Sort out one of my old residents please

[JessBow]

Who told him I was interested in this lark? lol!

Births Dec 1931
Moore John C MMn James Newmarket 3b 596


His ****her had something to do with Bletchley park, and someone, somewhere was an undertaker.
Oh, and his father was Irish!
Mother was callled Edna
Uh Huh!

[Merry]

PMSL! Well, Jess.....I presume he is still alive lol! (and therefore we have to remove his details unless he told you you could tell them to us?!!!!!)

There's no obvious Edna James marrying a Mr Moore that I can see at the mo. Maybe they were both Irish?

[JessBow]

Oh yes, its fine. he's very much still alive and giving me a hard time on a regular basis, but no he's cool

I cant find his parents marriage either

[Merry]

Jess, try and find out if he knows when either of his parents died and where they lived. You might have to prod a bit by the sound of it. Or is he one of those who wants to show you you won't find anything because he won't tell? :rolleyes: I bet he knows his dad's first name!

[Merry]

You could ask his siblings names maybe? I bet he was an only child.....

[JessBow]

Well, he thinks some neph somewhere is back to 1841, he wanted to get a bit further ( he did lol!)

How have we drawn a blinking blank already!????
I did ask when his mother was born - 1900 but didnt ask where.... DOH!

[Merry]

Well, maybe his mother was previously married so her wedding to Mr Moore would be in a different surname. Maybe Edna wasn't her first forename or was a nickname?

I'm sure there would be no problem if he would just tell you a bit more detail. Some of these would be good:

Dad's first name(s)
When and where mum and dad died
Their birthdays
Any siblings for John
Order of siblings
Any half siblings

[Merry]

Check it's def Edna and not Emma, could you?!

I can do you John Moore to Emma James in 1931 at Newport Pagnell. (just thought he might be named for his father?)

[JessBow]

I saw them, I wont see him now until wednesday, i see him quite enough at work, so wont be ringing him on my days off.

I guess they will just have to wait

[anne fraser]

Jess many years ago I helped with a research project trying to find a link between alzheimer's and down's syndrome. Part of it involved trying to work out a family tree for patients with alzheimer's who had a relative with Down's syndrome.

It was not uncommon for people to mix up their siblings and children. Does your chap have any old photos you could ask about?

[JessBow]

He's perfectly sound in his head, its his arthritis that does him in.

I think thats his parents marriage - newport pagnell would be the right reg area too.

he was an only one.

So what about that Emma James as a child, should be living in Bletchley, He says she was born 1900
( his father WAS John, John James)

got to be.....

Struggling to find that Hall family after 1841. Can't see them as a family group but there are a few possible strays suggesting they may have been split up.
