Nellie Miller
Hello, I am trying to find out information about my great-grandmother (Nellie Miller Wheeler). My grandmother (Mary Wheeler) was born on Gibraltar on 7 Dec 1907. Her siblings were Constance, Alice and Cecil. Cecil had a son, Robert Wheeler who I believe was born on Gibraltar. I believe Nellie Miller married Joseph Henry Wheeler. I have been told that Nellie was orphaned at a young age and the 1881 census has a Nelly Miller age 2 with the remark "issue of British" who was not living with anyone named Miller at the time. I am trying to find out who were my great-grandmother's (Nellie/Nelly) biological parents. I am unable to find any record of her birth in the archives. Emma Barrett

my ancestor Montegriffo - Gibraltar
I am looking into my ancestor Nicoleta Montegriffo, born in Gibraltar in the early 1800s, married to Andres Stracera. They had a daughter, Domenica Antonia Stacera who married Giovanni Antonio Bianchi, in Gibraltar on July 7 1825. I believe Giovanni was a doctor in Gilbraltar. They moved to Funchal Madeira arounf 1840. I would love to know more about Nicoleta. Can anyone help?

1700s records and info
Hi, I'm in England but my husband's family are descendants of John Crusoe, born in Constantinople in the early 1700s. I know he was living (and married/had a family) in Gibraltar in 1777 and 1791 but was hoping to find someone who could provide more than is on the national archives page as the 1767 census isn't on there and nor are any records re: arrivals.
I have found quite a bit, but it's...challenging...once you get back so far!
Any help/info appreciated.

my great grandfather was born Gibraltar
I hope you may be able to answer my dilemma.
My gxgrandfather was born & baptised St Andrew's Kirk Gibraltar 26/4/1843. I don't know when he moved back to Scotland or much about his parents they were James Bell b.1820 Greenock Scotland & Mary Jane Morrison also Scotland, her name in baptism notice is Martin.
I don't know why his parents were in Gibraltar in 1843 for him to be born there.
Can you suggest where I can look for more information? 826

Anna Maria Pozzo. Joseph Reading
Hi, I am trying to trace my husbands family tree but I am stuck trying to trace his Gibraltar ancestors.
All I have managed to trace on numerous genealogy sites is his Great Grandmother Anna Maria Pozzo who was born 19/9/1849 in Gibraltar her husband was Joseph Reading who was born in England but died in Gibraltar on 13/3/1908. Anna's Father was Franciscus Pozzo and her Mother was Ludovica Gomez, I have no other info on them except that among Joseph and Anna children were Thomas and Aurelia. I believe that a family member was a fireman with one arm and his grandfather was William Patrick Reading and a great uncle Charles Reading was killed at war in 1917.
I would be overjoyed if you were able to help me on any of my husbands ancestors.
Many thanks and kindest regards
