Europa Road skeleton
SIMON PARKES LINK RULED OUT
By Brian Reyes
Detectives have ruled out any link between the Europa Road skeleton and missing sailor Simon Parkes, who vanished in Gibraltar in 1986.

Although from the outset investigating officers had thought it highly unlikely that that these were the remains of the young English sailor, they had kept all options open.
As a matter of courtesy, they had even contacted colleagues in the Hampshire Constabulary who worked closely with the Royal Gibraltar Police in the search for the sailor�s body.
But after painstaking work on the bones and close scrutiny of the Parkes case file, detectives are now certain that the Europa Road skeleton is someone else.
�We�ve been able to confirm this is not Simon Parkes,� an RGP spokesman said, adding that the conclusion was based on corroboration between physical and medical evidence.
Work at the scene of the find on a building site near Europa Road was coming to an end on Friday.
The area has been sealed off as a possible crime scene since workers found the bones while building garages behind private homes.
Forensics experts and archaeologists have carried meticulous work, scraping away layers of soil and dirt to uncover and document the bones.
Alongside the remains they have also found a number of buttons believed to be of military origin.
Although the excavation at the site will conclude shortly, the work will continue to try and date the bones and trace the person�s identity.
Although police are keeping an open mind, one theory gaining weight is that the skeleton has some link to the nearby Royal Naval Hospital.
But the investigation has also involved a trawl through files in search of unsolved cases involving missing persons.
A senior officer said there were at least four such cases, though three of those persons had been reported lost at sea.
The fourth case involves a young English soldier who went missing in strange circumstances in 1962.
Private Colin Luke vanished after telling close pals that he was going to swim from Little Bay to Eastern Beach. He was never seen again.
His case came to light after colleagues who served with him in Gibraltar contacted the Chronicle after reading reports of the Europa Road skeleton.
He said Private Luke�s disappearance had been a great loss to their regiment and that he and his fellow soldiers had long sought answers to the mystery.
However police in Gibraltar are handling the case with extreme caution and have not drawn any link to any missing person.
They say it is too early to draw any conclusions and are wary of raising anyone�s hopes.

Europa Road skeleton
EXPERTS STUDY BUTTONS IN ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY REMAINS
By Brian Reyes
Detectives investigating the Europa Road skeleton have sent buttons found next to the bones to the UK for specialist analysis. Archaeologists helping police believe the buttons may be of military origin. If they are right, tracing the regiment could help narrow the scope of the investigation and provide investigators with vital clues as they try to piece together the dead person�s background. Officers are also trawling through files to locate unsolved missing persons cases and will conduct DNA tests if this is deemed appropriate at any stage in the investigation. However police have adopted a slow and meticulous approach to the investigation. They are wary at this stage of linking the skeleton to any individual case. So far investigators have ruled out any connection to missing sailor Simon Parkes, who disappeared in Gibraltar in 1986. They said physical evidence on the bones did not match medical information in police files on the case. One case which officers have not yet ruled out is that of an English soldier who vanished under strange circumstances in 1962. Private Colin Luke went missing after telling close pals that he was going to swim from Little Bay to Eastern Beach. He was never seen again.

Comments:	I am searching for any information on a marriage that may have taken place in Gibraltar - 1880-1884 between a James Watson and Ellen? I think he was in the British Army stationed there and she may have been a Canadian born army daughter. They had a son Harry born in Gibraltar abt 1884. The regiment must have left Gibraltar for Mhow, West Bengal, India after 1886/7 as two other children were born there. Any information would be most appreciated and if the name of his regiment and or service number is included that would be wonderful. Thanks so much. Penny

Comments:	Hello Lionel, I am searching for information about my great Grandmother, Rosalia Payne nee Tavares born Gibraltar born 31st May 1872, married Henry Payne 10th April 1896 in Gibraltar. He was a private in the army service corps aged 27, stationed at Town Range Barracks? She was a spinster aged 22 from Castle Street, Gibraltar. Her father was Adolfo Tavares, a sailor. I have both her birth and marriage certificates. As you can see, she has lost 2 years from her age at the time of her marriage. Her mother was Victoria Olivares Tavares and at the time of Rosalia's birth, they lived on Governors Street. I have noticed that on her birth certificate, which is a copy dated 1st march 1930, the year 1872 has been altered in all 4 places that it appears.I cannot make out what it has been altered from or Why? Rosalia had a sister, Carolina who married Albert Tacon, their son, Willie, was serving as a Gibraltar policeman at the start of the 2nd world war. I have some photographs of the family from about that time. They returned to the UK in about 1900 and had 3 or possibly 4 children. Henry left the army in 1907 and the family lived in Pulham Market, Norfolk. Any help in tracing any of the family names in Gibraltar will be gratefully received. TIA. The first site I've come across that seems to fit the bill nicely. Great job.

Comments:	My mother was Norah Evelyn Shergold, and her parents were William John Shergold, and Agnes Michaela Baker. William was with the Royal Marines and was stationed to Gibraltar shortly after 1907 where he served out his service before becoming a member of the port police in 1920. He died of cancer in 1938 following the death of his son Michael in 1937 of meningitis. What I would like to trace is the family of Agnes Baker. I know that her parents moved to Gibraltar some time between 1896 and 1914, she and William were married in 1918. Her father was Richard Joseph Baker and her mother was Emily Elizabeth Baker (formerly Bussell). They had 3 other children to my knowledge prior to 1891, Richard J, Alfred and Emily, who I believe all went with them and Richard & Alfred were still in Gibraltar in 1938, when my mother left following her fathers death. There are others with the Baker surname at that time who appear to be related to my mother, namely, Acacia Baker, Carlota Baker and Lourdes Baker. But the direct relationship is unknown. I would love to find out more about this arm of my family��.what made Richard take his family to Gibraltar, when did he and Emily die? What happened to his other children and grandchildren? If anyone can help me please contact me on julie@gines.co.uk Thank you

I have no idea why he was born in Gibraltar or how long he lived there for other than the following: His father is listed as John Brodie, Enginner on John CS Brodies marriage certificate. I cant trace John CS Brodie on any English census until 1871, he married in Farnborough in 1865, not sure when he arrived back in England. His father was not listed as deceased. Family legend states that our Brodies were from Scotland but I have not found any evidence to back this up � so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated Regards, Jo

Comments:	My name is Julie, and my mother�s name was Norah Evelyn Shergold, I am trying to find out about her mother�s family. Agnes Michaela Baker born 1893, married my grandfather William John Shergold in Gibraltar in 1918. My grandfather was a Royal marine, and in 1920 on finishing his Marine service he joined the Port Police where he was responsible for checking incoming vessels and visitors. He died in 1938 and his funeral was a very grand occasion with the coffin being carried on a gun carriage. The photos show that the streets were crowded and the shops closed, and the ships in harbour had flags at half mast. So he was much loved and well respected. My mother and her mother moved back to England to be with his family shortly after this. And my grandmother died before I myself was born. My mother also died 11 years ago. I have recently inherited some old photos which has led me to trying to trace my grandmothers family. I believe her father moved the family to Gibraltar sometime between 1897 and 1914. His name was Richard Joseph Baker c.1863 and his wife was Emily Elizabeth Baker ( nee Bussell) c.1868. When Agnes was born in Portsmouth his occupation was a Brass Moulder in the dockyard. I am unsure as to how many brothers or sisters Agnes had, but the 1891 census if correct, shows Richard J Baker c.1886, Alfred Baker c.1888 and Emily c.1890. My grandfather was shown as deceased at the time of my Grandparents marriage in 1918. Prior to my mother leaving Gibraltar in 1938, she got people to sign her autograph book and names that are there are. Alfred Baker, Richard J Baker, Lourdes Baker, Acacia Baker, Carlota Baker. In 1992 my mother was watching a program with Sir Harry Secombe recorded in Gibraltar. He was talking to the Mayor at that time who was a lady. And I gather my mother recognised her surname and wrote to her to ask if she knew someone my mother knew or was related to? The lady Mayor responded that she was an Aunt by marriage, and I gather that contact was made between them. Unfortunately none of this can be traced. I appreciate any assistance you could give me. Yours sincerely Julie Gines

Comments:	Hi, I am researching CRESWELL AND CARVER families who lived in Gibraltar in some numbers from 1822 when Edmund Creswell and Susannah (need Drawbridge) arrived with their 7 children to set up home, while he established himself as Packet Agent and later Postmaster there. His son Edmund succeeded him as Postmaster General, and then Edmund's sister Margaret (Maggie). Would you know of any archives which would show photographs of them or their many children and grandchildren, or newspaper clippings? Edmund II was editor of the Gibraltar Chronicle for several years, I think. Our grandfather was one of Edmund I's sons: Thomas Creswell who married Martha Carver, and they traded in wines and other goods; and we are still in touch with some of the other descendants. Many of them were buried in the Sandpits Cemetary, but I think that this no longer exists? We area coming to Gibraltar at the end of April, so I am hoping we may be able to locate things to see or research while there. Can you help? Hoping for news Regards Carrie and Andrew Creswell.

Comments:	Hi Lionel, I just found out today that my great grandparents were married on Gibralter in 1889. They were called Rosa Hermida and Robert MacDonald (although I think it should have been McDonald). Anyway they had a son William Ross McDonald and there was always a mystery about where he was born - and today I assume that it was Gibralter. They moved back to Scotland but unfortunately William's marriage split up and left 6 children going off in a variety of directions. Dad grew up in Quarrier Homes in Scotland with little knowledge of where he came from apart from knowing that his granny was maybe Spanish. So, I would like to confirm that William was born on Gibralter and wondered if any other members of the family. Help would be much appreciated. I tried to post this on the website but had some difficulties - sorry. Ishbel McDonald from Argyll in Scotland Thanks REPLY: Ishbel, I am sorry I did not make myself clear enough. The Mormon church are the LDS Records from Salt Lake City, USA, they provide their services world wide. "Disregard that part". What I did was check the Hermida name within the Gibraltar Catholic records that I have and did not find any information on that particular name. St Andrew's Church of Scotland, Gibraltar, has a CD with all their records for 40pounds that might have what you are looking for. I believe they ship world-wide. Check out the link below for details. http://www.scotskirkgibraltar.com/ Let me know how you do. Good luck, Lionel
