My grandfather Walter Whall Durrant was the brother of George Ernest Durrant who was born in Islington. He emigrated to Canada probably in 1920's. He married Ada and had a son George. Great uncle Ernest used to send me new issues of Canadian stamps until his death in the 1960's. I have lost all contact with the relatives in Canada.

Hello
What a great website!
I’m wondering if you can help me. I’m looking for information on my grandfather George Durrant, a music hall artist, who was born sometime between 1872 and 1877 in Clerkenwell, London. His father was George Durrant, a builder.
I am looking at George Ernest Durrant b.1877 (I29398) in your tree as a possibility and would like to make contact with other family members to see if there is some information that might confirm this.
Kind regards

Dear Williams family,
Your website and the extensive work it contains is an inspiration.
I have just been given a month's use of Ancestry.co.uk by my daughters, so I at the earliest stage of this journey. My late mother was Lily Loftus, daughter of Ely and Gertie Loftus who employed Annie Brown as one of four servants in their home in Albert Road in Southampton. This has come as a great surprise to me as I had assumed Ely was poor immigrant, and was obviously doing very well by 1911. My grandfather's family did well in England, for example his brother Michel's family founding Accurist watches.

I have a photo of my grandparents shop which, from appearances seems to be taken roughly around the time Annie Brown was living there, and it shows my grandfather, his brother, and three young women, one of whom could possibly be Annie (plus a passing policeman who thought he'd also pose for the photo). I assume the photo was taken in Albert Road, where I am assuming they lived over the shop. I understand that the building is now a Threshers Wine shop. I would be more than happy to send you a copy.

Best regards,

Laurence Trackman

Hi,

Googled an ancestor's name, Elijah Tanner, and came across this site. Saw that he was on your tree and that my ancestors down to my Dad are too!

Just thought I'd let you know that the DOB for my Dad, David John William Whitehead, is incorrect - he was born in 1946 rather than 1956.

I have more information on the Whitehead/Bayher/Hodde/Tanner family if it's of interest?

about Thomas Wordsworth born 1834 I have found him in 1841 census as a Wadsworth in West Melton with his father Joseph [47], grandparents Thomas [70] & Mary [75] and sister Elizabeth [12] .

In 1851 Joseph is living with his wife Mary at Coley Lane, Brampton Bierlow
not in 1861 census in either spellings

Still searching for any family that knows John Williams who was killed in a road accident in Sept 1955 at the age of 29 years. Was an engineer engaged to Mary Slevin in Manchester. Born in Chester I think and had 2/3 sisters. Could possibly have gone to Leeds Uni.
