GB,
I'm not asking any member to go and spend their money on 192 etc just for me.

What I am asking is... Does anyone have unwanted spare credit with 192 or Tracemart? Would they mind helping me by looking up my two aunts?

People can decide if they want to help me or not.

If they don't, there is no need to tell me as I can tell by the amount of views from this post.

You are right we agree to disagree.

Goodnight GB!

I help all the time on the boards with lookups on Ancestry and Findmypast for other members. Have even done a few on Scotlandspeople when I had spare credits.

Spent £20 on 192 to help one of my neighbours find some old friends

But still would not dream of asking a member to spend their money on my research.

We are going to have to agree to differ on this one

Hi Flick,
I mentioned that my Aunt's had different fathers, just incase someone thought I could reach one aunt through the another.
Florence Hobden is her married name. She was born Florence Nell Gwynn. She married Richard C Hobden in 1950.

I am sorry you feel that way Glitter Baby. I guess nobody has shown you kindness within family tree research.

A couple of years ago I had money and bought 100 credits from Tracemart to locate family. They do the same thing as 192.com. I didn't need all my credits, so I offered to help people. I helped a lot of people. At that time I didn't know all the names of my married aunts & uncles.

I'm not asking for someone to but certs.. I'm asking if they have a spare credit or 2 on 192 or Tracemart. I would be over the moon with happiness if they could find my lost aunts for my dad.

I am a helpful person and if I can I would help another.

What difference can Florence's father's identity possibly make?

Is HOBDEN the surname by which she would be known today..........if alive?

If so, try looking in the phone books.........in your nearest main public library

There is one possible listed on 192 but again it is the cost to members to do the lookup

If you are not prepared to pay then why should other members burden the cost.

Sorry but I can not afford to buy certs at the moment but would not dream of asking members to pay for them

Not sure how I'm going to find Florence Nell Hobden as she has a different Dad to my dad. My Dad's parents were both previously married.

Wow, thank you both!
Hopefully I will get through to one of them.

Using Google for "Marie V Benson 192" , you can see she lives in Winchester.

If you use bt.com you will see a phone listing for Barrie.

Angela,

Sorry but 192 costs for everyone. Unlikely that members will spend their money.

Hi, I need some help looking for 2 lost aunts. I am looking for Marie V Benson and she has 2 sons Barrie & Howard. She would be about 92 years old and my second Aunt Florence Nell Hobden, she would be about 89 years old. My dad is the youngest out of 15 children. He has often wondered what happened to them. He lost touch with them when he was about 16 years old. I don't have money to look up on 192.com myself. If anyone can look up for me that would be wonderful.

Thankyou for your time.
