Hi, I am looking for any relations of James William Seaman who m a Martha Muriel Purcell in Dublin in 1942. James was the son of a Richard Seaman(My Fathers Brother> who died in 1918 two weeks befrore the end of WW1.
Hopefully Ian W Seaman
Hi March-Hare, I'm actually trying to find any relations of James William Seaman who I now know died in 1961 in Islington as I'm assuming that he & his wife Marta Muriell Purcell had children. If so they probably would be the same age, roughly. as me.
With thanks Telegramsam

In 1962 James W and Martha M Seaman lived at 51, Tytherton Road, Islington, N19. He died in Islington in 1981. If she died in Herts in 2004, she may have been living with or near her children.
From ancestry
Name: Martha Muriel Seaman
Birth Date: 7 Nov 1920
Date of Registration: Jul 2004
Age at Death: 83
Registration district: Barnet
Inferred County: Hertfordshire, Middlesex
Register Number: D12E
District and Subdistrict: 219/1D
Entry Number: 231
I don't know if death certs have name of person registering death but if they do that might be a relative. Would there be a will - I think wills are public after probate?
Hi Carrot99, Many thanks for that. I guess I'll have to try & get a death cert & work back from there. Frustrating this geneology isn't it!! TelegramSam
Searching for births of Seaman children with a mother's maiden name of Purcell across England & Wales between 1941 and 1961 gives:
Susan F Seaman 1956 West Ham
John R Seaman 1955 West Ham
Elizabeth M Seaman 1953 West Ham
Please drop me an email at [email protected] if you would like me to look for their marriages/children for you later this evening ............... hope this helps - they are the ONLY Seaman/Purcell children anywhere in the records between those dates.
Hi March Hare, You are a pal, if these are the relations I've been looking for I'll buy you a drink! I'll let you know what occurs. I'm very grateful for all the help all of the answerbank buffs have given in my quest.
Many thanks TelegramSam.
Hi March Hate, Following on the details you have sent I have found that John R Seaman m a Kathleen M Lillis in 1975 but I can find no address or tel no anywhere in uk. I would assume that he would probably be living near his Mother around Barnet(Where she died). I have been working on him solely as he still has the same surname so any ideas would be most welcome. Do you have a spare crystal ball by any chance!! Cheers TelegramSam
Hello again .... I can look this evening for you .... I know ancestry now has Electoral Role access but haven't tried it yet so not sure what years it covers etc ...... But will look later on and post an update either way on here for you :-)
Kathleen M Seaman show on a search on www.192.com, right up to 2014 ............ John R Seaman is listed alongside her..... I don't have an account with this website, and you need an account/credits to be able to show the postal address. In previous years' listings there have also been a James K Seaman, an Alexandra L Seaman and a Rebecca A Seaman listed too. Ancestry searches show Alexandra Lucy born Brent, 1981, Rebecca Amy born Brent, 1983. I have not found a birth record for James K Seaman with mothers maiden name of Lillis (so this may be another relative other than a child perhaps)
I have searched Facebook (which is difficult as you perhaps know as it's not possible to narrow down location/age) and also LINKEDIN which as you may know is a networking site from professionals/employees ............ I haven't found anything. My final hope will be to look for a marriage of Alexandra or/and Rebecca in the hope that they may have married someone with an unusual name that I may be able to trace on Facebook.
Marriage records are only available up to 2007 ie nothing more recent (online anyway) ................ and there is nothing listed for Alexandra or Rebecca unfortunately. I have tried just a straightforward google search for both girls and also both parents but nothing comes up ............ I think buying a few credits for www.192.com is your best bet - as this will give you the most recent address ............... sorry I can't help more, but hopefully it's a start x
Really sorry Ian, but have drawn a blank - let me know if you think of anything else we can try, or if you want to follow another of the "children" forward ...... more than happy to try and help further if I can x
Yes, Ian - I agree - 192 will give the quickest solution now for you and with the purchase of a fiver or so of credits you will have an address. Good luck - let me know if I can help with anything else though!
