    Thomas William Stubbs was my Uncle. Thank you for posting this Jeffrey. Do you have a family connection or are you interested in Singapore/Malayan history?

    Regards

      I'm the great grand daughter of George Percival Stubbs. I believe he was also your uncle.

      George Percival Stubbs has been entered on some trees and copied to others. Unfortunately some trees have errors. I have tried for some time to find the evidence, birth records, newspapers etc but have not found anything yet. I would love to know if he was my uncle. Best Wishes Robin Stubbs. p.s. What is your name please?

    The only family connection I could possibly have with each and every person I have posted on here is the one where all of us probably came from Adam and Eve :P

    Yes, I am interested in history. In my research on the history of my ancestors and of Penang, Perask nd Singapore I come across loads of information, much of which would be of more use to others, researching their own genealogy, than to me. Rather than ignore or discard, I have chosen to take the little extra effort necessary, to post it here so that it can benefit more people. It's as simple as that.

    Apologies Jeffrey, I did not wish to cause you offence. I merely wished to know if you were a distant relative of mine through a family connection only with the Stubbs family in Singapore and Malaysia. Best wishes with your research.
