- August 1998 [26 AUG 98] Family History
I have just recentally located your Internet Home Page and
the Coventry Family History Society. I have been doing research into my family background
although I have been aware that my Grandfather was a relative
of Sir John Franklin (1786-1847, the Arctic Explorer) whose family was from Spilsby,
Linclonshire.
My grandfather was named 'John Franklin Tansley' and was
born on 25 January 1854 in Coventry, England. I also know that his father was 'Thomas
Tansley' and his mother was 'Clementina Franklin' who were married on 25 July 1852 at St
John Church (?) in Coventry. Clementina Franklin may have been the daughter of a John
Franklin and Jane Mason who were married on 18 October 1823 at Brownsover, Warwickshire.
I am seeking the marriage license of Thomas Tansley and
Clementina Franklin in order to confirm the names of her parents in order to establish a
family connection to Sir John Franklin. I would appreciate any imformation you can offer
or directions to the proper channels in order to continue my search into our family
background.
Sincerely Yours,
Richard Franklin Tansley < richardt@lodinet.com >

[11 AUG 98] Family of Satchell
Hello
I am tracing my mother's side of the family whose name was
SATCHELL. I have several certificates which show that SATCHELLS were builders and
bricklayers in and around the town of Rugby.
I am particularly interested in any John or George
Satchells, circa 1850+ of Rugby.
I would be glad to swap my research with others whose
interest in this name matches mine.

[08 AUG 98] From the USA
Hi, my name is David McSparron. I think the Coventry
web site is a great resource for us ex-Coventrians. I lived in Coventry from 1950
until 1979, when I emigrated to the USA.
I attended Courthouse Green primary school and Caludon
Castle secondary school (Howard House, 1961-1967). I worked at various places,
including GEC (Stoke and Spon Street), Alfred Herberts in Foleshill, and System Resources
in Spon Street.
I would like to hear from anyone who remembers me. I
would also be interested in hearing from Susan Rose Mursell who lived on Prince of Wales
Road, and Vivienne Sarah Palmer, who lived on Manor Farm Estate in Wyken.

[05 AUG 98] Looking for Mark Thomas
I am trying to get in touch with a friend who lives in Ohio
but his email address doesn't exist, and I know that he visits the Coventry and
Warwickshire Network so hopefully he will see my email address.
My name is Russell Fisher and the person that I am trying
to find is Mark Thomas. He has two children Ashley and Alex I hope that I will be
able to get in touch with Mark through this page.
Thank you
Russell Fisher <hungrey3@lineone.net>
[03 AUG 98] Boff Family
Hello, I'm hoping somebody, whilst doing some research, may
have come across the Boff family who were in the Foleshill area around 1851.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks Mark D in oz.

[01 AUG 98] From Australia
Hi, my name is Ian McKay. I have been viewing the
site for over a year and I still reckon the Gents Web Cam was the best! At
least you could see faces! (Did I spell that right)?
Anyway I emigrated to Australia in 1988. Used to work at
Morris Engines number 2 factory in the mid eighties then ran my own business for a couple
of years. Most people knew me as Skip. Would like to hear from anyone who knew me.
