Where is the best place depends on what specific record you're looking for.

If you know the area of Ireland that your ancestor lived in I would suggest posting on the relevant county forum in...

I can understand having a lot of sections comes with genealogy, but could we not tidy it up a bit so that the sections are hidden behind a central more streamlined front page, it's the scrolling down...

Was my post. https://www.british-genealogy.com/threads/88389-Use-of-Stepson-in-1911-census

Basically a Walter Aston showed despite being born before his parents married and no birth record or...

Not sure where to put this or if we already have a thread for this but what are some of the more vague entries you've seen on paperwork. Just recein ancestors death certificate and his birth place is...

This is the official government website of ireland:

https://www.gov.ie/

I could only find a link to ordering Birth certs on there rather than marriage ones. Didn't occur to me Co. Tyronne...

Wrong thread

Whilst I know you can't republish records from A**** and F** such as posting to this forum what are the rules on copying for own use. I.e saving the images with details on our copy and pasting...

You should be able to order the actual marriage certificate from this site https://www.
birthsdeathsmarriages.ie/certificates/marriage-certificate/ for a fee.

However if you are after parents...

Did he try a theatre? (sorry couldn't resist).

Certainly seems like an odd experience if I'm honest but if it led him to look why not.



I think part of the issue lies in that we assume a...

It's worth considering that an illegitimate child of an elder child could be registered to the grandparents if not born at the hospital. Although by the 1960s this practice should be rarer than...

It's very common for names to change spelling. Could either be due to mistranscription, enumerate or householder error or an ancestor proffering a different spelling (or adopting a more common...

Given the date he was discharged being a mere three months into the first world war it could be possible that the family simply did not believe he was discharged medically and castigated him for...

Do you know where he was born?

That does seem a little bit over the top for something that happened such a long time ago - especially as you're merely the one who uncovered it. Hardly as if he could be old enough to know the...

I wasn't really thinking very close family. I've already decided unless I'm asked to find something out anything less than 4 generations back is a no-no as there's still people alive (not many...

Thanks just accessed the marriage register on the FMP site. 9 Watery Road is the key here:

Walter Leopold Livingstone - baptism registered abode on 9 Watery Road

It does help. I think you're right. The reason we do this is usual to find stuff out that we might not have been told by the family, or they might frankly not know about if we'd not looked for...

Just want to once again say thanks for the help. Definitely appears that we've smashed through a brick wall on this one from the information you've given me and satisfied my curiosity regarding who...

Lower case in normal sentences. Capitals in census entries (although you should be tabling these anyway)

As geneius has said, best to PM the person (although if they're on default they'll have been emailed that you replied to the thread) as they might not be checking the forum anymore.

Not strictly about writing up history but felt the best place for the topic. How do you get around sharing information with people that might come as a surprise such as family members they've never...

As I've said above needs a lot more evidence gathering to confirm this but very plausible. Discovered a death index record for a Walter Leopold L (possibly Livingstone?) Aston born in the same month...

Also. In this instance giving Walter would have been 4 or so when they got married, it's quite possible that if he does turn out to be a child from a previous marriage (I'll look into this later and...

I'd have assumed if the child had resulted from a previous marriage her actual maiden name rather than the first husbands name would be the one used on later births (Woodward). The parish is written...

It's a 1911 census entry that listed my great-grandparents Thomas Aston (26) and May Violet Aston (26) as resident in Denbigshire married in 1908. In addition to this a child Gwendoline (1) and...
