But no way of knowing if the children belong to any of those 'Johns' really. They may have just been on holiday with the grandparents or maybe were living with them because they were orphans.
You will need to look for death of John I think.

Hi Ann
just have some information which may be my g,mother it came from another Bassindale but he could,nt look at 1871 census,this is what he sent
William Bassindale born at Epworth Lincolnshire about 1802,he had son John Bassindale he had three daughters
Louise born about 1860 at Epworth
Elizabeth born about 1863 Epworth
Ada Mary born about 1869 at Manchester
Manchester was in Lancashire (lancaster) at that time and Liverpool is only 30miles away,also in Lanchshire(Bootle and West Derby are suburbs of Epworth is near to Belton,Crowl and Wroot,in Lincolinshire which was mainly farming area so its likely that John was farm labouer.seems he moved away between 18863-1869
is there anyone who can look up 1871 this is the closest ive got
Dutchxx

has it run its course? Nobody else want to add?

No worries Frances. Hope you get it solved soon.

Marianne, thank you for that, will have a look at it.

Paul, the story could be true, I wonder if a lot of deaths went unreported officially during the air raids. Was it just the child who was supposed to have died or the whole family?

Have you tried asking the advice of Portsmouth RO, or even the Hampshire FHS. They have a web site and may be able to advise you.

Sure is Ann, only glad it's misbehaved for hubby also otherwise it may have been my driving!!!!

Sorry if out of context with board.

Frances

I found by chance a very good website called

Ancestors-Brickwalls

Its worth having a look at it or putting a message on and its a free site and one I have found quite helpful.


Love and Peace

Pretty sure nothing on FeeBMB Ann..Im sure I have looked.
Surely if she died in an air raid there be a death reference somewhere!

OR!...is it a sorry told to family to cover something?

Adoption?

always the way with intermittent faults isn't it?

Thanks Ann sorry only just replying had a phone call from garage to collect my car, it's been playing up but behaved beautiful for them grrrrr.

Frances

Frances, sounds like a good one for Susan to get her teeth into.

Paul nothing on FreeBMD is there? I checked.

My missing family are the children of Alexander Victor Gibson who was married to Susannah Smyth/e, 4 children William Henry born 1885, Mary Ann born 1887, Clara Jane born 1889 and Alexander Victor 1892. Last sightings 1891 census at Chapel Street Clayton Manchester, Susannah ran off with a man surname Hagan? apparently leaving the children with her husband, the grt granddaughter of Alexander Victor Gibson/Hagan (1892) he took the name Hagan, gave me that info but cannot find what happened to the 3 older children, a possible on 1901 census for Alexander Gibson father in Cumbria as a lodger.??
Baffling.
Frances

Well Ann..thats about all I know of her.
Have checked the Commonweath Graves site..but no sign of the name.
They hold records of all killed in ww2..I think.
But nothing...
As she was so young..theres not alot to go on.
Dont know where else to look.
She was born..then nothing!

She wasn't very old when she was killed then Paul.
What have you checked.

ann
Glos

Yes..an aunt of mine..believed killed in air raid in ww2.
I cant find any death references for her..or anything else!

Leslie W Wilson..born 1937. Portsmouth..thats all I know of her.
I know the name Leslie is the male spelling of the name..but I'm sure the story was of a female..so..

Dont know what the W stands for..though my grandfathers name was Leslie Whitford Wilson.
