I am looking for my biological father Edwine Metcalfe (Brasil). He worked in the fifties for an international airline at Schiphol Airport. He met my biological mother (Annie Muthert) in 1955 and from this relation I was born the 4/th December 1956. He lived in the Beethovenstraat and had a high function in his branch. As far as I know he should be 75/80 now if he is still alive. As I have no further family I so much like to trace a little bit from myself and hope someone can tell me about the Metcalfe clan in South America or any connection. So Edwine Metcalfe born 1925/1930 worked in Holland 1950/1960 (what I know Brazilian) well educated, something with aviation. Please any link I am grateful.
Yours sincerely Eduard de Boer (adopted name) - Martine Metcalfe real and given name.

I have been trying to find out information on my Great Grandmother Jane Gertrude Metcalfe born about 1883/84. Her father was John and his occupation on her wedding certificate was cab driver. I can't find her on the 1891 or 1901 census though I have downloaded all the Jane's born 1882 to 1885 because I don't know her place of birth. I also have all the pages from the BMD to cover these years. It has been possible to eliminate a lot off the census list if they did not tie in with a father John. She married Harry Pinkney in 1903 - he died 11 days after the wedding. She married a George Hullah and died in 1831 aged 48. If you have a Family tree that contains the above names I would love to hear from you.

I have recently come across the name "Metcalfe" associated with the Church that I now attend. It was known in 1901 as The Peculiar People's chapel, Cressing (Essex). One of the elders was a George Metcalfe who lived with his family at Withers Green (within the parish of Cressing). He was born in about 1835 in Hundon (Suffolk). Any comments?
