Hi Ann......have you any idea where in England your grandfather lived? I have had a look and there are quite a few Peter Duffy's so need abit more info!
Hi Bev, thankyou very much for your promp reply, it's very kind. This is my stumbling block, I can't get any info at all for him, my Father and Uncle who are now passed away never bothered about him, they were brought up by maternal grandparents, so his d.o.b.and marraige cert is my sum total of info. I haven't got a death match for him on Scotlandspeople, the illusive Mr Duffy, thanks again Bev, bye for noe, Ann
just a quick question.ive been on ancestry.co.uk to try and find out a bit more about the family i am trying to locate and on the site theres a search called public family trees.someone on there has posted the family tree i am looking for.i know this because the names mentioned are ada butchers grandparents.i tried contacting the person who has posted the info but it said to see more i need to subscribe.do you know if there are any completely free sites where i might be able to find this tree
Unfortunately there are no free sites for you to be able to view this tree.
If you give me as much info as you can about Ada and her grandparents I can check this out for you and contact the person on your behalf as I have a full subscription to Ancestry Worldwide.
i have discovered some more relatives of ada butcher.i am hoping that someone may have some info on them.they are her aunts and i am hoping that i may be able to find cousins of adas.the new findings are
The Address At Time Of Census Was...20 Weston Place, Bermondsey, London. Also notice that there is a record for James John's Mother....Sarah Ann Butcher aged 61. On the actual census image she is a widow from Deptford, London and states her occupation as dressmaker working from home.
James John states his occupation as Wharf (dock) Labourer
Will keep digging to see if I can find more infofor you
thank you soooo much.i seem to be able to find older ancestors but am having trouble locating younger ones.im especially keen to find out if any of the children of james john had children of their own as this would mean ada butcher would have had cousins.then i can work with that to try and find out if any of them are still alive to enable me to attempt to locate someone who knew/knows ada
hi i am looking for any family of ADA LILIAN BUTCHER.she was born in SOUTHWARK in LONDON in 1915.her parents were ADA LOUISE SHELDRICK and JAMES DAVID BUTCHER.her paternal grandparents were JAMES JOHN BUTCHER and ELLEN ELIZABETH HOUGH. her maternal grandparents were FREDERICK JAMES SHELDRICK and ELLEN SARAH EASTOP.
there is a possibility that ada married in 1940 to a WILLIAM JOSEPH O'GRADY but this is not completely confirmed.it is very inportant that i can find any existing family of ADA.if anyone can help i would be most grateful.thankyou for reading this
I have found marriage details for Ada Lilian Butcher
Ada Lilian Butcher married 1st Quarter1940
Name of spouse...O'Grady
Place of Marriage...Lambeth
Vol...1d Page...605
It would be a good idea to send off for marriage certificate to confirm that this is William Joseph as the records for O'Grady in the 1st Quarter of 1940 are not available on ancestry
Have you any idea of any children that they may have had?
