Looking for any information about Ivy Kathleen TANNER and Alfred MARSDEN who were married on 9/2/1918 at The Parish Church~ S.Martin~ Knowle~ Bristol. Ivy was a munitions worker living at 123 Somerset Road~ Knowle.**Alfred MARSDEN was a driver with an Australian Field Company of Engineers during WW1. He spent some time in France in a Traffic Control Diversion at the end of the war and for some time after up until October 1919. He then was transferred back to Australia and was demobbed. Alfred and Ivy's first son was born in February 1920 at Lismore~ N.S.W. I would like to know how they met and lived during the WW1.? Are there any good sources of historical information about ordinary people's lives during WW1? What was Ivy's life like before the war? Please send any information to 2008@dodo.com.au.

My great aunt Nora Roberts lived at 9 Northville Road~ Northville in Bristol and was at that address in 1963.Her husband was Wilson and they had a daughter~ Julie who was married to Cecile and they had 3 sons~ John Christian~Andrew Charles~ and Jeremy George. They moved to Australia around 1960~ I believe. Does any have information that will help me with my family geneology ? Thank you.

Desperatly trying to find the ancestors of my husband. Looking for any info~ photos~ of John Alexander Drake born 1835circa in Bedminster~ Somerset. All I know is the name of his father was John Drake~ gentleman. Assuming there is some record of this family but is difficult to trace from here. Dont know if John A had any siblings but could be an Elizabeth. Does the name Studdy ring any bells. I guess any info on the Drakes from around 1830 would be appreciated if anyone knows anything or remembers please let me know~ we are desperate to trace back further.

I am trying to trace my father's family. His father was Alexander Britton born **1883 to Alfred and Jane Britton. Alfred was born in Bitton and Jane was Jane **Hamilton born in Ireland. Alexander had an older brother Alfred and possibly **sisters. Alexnder was apprenticed to the Royal Navy around 1896 and served on **the HMS Cambrian we believe his brother Alfred went to Canada but do not know **if this is fact have photos of somone called Lucy and her 2 girls could be **Alexanders sister?
