Dear Islander
My wife's father, Percival Neale, was born on Ascension on May 13th, 1895. His father, William George Neale, was a Chief Writer in the Royal Navy. Canon Duncan of St. Mary's church was kind enough to send me data from Percy's baptismal certificate in 2006. William Neale was transferred to Malta the following year and I have a family photo taken there when Percy was barely 2 years old.
Would you be interested in a copy of the photo? Although it was not taken on Ascension, it does show a contemporary view of a lower ranking officer of the RN as he would have looked at the time.
Sincerely, David Mitchell

Hello!
I'd like to have a correspondence with someone from your island (all ages). I'm female, originally from Asia but have been living in Germany for a long time. It would be a pleasure to exchange views etc. with one of you. May I please count on an early reply? Thanks in advance.
Best regards, Renée Klie

Hello from Bill,
I have discovered two of my relatives were born on Ascension Island. From the 1901 census the following information was found:
Bessie Burnett daughter of William Burnett and Mary Jane Burnett born 1888 - Ascension Island, and Florence Jane Burnett born 1890. Would you know if there is a record of their birth on the island?
thanks.
