Hi all

I have split this off the topic so we can help just for Horace Mancell Hackett.
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11164

Trying to find any information on the above people.

Horace Mansell Hackett had a child [Henry Conrad Hackett] with a Florence White on 20/11/1898 while living at 8 Calverley Grove, Islington, Upper Holloway, County of London. I can't find any info on a 'marriage' between Horace and Florence (can anyone?) and would love any information at all on Florence.

I believe Horace later married a Mabel Burgess and went on to have six more children, one born in New York. I'm not sure if anyone else can confirm this? I got this from geneaology.com.

Florence later had a son Leslie/Lesley ?sp to a Frederick John Edwards. Frederick (Pop) died in New Zealand on 11/7/58 aged 87. Can't find any marriage info for Florence and Frederick either. Also keen on information regarding Frederick and Leslie/Lesley.

Thanks in advance all.

Cheers
M

I think it would be best to buy the marriage cert for Horace to confirm if he was ever married before and his fathers name.

Freebmd
Marriages Mar 1889
Bennett Eliza Charlotte J Islington 1b 419

I dont know about this but this is a bit odd...

I couldnt find a birth for Horace but theres this?
