(It seems to run in the family!  <img src="http://www.msheppard.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/tongue.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue" /> )<br /><br />Still desparately short of pictures of Marie and her family and I'd dearly love to know who inhertited all her family papers. I certainly hope that they didn't end up in a car boot sale or, even worse, on a bonfire! Her brother ended up in South Africa and I'm waiting for his probate papers now, but I'm sure he wouldn't have had them as he left the UK in 1882 and I don't think he and Marie ever met after that.<br /><br />But I live in hope that something will show up somewhere.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />Maurice  <img src="http://www.msheppard.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> http://www.msheppard.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1275422762/0#0 The LONGMORE Pages Forum/Other Surnames - Notes and Queries My great-great grandfather John Longmore Holmes was born in Ireland - Dublin I believe - on 1 April 1818, and moved to London when young, becoming an ironmonger in Limehouse and later in Sutton. &nbsp;He married Mary Ann Rundell.<br /><br />His father's name was William, but I know no more about his history. &nbsp;Can anyone help me and explain his middle name 'Longmore' please?<br /><br />Thanks http://www.msheppard.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1272061235/0#0 The LONGMORE Pages Forum/LONGMORE Notes and Queries Does anyone know anything about a John Longmore b c 1777 in Worcester.

He was born in Brosely/Barrow around 1780. I think his father may be Humphrey who married Mary Posting in Broseley 23/7/1777<br />All this is subject to me being able to check the records when I get to England later in the year.<br />Thomas had a son, John, b around 1812  in Tipton who married Eliza Baker who was from Wednesbury. They had a son Edwin (later called Edward) b around1850 in West Bromwich. He in turn had a son named Ernest b 1893 in Warrington. He had a son named Albert Ernest b 1923 in Warrington who was my father. If you are able to confirm or comment on any of this I would be very grateful[color=#00ffff][/color] http://www.msheppard.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1266533101/1#1 The LONGMORE Pages Forum/Other Surnames - Notes and Queries Hello Burton,<br /><br />Welcome to the Forum!  <img src="http://www.msheppard.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/grin.gif" border="0" alt="Grin" /><br /><br />I've just got back from the UK a couple of hours ago and am busy trying to catch up on my email! If you can bear with me for a day, I'll be back in touch with you again very shortly.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Maurice  <img src="http://www.msheppard.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> http://www.msheppard.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1266250691/1#1 The LONGMORE Pages Forum/LONGMORE Notes and Queries Hello Lynn,<br /><br />Welcome to the Forum! &nbsp;<img src="http://www.msheppard.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/cheesy.gif" border="0" alt="Cheesy" /><br /><br />Well the parents and two siblings, Ann &amp; John, are living in the same street in 1901 at number 267. My guess is that she is staying with a friend or relation somewhere and her surname has not been recorded as LONGMORE. You could do a search of other houses in the street looking for an Elizabeth born in 1897, but even if you find one, you still can't be certain without a lot of cross checking. On the face of it, it seems to be a question of incorrect recording. If you find one that meets the criterion and is also a visitor, you may be onto a winner.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Maurice &nbsp;<img src="http://www.msheppard.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> http://www.msheppard.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1265556212/1#1 The LONGMORE Pages Forum/Other Surnames - Notes and Queries Hello Mike,<br /><br />Welcome to the Forum!  <img src="http://www.msheppard.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/grin.gif" border="0" alt="Grin" /><br /><br />I can certainly give you a link, but there is some discrepancy about Harriett's surname.<br /><br />She was originally born Harriet WINWOOD, but married Joseph WATKINS on 20 December 1849 at Colwall. Her marriage to Edward NEWELL in 2nd Qtr 1860 is on FreeBMD - Upton Reg Dist Vol 6c  Page 465<br /><br />To my knowledge, Edward &amp; Harriet had 6 children:-<br /><br />Edward - February 1861<br />James - Circa 1863<br />Sarah Ann - Circa 1865<br />Alice Jane - 4 Qtr 1867<br />Elizabeth - 2 Qtr 1870<br />Allen - Circa 1871<br /><br />Edward NEWELL senior, to whom you originally referred, is my great grand uncle. He is the ninth child of William &amp; Honor NEWELL (nee BARROW). If you need further information please email me at:-<br /><br />maurice(@)msheppard.com removing the brackets and putting LONGMORE in the subject line.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Maurice<br />
