there would have been children from the 1954 marriage...............

Reggie, this story was in Local Paper Express & Star with photo of Roger Aston
on the 19 November, with more information than given to us, what a waste of our
time.

As I am new to this sort of thing and have not yet gotten used to how things proceed, i.e. posting I have not responded to the some people, to t6hose concerned please accept my apologies. To update anyone who is researching on my behalf to find relatives of Francis Hubball, the Daily Mail has found what appears to be a grandson and daughter and is in the process of making contact with a view to handing the Medals over. I will post as and when I have further news.

To all who helped with finding Hubball I have found a relative who I have met and she has a vast amount of memorabilia concerning the Hubball family. She has also visited his grave. I hope the story will be told via newspapers and or Central News in the next few days, I'll post when I have more details. Thanks for everyone's help.

Good to hear of a successful outcome.

As for the 2010 wedding - unfortunately the GRO on line index is only searchable up to 2006. If you could pin the area down more closely, you could contact all the local register offices and see if they would help. They might ask for payment - if it relates to the same Hubball family, may be the DM can intervene?

Alternatively see if Izabella is on facebook and contact her directly.

Only one Izabella Norris is listed on the 2013 ER, in Oldbury nr Birmingham. No other people are listed at the same address.

It could be that they (or he) have opted out of the commercial ER.

Could Norris be an Anglicised name for Nowakowski? If it is there is a possible 2013 entry in New Southgate, N London.

If you can explain how this relates to your research, I (or other members) would be happy to send the contact details if you think it's worth writing to them

Please reply on the thread

PM received from roger. I have asked him to reply on the thread.

Although I have access, I have *not* passed on the ER address but advised him to use 192.com

After further PM's from roger, this particular request is now amicably considered to be closed
