I am trying to track down my ansestor named Herbert George Oliver. I am led to belive that he was born around October 1879 in or around Cornwall. He married a lady called May. His wife gave birth to three children: Joan, Guy and George. After the birth of his third son George Oliver, he mysteriously dissapered. I would also like to find out his possible siblings or mother and father. His granddaughter (me) is called Julie Oliver. Please tell me that you have the slightest clue who he is.

When and where were the 3 children born?

Julie

Julie Report 16 Aug 2011 13:54

well herbert did not die in 1879 because he married, had three kids and dissapered :-P

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 16 Aug 2011 13:57

I'm just saying that the one born 1879, Truro died that year, so he's evidently not your Herbert George. Do you have yours on any census? What about his wife? First name or last name May? I can't find the marriage. And again, children born when and where?

p.s. Could do without the emoticon with its tongue sticking out, I'm just trying to help.

Julie

Julie Report 16 Aug 2011 14:05

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 16 Aug 2011 14:07

Children?

Julie

Julie Report 16 Aug 2011 14:07

I can't even see a marriage to a May for him.....where & when was the children born

Julie

Julie Report 16 Aug 2011 14:12

I am terribly sorry but all I knowis their names were Joan, Guy and George. they were all born at different times. I think that they were born 1910 to 1930 ish. :-\

Julie

Julie Report 16 Aug 2011 14:13

Truro was NOT a PERSON, it was near where Herbert George was BORN. :-S

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 16 Aug 2011 14:20

I know that Truro is a place not a person.
Evidently one of the 3 children was your father. Don't you have a closer year of birth than 1910-1930?

Julie

Julie Report 16 Aug 2011 14:21

I'm sure that Herbert Oliver will be in the 1911 census and will give you some info. Sorry about the emo's. :-D
