Hello again,

Does anyone have any information (especially marriage, poss. in Ireland) on Daniel McLernon, born 21st December 1929 in Glasgow? I'm coming up against nothing!

Many thanks in advance

Ah. I have a subscription at findmypast, and I'm not sure the finances will allow one somewhere else too. But thank you for the tip - now I know what to keep my eyes open for.

Hi Jimmy, I don't have all that detail (thanks!), but it matches with what I've found so far. Many thanks! Do you have this marriage, Name: Frederick Reffold. Plasterer. Estimated Birth Year: abt 1870. Age: 27. Spouse Name: Louisa McSweeney. Spouse Age: 20. Record Type: Marriage. Event Date: 25 Sep ...

I think it's Nora(h). Super, cheers, many thanks! Very grateful

Hello all! I'm a bit stuck. I'm looking for a birth record for a Sarah L. Reffold, around 1900/1901, probably in Lambeth. Her parents were Frederick and Louisa Reffold and in the 1901 Census they're in Lambeth with Sarah's older brothers Frederick P and Cecil. But I can't find Sarah's birth anywhere...

Hello All,

Tomorrow I'll be visiting the Commonwealth War Graves in New Eastern Cemetery in Amsterdam (Begraafplaats De Nieuwe Ooster) to pay respects. If you've connections with any of the war graves there and would like a photo, please feel free to let me know and I'll take some for you.

Well, it's not really been solved, but I'm at something of a loss as to how to proceed further.

The places match up, and quite frankly with a name like this lady's I'm willing to take it as it is. MG - that's the info I found on a google of the name too! It strikes me that St. Tryphine's a Breton saint; I don't think of Hampshire labourer families having much knowledge in that area, but then I...

1911 Census. Why didn't I think of that

Thanks! Now to see if I can dig up the marriage

Oh, Update:

I found the family in the 1891 Census, under the spelling RUFFEE. Something to explore at least!

Hello, Can anyone here find anything about one Tryphine Ruffle? She's in the 1901 Census as living in Ewshott with her husband George and children. But I can't find anything else about her, and I'm a bit stumped on possible variations on her name. In 1901 she's listed as being 45 and born in 1855. (...

If anyone can find it I'd be grateful! The BMD gives two, one in Essex between Constance Ruffle and Charles Shaw in 1935, and another in London between Florence Ruffell and Frederick Shaw in 1913 (bit early). My Leonard's middle initial is F, but not Frederick. If A was Scottish then it's possible o...

Fair points

Would the best step for now be to wait for the certificates to arrive and then work from those?

Both of those are children of R and (assumed) A (sorry, I didn't realise I should have provided that info - we're getting into talking about people who are still alive). There's another son, Norman J, b. 1940. All children of R and A.

All right, here goes!

R is Leonard Ruffle, b 1902
1911 Census:
Living at home in Hartney Wintney, Hants

S is Doris Shiner, b 1907
1911 Census:
Living at home in Bournemouth

A is Elizabeth (or Gertrude) Shaw, b 1914

Marriage between R and S in Bournemouth in the 4th quarter of 1929.
