Do you know when or if theyll put any of the other census records online?  When I was in Ireland the National Archives was closed  Im starting to think my family was in the Witness Protection Program.

My Dad, Ken Palmer, was the drummer in the resident modern jazz band at Les Ambassadors in the 1950's and 60's. It was exciting to be allowed to attend along with my Mum, occasionally, for a special treat. I can remember how classy it seemed to my young eyes. The food was very good too. He also ran The Trocadero ballroom with his friend Frank Marsham for a good few years in the late 50's. I have many happy memories of being in the ballroom when it was empty, dancing around and playing the grand piano. Happy days. :)

I was incorrect about the month of birth for John Pelley. The record I had found was June 1849 and his wife was born in February

Looking for family or friends / Davis Family

Hi Karen,

Im new to the NGB Message Boards. I saw your query about the Davis family. Im sorry I cant tell you if your Davis line is connected to Davis House. I find the Davis line in Newfoundland is hard to trace. I dont think there are too many of them. My great-grandfather was William Davis of Bonavista but I hit a brick wall at him. Nothing. Not even a birthdate. Or where he came from. Glad to hear youve had much better luck.

Happy hunting.

Good luck with your searches. If there is any thing I can help with do let me know.
Yes this is an open forum however I am happy for you to email if you would like to discuss things confidentially. Many thanks for sharing what you have ...it is indeed interesting especially ..the link.to the Bell...your dad's name Steve....the fact he was a commis chef...plus you saying he played on the street to make money(I do know my dad was a guitarist) also the dates were correct too...so quite a few simularies to say the least.
I sincerely wish you all the best !
