More People added

Well true to my word, I have managed to put aside some time and update my tree etc. I am currently Emailing people for information and have added some prople to my tree.
I will hopefully go to Kew at the end of October to try and find my Great Great Grandads Military records. Tried that before and failed, second time lucky hopefully

New Start - Again

Ok - After a years break I have now got back in to the family tree thing again. I have made an effort to get up to date with Emails and I've start to update my tree. Therefore, thats why I'm now updating my blog.
Hopefully I will keep this updated and not get distracted by having to go to work etc.......

Back now

I haven't updated this blog in a while. I have been doing some reaserch into my Grandads military history. But in the mean time I have added some photos I have been sent by my 2nd Cousin Ian Dullaway (my Grandads sisters grandson)

More people add to tree

I have added a few old certificates today. These have been bugging me for some time. It turns out that Alfred Dellaway lied about his age when he got married. On his marriage certificate he says he's 19 when he was actually 16. I found his true age from his date of death in WW1. His wife remarried six months after his death.

Polly Dellaway on the other hand is still bugging me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few details added to the family Tree

With the certificates I got yesterday I have now added to my Family Tree on my web site. One is of my Great Great Grandad. I never knew he remarried after he was widowed. You learn something new everyday. Ok, next job...........

No time on my hands

Well, so much to do on the tree and no time to do it. I have been busy at home and work and have had no time to do anything. Thank you all for signing my guest book. I have ordered some new certificates that should be here tomorrow or Wednesday and I hope to add these before the weekend. But, thanks for reading.

My trip to the PRO at Kew

Last Tuesday I went to the PRO at Kew to try and find my Great Great Grandads Army records plus a few other bits for me and and my wife. I got there at 09:00 as the doors opened. I went in and started on the records I needed to order. I had written down all the film and records numbers the night before so I could just order them straight away.
09:30 came and I could now order the records I needed, after 20 mins the boxes arrived, I went through all these old services records and found......... nothing. Absolutly nothing for my Great Great Grandad (James Dullaway) and nothing for my wife. The only things I did find was my Great Grandads service records and the records of the 2 Dellaways that died in WW1 (I'll be posting more that on the site when I get around to it) I must have ordered 20 different records and looked at numerous micro films. I left there at 17:00 quite despondant. Not wanting to ever go back. Well, 6 days on and of course I now want to go back after looking at their web site and have found one or two more avenues to go down. But this won't be for some time.
Now back to current events, I have had a few more people contact me with different things and more photos to add and the new service records I found for these soldiers in WW1 and my Great Grandad, I'm going to be busy. Plus I need to reply to some mails and invite Emma Vokes down to see me. Where I am going to find the time I do not know. Since renewing my interest in January it has gone mad.
