Event: e-mail from Bill Pickup and Rose Bateman
Long e-mail from Bill Pickup providing new details about James William
Albert Searle (P616), the son of James Edward Searle (P329)
& Eliza Ellen Howard (P388). and his family. Because
many of the persons mentioned are still living, many of the exact dates have
been edited to protect the privacy of the people involved.
James William Albert Searle was born in 1928. His 1st
marriage (F193) was in 1947 at the Parish Church of St. James, Riddlesdown,
Purley, Surrey was to Annie Stewart (P120) who was born c. 1928/29
at (?) Dumfries in Scotland. (Exact date & place to be researched further).
They were subsequently divorced (date unknown). They had 3 children:- (1) Dianna
Patricia, born 18/7/1947 at 118 Lower Road, Kenley, Surrey, and died
12/12/1947, at the same address; (2) Derek James (P670), born 1949
at St Helens Hospital, Hastings, Sussex; & (3) Brian
(P671), born 1951 at 118 Lower Road, Kenley, Surrey.
Derek James married for the first time (F???) in 1970 at the
Church of the Sacred Heart, Essendene Road, Upper Caterham, Surrey to Madeleine
Fedelmia CRETON, born 1953 at 35 Macauley Road, Caterham, Surrey. They
had a son, Barrie Michael, born 1970 at Redhill General Hospital,
Redhill, Surrey. Derek James and Madeleine Fedelmia were subsequently divorced
(date unknown). Derek James later remarried in 1974 at the
Register Office, Surrey South Eastern Registration District to Nicola Anne
EDWARDS, born 1955 at 88 Ninehams Road, Caterham, Surrey. They had 2
children:- (1) Robert James (P???), born 1978 at the Halifax General Hospital,
Halifax, Yorkshire and (2) James Henry (P???), born 1983, also at the Halifax
General Hospital.
Brian (P671) married (F???) Carol Janet BUCHANAN
(P???) in 1976 at the Church of St. Luke, N....e(?), a (?) Conventional District
in the Parish of St. Katherine, Merstham, Surrey. Carol Janet was born 1955 at
126 Smithdown Road, Sefton Park, Liverpool. As far as I know, there are no
children of that marriage.
James William Albert married again (F199) on 12/7/1958 at the
Congregational Church, ............., Purley, Surrey to Esther CORCORAN (P123),
born 24/9/1920 in the Irish Republic (exact place & date to be researched).
Esther died 13/8/1989 at Mayday Hospital, Croydon.
J.W.A. married again (F202) on 29/4/1991 at the Register Office, Croydon to Phyllis
May SMITH (formerly DRAKE) (P124), born 9/4/1931 at Upper Parkstone,
Dorset. Phyllis May died 15/2/1997 at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital,
Winchester, Hants.
J.W.A. married yet again (F50) to Florence Winifred Howard (P546)
- details already known to you.
J.W.A.'s father, James Edward SEARLE, may have been born (I
believe) on 24/5/1905 at South View, Copthorne, Worth, Sussex, but I am not
absolutely sure as his fathers name is given as Alfred Frederick Searle ,
occupation - General Labourer, on his birth certificate whereas on his marriage
certificate (F159) to Eliza Ellen Howard (19/11/1927 at St Saviour's Church,
Croydon) his fathers name is given as Alfred William Searle, occupation -
Wholesale Wood Broker. James Edward's mothers name on the birth certificate I
have is given as Sarah Searle formerly Prevett. The
date and area are about right but there is the discrepancy over the father's
name, so I am not totally convinced. I must discretely ask J.W.A. what his
grandmother's name was on the Searle side. Perhaps that will confirm the correct
birth of his father. (He is not very forthcoming about family history matters).
J.W.A.'s father died on 8/11/1960 at 3 Mosslea Road, Whyteleafe, Surrey. His
occupation being given as Landscape Gardner.
Best wishes from Bill and Rose.

Event: e-mail from Paul Cope
Content: Miffling Family connections
Paul writes......
I came across your web-site a couple of days ago while researching the Miffling family history . Your 2000 Newsletter contains references to Mifflings who appear to be related to my wife through her Grandfather Arthur Frank Miffling and Great Grandfather Arthur Miffling. The Charles Robert Prictor (Proctor?) Miffling who married Ada Ellen Eagle in 1896 is, I believe, the eldest brother of my wife's Great Grandfather (Arthur). Arthur's parents were Annie (nee Hare) and Charles Robert Proctor Miffling. You already have obtained the birth certificate of Charles Robert Prictor Miffling born on 29 Aug 1864 - could you please tell me whether his parents names are the same as Arthur's?Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours Sincerely,
Paul and Julie Cope
Having checked my records, I was able to confirm the Miffling family connection with Paul Cope and will be following up the lead in due course.
