    Default Trying to find G A Jolliffe

    I have a scan of a letter sent from a G A Jolliffe to C Gordon Jolliffe Esq.

    I have been trying to find out who G A Jollife is with no luck so far.

    The letter was written on 8th April 1936 and the address was Clifton House, Lee-on-solent, Hants.

    The letter is discussing family history and this person might have been contacted by one of my ancestors just because they shared the same surname - they are trying to find a connection.

    In the letter he (I am assuming a he) indicates that his father was from the Isle of Wight and that he (the letter writer) was born in Portsmouth.

    Can anyone make any suggestions how I might track this person down

    Thanks

    There is a George Augustus Jolliffe, born September quarter 1906 at Portsmouth, Vol. 2b Page 419 refers.

    Or ... having just noted your amendment in post #2 :-

    Alfred George Jolliffe, born September quarter 1873, Portsea Island Reg. District. Vol. 2b Page 473 refers.

    Portsea Island district covered the Portsmouth area until 1900.
