I have tried everything I know and also the suggestions, but can find nothing for the Thelma Holmes we are looking for, As jonwarrn mentioned earlier - it might be a good idea to get the 1981 death certificate for Thelma Harkell: June qtr 1981 Camden 14 1880 Harkell, Thelma d-o-b 26 July 1913 Death...

...that she had a Yorkshire accent For what it's worth -- John H V Holme's paternal grandparent's weren't Welsh. Thomas Holmes birthplace was Cumberland, and wife Emma (nee Loosmore) was from Durham. If Thelma is related to John H V Holmes in some way (perhaps thru adoption) could she have been bor...

Just wondering if other Forum members have this family tree situation during the 19th and early 20th century: Recently I was looking for possible military records for one of my great-uncles (born 1883). Finding one soldier's records for three different regiments, from the Boer War to WW1, I had a cl...

If there were pre-1813 births they might not be online. What sources have you checked so far? Ancestry and FS? Doesn't Ancestry's London parish collection only go up to 1812? :? Have you found any baptism records for the Murray children born c1813 to 1833? If not, that could explain why you're not f...

The 1829 Removal Islington to Shoreditch document does list 6 children, but there may have been earlier births prior to Mary (age 16). Any older children were probably young adults by 1829 and no longer living with the family. So look for suitable birth/baptisms from c1805 to 1812 in Ealing, Shoredi...
