Greetings - I'm new to the list - I live in New Zealand.
Apologies first off as, by necessity, this message won't be short. Hoping some kind
person may be able to help.
My name is Harry TRUBSHOE and I have been researching our family name for many years - all
Trubshoe's around the world are, so far, related. However, back in 1984 I was given a
Birth Certificate in the name "TRUBSHOE-BOWER". The TRUBSHOE name is very rare
so I believe that there could be a connection here. Details of the Birth Certificate
are:-
Harry William Courtenay TRUBSHOE-BOWER born 25 February 1910. Registration District is
Ormskirk.
His father was Harry TRUBSHOE-BOWER who was a Second Mate in the Merchant Services. His
address was 87 Burnley Road Ainsdale Birkdale.
His mother was Lilian Elizabeth TRUBSHOE-BOWER (formerly DAVIES).
My research has taken considerable time and I think most avenues of research have been
undertaken. However, yesterday I had a "breakthrough" if you could call it that.
I discovered that Harry William Courtenay TRUBSHOE-BOWER's death (age 0) was
registered in Newtown in June 1910 (ref 11b 119).
Because of the extensive research done my conclusions are now that:-
The parents, above, may not have married or, perhaps because of his occupation they may
not have married in England or Wales. I note that the registration of the birth was in the
June quarter which would usually have been registered in the March quarter with a February
birth. The death is also in the June Quarter but I note that the birth is registered in
Ormskirk and the death is NEWTOWN which is quite some distance apart.
This leads me to think that the baby was sick and Lilian Elizabeth TRUBSHOE (Formerly
DAVIES) probably went home to her mother and that is why the death is registered there.
Well, that's about it .To all you kind people researching the DAVIES name I hope you
can take up this challenge. - I would appreciate any information you may have showing that
Lilian Elizabeth DAVIES married Harry TRUBSHOE-DAVIES and/or any other information that
could lead to me finding the connection between "TRUBSHOE" and
'TRUBSHOE-BOWER". Many thanks.
Harry
