I think that it is badly worded because if PERSON A was intended to be a quasi tenant, then the duration of that tenancy would need to be specified and directed to them, rather than relying on...

For a marriage to be legal it would have to be registered with the civil authorities. There are a few other criteria relating to where it takes place, and by whom, but civil registration is key. On...

Most sites that use the Civil Registration Index for births will allow you to search for a particular surname and let you specify the mother's maiden name.

For instance if I simply put in my...

I was reading through descriptions of prisoners in Lancaster gaol, and one of the women is described has having had her ears "bored". I presume that was 18th / 19th century equivalent of pierced! I...

I been having a look on Ancestry, and came across a tree that has Charles Hodgetts Cooke's death certificate attached to it.

"R. Cooke, widow" registered the death, and then about 4 or 5 months...

I knew that they were in Poole up to 1928/29, because that is where their children were born.

Thanks for this.

Thank you very much for this. I had previously found that death, and thought it likely, but the index on FreeBMD and FindmyPast only have Charles H.

I have just checked with the GRO...

1939 - I've found nothing for Charles. My friend has the impression that he died around the time they went into the orphanages. However, I am a little wary because she has so little information. I...

It is also possible that she was illegitimate but knew who her father was.

First of all the MoD has not released any service records after 1921. They can applied for by relatives, but it is taking time, and is quite expensive. The link below will take you to other posts...

1. You won't find any records online for those who served in the Korean conflict. The MoD has not released any records for those who served after 1921.

2. As an experiment I went to FMP, and in...

You are quite right, and that is what I have been doing when I start my searches, principally using "England & Wales, Crime, Prisons & Punishment, 1770-1935", which according to the blurb with it...

I spend quite a bit of my time researching criminals ..... Both Ancestry and Findmypast have many useful data sets; some of which are the same, but others are unique to each site.

I think that there must be a glitch in the system Pam. My setting already says 40 posts per page, but I can only see 16 of the 19 "Today" posts!

Well spotted suemalings! Nor can I.

Is this your family:
