The chances of anyone on here 'knowing' anything are remote, sorry to say.

Have you looked in 'search all member trees'?

Hi I’m very late to this but Harry Dixon Bamforth is my great grandad , I’m too trying to find out more

I have found he was married to Agnes Hilda Cole , his mum was Emily Bamforth ( but I’ve found her under the name Elizetta Bamforth nee/ lodge too, his dad was Joe Bamforth , he had a sister Emily , was adopted by Henry RB bull and Sarah Ann haighs ?

There’s more children that Joe and Elizetta had later on

I’ll add we have found our dna has significant African dna my dads %13 so we think he may have been mixed race ??

Sad to see he wasn’t well liked
He went on to have children. My nanny Phyllis, Edna , Muriel , Gerald and Eugene who later changed his name to ramsden !
But I’m not sure if the siblings had the same dad Eugene’s great granddaughter doesn’t share the African dna ?!!! Agnes Cole was my great grandmother ( got sentenced to prison for man slaughter as she did illegal abortions with her new husband Thomas Shamen ) she also had a brothel and used the girls , they ran away to one to America (mureal) and my lovely nan who luckily ran away too, I think the boys went with Harry . Not the most proud of the ancestry I’ve found .

I would love to know why Harry was adopted , I think Agnes is a dodgy character and I’m not entirely sure all her children were from same dad based on dna

Anyway if anyone as any more info I’d love to know
Thanks
Sinead

Hi Valerie welcome to the boards

As Suzanne post this a couple of years ago she not be checking for replies now.

Click on her name and send a private message, if she still has the same email address she will be notified

I am geralds second wife and i live in dalton hudds

I'll send that stuff by PM, Suzanne.

Oh, interesting. I'd love to know more Janey!
Thanks Mike, for the link.

Just to toss in my belated two cents here -- has anyone mentioned a second marriage for Gerald and the fact that his wife is still on the electoral roll in 2011? It seems Gerald himself has died, between 2008 and the present.

Always check on freebmd for certificated records from 1837 to about 1945 ( not all transcribed yet )
