Thank you Mitch, this sort of description could be useful to a lot of people.

Cromwell's civil war?:clap:

Great! Thanks for the heads-up!

It is possible that if the lady had previously been married, she wasn’t sure whether to use her maiden name or the name oshe was known by. If the German name was her maiden name, she might have been...

Don't forget that it must all be confirmed from the certificates and other documents. Scotlands People is reasonably priced, and the certificates are very informative.
Enjoy!

Don't forget that it's only built from the indexes and must be checked from the certificates and other documents. Fortunately, Scotlands People is reasonably priced compared to some other providers,...

Update (just playing to see how far I can get without paying anything)

I asked SP for anyone called Cook living in Lochgelly in 1911 census and with Elsie at the same address:
James age 1, Amy...

If you go to our Scottish section HERE, you will find a collection of stickies about Scottish searches and where to find the data. Much of it is different to England/Wales, but not all. For example,...

Hmmm.. In that case, it looks as though I’m lucky that so many of the family on Mum’s side married their cousins and distant cousins. I even have one 18th century lady who married 3 times and I...

That never occurred to me!

Welcome back, Prue.

You're making this look easy! I thought my Uni account would let me in, but it seems not - we're a Univ of Technology. "Government agent" would explain a couple of things. Boyle WAS in contact with...

Brilliant! Not only for the publication, but also for the fact that it gives his address in 1702! It would be nice to have a copy, but there’s no hurry. He comes under the heading of “fun when stuck...

Interesting. He seems pretty well known on the “Spiritual side”. I wonder whether he was trying to show the the Royal Society the error of their ways.

That’s him. It was in Birch that I first met him. All 4 volumes are on the Internet Arvhive, and fascinating. He wanders through vol 3 and the start of vol 4.

Found it. I see what you mean.

THanks, Sue. I'll have a look for it.
He's not seriously important, it just seems a bit of an achievement to still be an irritant after more than 300 years!

This was a period during which some of...

Since things are quiet at the moment, I thought I'd introduce you to Mr Oliver Hill. This man is not a member of my family, nor linked to my OPS. He's the man who sat quietly through the meetings of...

It was common for live in servants to have families living fairly near by, especially higher servants.

All true. And in one case I know of, bigamist...
It's use to know, though.

Does the 1861 specify married or widow for Florence?

I haven't heard of any changes, or noticed a difference. I'm going to edit your post's title as I think it's possibly something for ADMIN to look at.

Thank you, Peter.

And please let the rest of us know what you find about it!
