So I've had issues with a notable discrepancy as to the maiden name of my great grandfather Alfred Arthur Moore's mother. My grandmother, his daughter, told me that she believed his mother's name was Alice Jay.

Other than Alfred's birth registry I found no records for such a person, but through documents on Ancestry, as well as my DNA matches and the birth registries for Alfred's siblings, I've learned her maiden surname was Wenman.

This issue has confused me for a long time. I've checked records to make sure Alice's middle name wasn't Jay, and her own mother's maiden name was Driscoll. I even found a document my Grandfather had made in 2002, which named Alice as Alice Wenman, the source

Hello, for the longest time I've been attempting to find any photo of my paternal great-great grandfather, George Frederick Curtis. He was a private in the grenadier guards during the first world war so I suspect there may be at least a portrait of him somewhere, as there was for his brother Isaac who died during the war.

I've asked all the places I could think to look out of the people I know, such as the two eldest of my great aunt's descendants, who would have inherited any photos. I also asked the oldest living great aunt I have as well as my grandfather. No luck.

Following this, I broadened my search and got into contact with the grandson of George's wife's next of kin when she died.
