dissapeard too he was born 1905 and married 1925 there was two children boy born 1926 girl born 1930 she could possibly be alive we lost contact can any one advise to where to look ive hit a brick wall

Hi. There are a few people who have this gentleman in their tree. If you put his name into the search box above, you could try contacting them to see if they know anything about him. Regards.

When you say that he 'disappeared', do you mean he abandoned his family?

Who was his wife?

What were the names of the children?

Is this the marriage?

I have this problem too. I did find a person with the same unusual name around the right age in the USA, and on ships to South Africa but no way to prove if it was him.

i have wonderd if he did emagreate how do you find out?

Well, blondedays, you could ask someone to do a passenger lookup for you, but if you could please answer the previous posts re names etc., it would really help the helpers to do a bit more searching on your behalf.

hi everyone
i think arthur thomas stonell did abandon his family.
his wife was hannah born 1905 died 1963 they had two children
ernest born 1926 died 1969 and L .J. who may still be alive we lost contact
when ernest died
he is in other peoples trees but they know nothing about him.

it's easy for anyone to change their name, whether or not they emigrated or stayed in the UK.

This probbaly is not what you wanted to hear!


But you can just change your name ............ and as long as it is not for unlawful purposes, it is quite legal.

It can be done by a legal deed, it can be done by publishing a notice int he local paper saying something like "from this date Joe Blow will be known as Joe Smith", or a person can just do it ..... especially if he/she moves to a new part of the country.
