Find Living Relatives

I'm looking for relatives of my late Grandfather, John Stacey. He was born in Bothamsall, Notts and farmed at Milton, Notts. In the 1960s he was in touch with a relative in Canada but I was too young to take much notice except it was someone I believe was training as a nurse. This person could have been part of the Stacey, Moate or Lumby family. There is no-one left in my family who would have any information so I'm taking the chance that someone may be able to help.
Jenny.

Have you looked to see if anyone has the family in their tree? Look at Search then search emebers trees.

Have you actually worked out a family tree yourself to see if you can identify family members that may have gone to Canada.?

I assume this is your grandfather?

A relative training to be a nurse in the 1960s was perhaps a grandchild ?
That would be one of your cousins.
Do you know much about them?

Am I correct in thinking that Elsie was your mother?

If the person in Canada was a cousin much older than you - possibly a child of either John junior or Rose Elizabeth.

Rose and George had four children:

George 1935, Margaret R 1938, Joan A 1945, Iris L 1946.


George married in 1959 in Nottinghamshire.
Margaret married in 1957 in Nottinghamshire, so the trainee nurse can't be her..
Joan married in 1962 in Nottinghamshire - so not her.
Iris married in 1968 in Nottinghamshire, so probably not her either, unless about 1962-68.

Can't see any travel record - but such relatively recent records are mostly not online.

Your uncle John 1906 married Edith Hill in 1939.

They had three children, any of whom would be of a suitable age to be training in the 1960s.

John D 1940; Edith M 1942; Olive D 1949


EDIT:

Olive died in infancy, in 1949.

Edith M married in Nottinghamshire in 1966.
But there are no online travel records for her before that - so can't prove anything either way.


John D probably married in 1960 in Nottinghamshire.

All in all, it doesn't look as if the trainee nurse was a child or grandchild of your grandfather. (Except just possibly Edith M 1942 , or Iris L 1946.)

Which leaves the search wide open!

How much research have you done?

John Stacey is in one GR tree in addition to yours - as is Mary. Have you any knowledge of/made contact with the ‘owner’?

Going to 98 Morley Street, Heaton, Newcastle.

However, the return voyage a month later lists her as Gore, also married and travelling with Francis.

Don't know if Gore is a mistake, or if this woman is not Nelyce Lumby nee Abraham, but some other Nelyce.

Trees on Ancestry have some details correct, and some wrong, as usual.

They have Cyril Edmund Lumby and Graham Ivan Lumby as her sons, but claim that their father was Albert Abram, which clearly doesn't make sense.
They say that Nelyce died as Nelyce Abram - but quote the Paget death above.

The trees say she had four husbands, including Fred. Two of the marriages are private.

They say she had a son on 12 Dec 1912:

Births Mar 1913 (>99%)
Abram Malcolm Abram Leeds 9b 752

However, that child travels to Canada with his parents, Albert and Mrs A Abram in 1915 - so his mother cannot be Nelyce who married Fred in 1914.

However, fascinating though it is to ramble through the records, it doesn't look as if this branch of the family had anyone who was training to be a nurse in the 1960s.

We need feedback from the poster, as it’s entirely possible that everything we’ve found is already known to her.

Thank you fo all that you have posted, much of which I knew but some interesting new information. I'm not a paid member of Ancestry so only access free information. I will have to speak to my cousins when we all meet up again. It's been a while. I will keep on digging when I can find X marks the spot!

I appreciate all your efforts.
Jenny.

Part of a PM from Jennifer - re the Lumby family:



Maybe this is the family in question but it is my grandma's family and I was led to believe it was granddad's family, Stacey or Moate.
