Prerogative Court, class Testimentary

I have found the following information on FMP. It is from the Record Office of Ireland 1849.Class Testamentary.
Testators name; Charles Ryan 25 Jan 1849.
What is the significance of the date? This is followed by his residence and Esq. The others have widow,spinster etc. Is this because he had greater social standing?
Year of Probate is 1849 and then there is a number; 187 followed by P or I. What is the significance?
Is all this saying that he actually wrote a will?
Thank you in advance,

FMP 50% off Black Friday offer

Have just received an email offering 50% off FMP - all subscriptions- until 30 November. Use code BFRIDAY15 at checkout. I'd like to take this up but I already have a sub for Britain only that runs out next year. When I click on the link to subscribe it only offers World or PAYG subs, not just Britain. Anyone else get this email? I think I got it because I had a different account last year and the email is sent to the address on that account not the one I use for my current sub. Any ideas how I could renew my current account? I can find no way to do this.

Even though this is a findmypast USA offer for Thanksgiving, you don't have to based in the USA to avail of it - provided you're prepared to pay in US dollars. It works out at about £33 for the year so a real bargain.
As usual, if you subscribe to this offer, remember to untick the auto-renewal box if you don't want to end up paying the full annual sub the year after.

John Suter Marriages

I will try not to bore you with my query but this is the best way that I can explain it.

My ancestor John Suter was b1754 in Buriton and died 1821 also in Buriton Hampshire, he married Hannah Windebank March 1778 in Froxfield Hannah was pregnant when they married and died 6 months later Sept 1778, 3 months after giving birth to William their son. I am sure that John would have re-married being the age that he was but to whom?. I have been in touch with the Hampshire Records Office but sadly could not help me.
If someone has any information or can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.

Kind Regards

Tony Suter

1939 Register

I know some of you have managed to open records so you might be able to answer this one for me.

I recently purchased 240 credits from FMP to check out family members on the above register. They are valid until 17 Feb 2016. When I click on 'update the record' so that I can ask them to open a closed record I don't get the option to request FMP, only to ask TNA. I still have credits available but do I have to have a proper 'subscription'? I did e-mail FMP but their response was not very clear.

I also asked them if the Register included people in the forces as I have not been able to find him (my father joined the RAF in May 1939 and survived the war for many years). Their response did not answer this query but gave me a link to those who died in the Boer War etc!

Any help would be appreciated

ROOTSIRELAND.ie

Hi all,

Have any of you ever used https://rootsireland.ie ?

It costs £18 for a month's subscription, or you can pay more (but less in the long run) for 6 or 12 month subscriptions. Are their records any good? Have you been able to find the sort of things you want?

For example, I would want pre-1860 birth/baptism records for a few people, but there are probably more cost-effective ways of getting those.

I've only used GRONI and Ancestry for Irish genealogy, so I'm keen to learn more about alternative sources of information.

Elizabeth Handcock b c 1845 Lanlivery Cornwall

This is the entry as transcribed on Free Cen for this person in 1861. It is in italics, suggesting some uncertainty on the part of the transcriber. She is in the household of Atwell Cowling, b c 1819, living in Lanlivery. She is described as "daughter in law" (,probably step daughter).

Atwell is shown as living with his "wife", Mary Ann, who he did not marry until 1864. She was formerly known as Ladbrook.

Can someone please check the original record for this entry. It would make perfect sense if the girl's name was Ladbrook.

Baptism Entries Help Pleae

Hi. Can anyone give me some guidance on what may have led to this. I have a Page of entries from Brook Street Baptist Chapel Derby, 1789-1808. All of the entries are by the same Minister and all in the format " Alice Daughter of John and Alice Holmes " ; for example, with the exception of the two I am interested in which are stated as " Ann Bradbury Daughter of William and Ann Robinson" and "Elizabeth Bradbury Daughter of William and Ann Robinson" the entries are two years apart with " Normal" entries between them.
My query is what possible circumstances may have led to the entries in this format. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Help with Ancestry tree again please

lundi 23 novembre 2015

I am on a learning curve having uploaded a tree to Ancestry and doing pretty well on the whole.

I have made a problem for myself today though! .......
Because I uploaded a complete tree and then added some census events I have been getting two census events in the timeline for the same census. Until today I have been able to click 'remove' on one of them. BUT, trying to be clever I clicked on the little page which comes up to ask 'are you are sure'. I did 'click to disable this page' thinking it would allow me to do the removal without an extra click. Sadly that is not the case and now I can't remove any events at all. It just refuses to respond. Drat, that'll teach me not to be too clever.

Anyone got an answer to my problem please, pretty please???

EDIT to say .... I did it. I just had to sign in again and it was back to normal! Phew!
Anne

John Robertson Hendry: possible brick wall - how to proceed?

vendredi 20 novembre 2015

Hi all,

I've been managing to piece together two of my mother's family trees over the past few months, and thanks in no small part to the fantastic effort demonstrated by a few people from this forum among others.

However, I have hit a possible brick wall and simply don't know how to proceed, as I've so far been unable to track down any relatives who may be able to help me with names and dates, and I can't find any information on publicly upload family trees.

I am attempting to trace the descendants of one of my great-grandmother's brothers, John Robertson Hendry. I have birth, marriage and death certificates for John from ScotlandsPeople, and I have a likely date of death for his widow, who I do not believe re-married. There's also a probate entry for John on Ancestry (the Scottish will & probate records went up only a week or two ago) which gives his address and the name of his widow.

However, I am not completely sure what his children were called and so, given that they will have been born in Scotland, I am having great difficulty in moving forward. Yes, SP does have its advantages in the form of 5 credit certificates, but in my experience attempting to trace births without knowing the exact details is essentially impossible. :(

On my notes (written some twenty years ago) I have John's children as being: 'Sam Hendry, Anna Hendry in Sheffield.' Just as written, so I don't know if these are both his children or whether Sam married Anna. I can't even be sure the names are correct, though I'll assume they are. Presumably one or both of them moved to Sheffield at some point as they won't have been born in Sheffield, and yet I can't find a record of an Anna Hendry being born in Scotland.

John was born in 1885 and died in 1921; he married in 1915 and so logically any children will have been born between 1915 and 1921. There are two or three Samuel Hendrys born in Glasgow between those dates, but there are no certificates available to view and I don't really want to spend £12 a pop to find out.

What do you all think? Ideally I don't want to have to wait until the 1921 census. :D

Daniel Dolphin

I have hit the proverbial wall with my Great, Great, Great Grandfather. Perhaps someone can confirm whether the information I have been given could be correct.

Daniel Dolphin married Mary Gray, by special licence, at St George's Church, Bloomsbury, London on 6th September 1829. Going by later census information, his birth would have been c1801, he died in Emsworth, Hampshire(West Sussex) in May 1873. All that is fact. But finding his birth, or parents is a different matter.

A relative of mine in New Zealand also looked to find earlier relations, but could only suggest that he was probably born in the Parish of St. Luke's, Old Street, Middlesex. I have tried contacting each of the churches, only to be told that all the records of the time were transferred to the London Archives. The London Archives said that because of the location, these would have been transferred to the Metropolitan Archives. An enquiry sent to them said they were probably destroyed by enemy action during WW2.

As it stands this seems to be the end of the road.

The Genealogist website

Has anyone else tried this website (I am on a free trial at the moment which expires on 27th.
I tried looking for a relative who I am having great trouble finding - nothing.
I tried looking up BMDs on others who I already have on my Tree and couldn't get anything at all on the various names.
I tried looking myself up and found nothing!

Is there something different about how this website works as I have had absolutely no success with anything I have tried to find i.e. - doesn't exist.

I have been given a copy of newspaper cutting regarding the funeral of Seamus O' Sullivan, NO date on the cutting though.

It reads…. Seamus O' Sullivan K.M., 114 O'Connell St. Limerick died aged 83. The late Mr O'Sullivan was a director of E. D. O'Sullivan & Co. Ltd., shoe specialists for over 20 years. He was a Captain in the IRA and was in the GPO Garrison during the 1916 Rising. He is survived by sons: Mr E. D. O'Sullivan, Mr J. D. O'Sullivan. Daughters: Miss L O'Sullivan, Mrs K O'Nolan. Sister LOUISA POLLARD and sister-in-law Mrs E. Dore.
Funeral at St. Michael's Churchto St Lawrence Cemetery following Requiem Mass.
A Guard of Honor formed by Limerick Knights of Malta.

(I know the full names of the above persons but not given them just in case the are still alive. I know Louisa had died as I have her death certificate as she was married to my grandpop’s brother Francis Dominic Pollard.)

Re-Bureau of Military History, 1913-1921.
Have found a Statement by Seamus O' Sullivan signed 1st June 1950 which gives his address as The Bungalow, Revington Park, Limerick, Ireland.

Other Surnames related to the O'Sullivan family are Daly and Clarke, I would be pleased to hear from anyone who might be related.

Ancestry - UK switch over to new version is

is 15 Dec - just popped up on my front page.
Ancestry - UK switch over to new version is

Nathaniel M Pigott - the challenge continues.........

This gentleman is the brick wall I most want to raze to rubble but even after 8yrs I have probably only just loosened some mortar but at the same time probably added another layer of bricks! So if you have some spare time and fancy a challenge I'd be very grateful for some fresh eyes - mine are jaded.

The family returned from Australia on 30 September 1896 on the Austral. Mr & Mrs C R Pigott, J S Pigott 13, Four children and 1 infant. which accounts for all the births of the children they had before leaving for Australia and the ones they had in Australia apart from the illusive Nathaniel - whose birth is a mystery.

Nathaniel first pops up in the 1901 census.

The 1901 census record reference is RG13 Piece 800 Folio 52 Page 16 and he is shown as son born in Bega NSW Australia - but his birth has already been searched for in Australia and not been found - all his siblings who were born there births have been found and he wasn't with them on the ship.

Then along comes the 1911 census

The 1911 census record reference in RG14 Piece 4374 Registration District 59 Household Schedule 68. It shows 8 living children - all found and accounted for and 3 deceased children - 2 accounted for so GUESSING the third is Nathaniel but no record of his death in the UK can be found. The family lived in Whitstable in Kent so the registration area is Blean.

I came across a medal sold 28 March 2012 by Dix Noonan and Webb - the listing had Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 4 clasps, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal, South Africa 1902 (5456 Pte. M. Pigott, 2nd Dragoon Gds.) some edge bruising to reverse, very fine £90-120. I contacted the QDG archives and they confirmed the soldier with that number was a Nathaniel M Pigott and provided the following information.

Thank you for your request for information on the above named soldier. This has been a long and difficult search with I am afraid very poor results. (see below). This record will be kept alive and if any new information arrives we will inform you.

PRIVATE NATAHNIEL M PIGOTT 5456 QUEENS BAYS (2ND DRAGOON GUARDS)
Enlisted c1901 possibly Aldershot
Records searched:
1901 Barrack census dated 31st March 1901 Aldershot. (He does not appear on this roll).
1901 Barrack census for 3rd Station Hospital Wellington Lines Aldershot (He does not appear on this roll)
1901 South Africa Medal roll. He appears as a Private on this roll entitled to the South Africa Medal with 4 clasps Cape Colony: Orange Free State: Transvaal: SA02 Location of medal not known.
1901-02 List of casualties for the Boer War (He does not appear on this list)
WW1 1914 Star Roll. (He does not appear on this list)
On-Line Records at findmypast and ancestry. Apart from his entry on the SA medal roll no records could be found.
When the peace treaty was signed to end the war in SA the Queens Bays moved to Middleburgh where they spent the next 5 years on occupation duties. They returned to London (Hounslow) in 1908.
In 1910 they moved to Aldershot, Hampshire where they stayed until embarking for France & Flanders in 1914

In all this he was allegedly born in 1889 so he would've somewhere between 12 -14 when he was in the QDG and fighting in the Boer war. Not necessarily impossible I know.

I'm fast beginning to think he was an unofficial adopted son which if that is the case I probably don't have any chance of finding out who he really was - but do we think it is safe to assume he had died by 1911 as he appears to be included in the number of children of the family and possibly died in South Africa - in which case why is there no record of his death in QDG archives?.

The 10 family children are as follows:
Shreeve John Paynton Pigott b 26 Feb 1883 Canterbury Kent UK d 2 Nov 1956 Guildford Surrey England
Amelia Grace Mary Pigott b 1886 B'ham UK d 1963 UK
Ralph Pigott b 1888 Jellet NSW Australia d 25 Sept 1916 France
Augusta Claudia Pigott b 9 Jul 1891 Picton NSW Australia d 1979 UK
Cecilia Ann Maud Pigott b 9 Sept 1894 Picton NSW Australia d 1958 UK
Launcelot Pouncey Pigott b 8 Feb 1896 Picton NSW Australia d 1958 UK
Henriette Marguerite Piggot b&d 1897 Kent UK
Richard Barrington Pigott b 11 Jan 1899 Kent UK d 21 Dec 1916 France
Charles Judd Pigott b 1905 d 1906 Kent UK
Rosemary Agnes Pigott b 1907 Kent UK d 1919 Kent UK

Nathaniel would've been born between Ralph and Augusta.

Samuel Strachan was born 15/11/1879 in East Rainton, Durham along with his siblings James 1876 & Margaret 1882. The 1901 census has him living with his parents and the 1911 one he is married to Elizabeth Dinning but other than these I cannot find anything else for him, not even his birth.

Samuel's marriage certificate names his parents as Thomas & Margaret ? I cannot find Margaret's maiden name. I believe his parents originated from Scotland and married there. I suspect they had other children before Samuel as Margaret was 33yrs old when Samuel was born. I have trawled the Scotland Peoples web site and have found a Thomas Strachan ( b:1846) & Margaret Cranston (b:1846)marrying in 1863 they have 2 sons and a daughter but I don't know if this one is the right as there were other Thomas & Margaret marriages.
Can anyone help me climb my branches!
Stumped Tree!

I wondered if someone may have had relatives Emigrating to America or maybe one of the names mentioned in the article may interest you.

George James RESS [sic] 1911 Look-up please

Surname should be REES of course, and this set of records is not among those at Ancestry [that's why I could never find him when I had a sub]. However, on doing a casual search today at Familysearch I found:

Name George James Ress
Event Type Census
Event Date 1911
County Overseas Military
Age 21
Birthplace Cowes Isle Of Wight, Hampshire
Record Type Institution

And FMP have the record of course.

I wonder if some kind FTFer would let me know what is on the census for him, esp. which regiment / where located.

Thanks

Ancestor missing in 1851 and 1871 census

mercredi 11 novembre 2015

I have hit a brick wall with my ancestor named George Ricketts, he was born in London 1821. At some stage he moved to Derby and worked for Midland Railway. He married a Hannah Fletcher in 1848, on the marriage certificate he was a Pointer on the Railway but he then became a Valet/Butler. I cannot find him anywhere on the 1851 census and is not listed with Hannah. However I know he came home as he was there for the death of a child in 1853. I also cannot find him in 1871 but in 1861 he was at home with Hannah. I have tried everything. My question really is - is there a list of people in service and can I find him any other way? I also cannot find him in 1841 but do not know alot about him before he moved to Belper in Derby. Any help would be gratefully received.

British Columbia BMD images at Familysearch

Last time I looked at British Columbia records at Familysearch they had partial transcriptions only. Now I see there are many downloadable images which I've had fun with today (dates are not all the same or complete but it covers quite a large period).

So this is just a "heads up" for anyone with BC rellies.

Help with Ancestry tree please

I have finally taken the plunge and uploaded a Gedcom to Ancestry. I'm quite pleased with the result, particularly the way it has retained my own sources, which are in my own note form.

I am enjoying discovering a few more sources from 'Hints' but am coming unstuck with one aspect (I think I have noticed the problem on other people's tree). If I add a marriage source to a couple already on the tree it makes two marriage events with two sets bride and groom. I then have a difficult job of deciding which ones to delete (not the ones with the descendants!!) and when I do so the source is removed.

I think (from my FH program) I should be adding the source to the COUPLE or EVENT and not to one person but I can't for the life of me see how to do this. HELP!!!!

Free anti-virus software

As a customer of TalkTalk (I understand the hackers have my bank sortcode and account number and my e-mail address) and already being a bit paranoid about being hacked into I am now considering installing something extra like free AVG as an anti-virus program. I am already using Microsoft Security Essentials.

1. Is MSE sufficient on it's own to keep me protected
2. Will they work together or will I have to uninstal MSE

Any advise would be gratefully received.

Waldron of Plymouth, 1904 ish

mardi 10 novembre 2015

From FMP I have the baptism record of Elester Waldron, b. 29th Sep 1904 and baptised 16th Oct 1904,St Mark's, Ford, Plymouth. The parents are given as Samuel & Emily Waldron.

What I have not been able to find are

i) The marriage of Samuel and Emily
ii) The death of Samuel which I believe must have occured 1904/5 as Emily goes on to marry Malachi Stark Q1 1905. The 1905 marriage registration give the name of Emily Louisa Waldron.

Suspect I will have to get the certificate to pin this down but was wondering if anybody is able to help.

Lots of confusion over Elester's name in various family tree - Waldron, Waldon, Maldron, Maldon etc, etc

Thanks for any help you can provide

Something odd happened to picture!

I wonder if anyone can help me - there is a probable solution which is simple BUT a) don't know what it is and b) haven't a clue how to use the "clever stuff" on the computer. Typing is my only skill!

I was given a photo of my father's wife. I added it to "my photos" and uploaded it to my Tree. The picture disappeared - I reloaded and it happened again - never so it go!

I tried to upload it today and it is no longer a the correct sort of file that ancestry will accept - it had become a ?rtl file - I copied it and resaved it and it promptly became a pdf file - I have scanned my computer - there are no bugs. What on earth has gone wrong. More importantly, how can I put in right and upload this picture to my photos in a form that can be added to my ancestry tree.

Perplexed and ignorant .............Sue

Burial Records

How many records are wrong on Ancestry , Findmypast and Family Search ?
Let me explain.

In my tree on Ancestry I have Elizabeth Sarah Flux B. 1849 Newport Isle of Wight .
She Married Richard Bird Cheverton ( B 1845 Shanklin Isle of Wight ) in 1870 at St Thomas Ryde Isle of Wight .

As soon as I entered the Marriage Ancestry gave me a Death for Elizabeth Sarah in 1901 on Isle of Wight ( correct ) and a Burial record for her
1 May 1901 in LANCASHIRE .

I had similar records offered for Richard Bird Cheverton in 1933 .

The Burials in Lancashire did not look right so I looked on Findmypast and they had exactly the same .

I wrote to Ancestry and got no reply ( no change there ) and I wrote to Findmypast , they replied ,

“ Unfortunately as this data is licensed from Family Search we are not at liberty to make an amendment to the records without their agreement and this is the reason there is no facility to report an error. “

I then wrote to Family Search and they replied ,

“ We understand there are transcribed errors in the results from film number 1470881. The record in question shows a system origin of 'England-EASy'. This is one*of the legacy collections and was created by volunteer indexes prior to our current arbitration procedures. As a consequence, the indexed records contain numerous errors. *In the future the original records will be available online and will possibly be indexed again, therefore we are not making corrections at this time. “

So as this batch of Burials contains 5,495 wrongly transcribed as Lancashire instead of Hampshire one has to wonder how many more are wrong .
Newport Record Office have supplied me with the correct location of Richard Bird Cheverton and his Wife Elizabeth Sarah , which is Fairlee Road Cemetery Newport Isle of Wight .

Eliza Susan Crump

mardi 3 novembre 2015

I am trying to find anything at all for Eliza Susan Crump after 1911. I have found her on the 1911 census but nothing after this date. Really don’t know where else to look.

Eliza Crump was born 2nd February 1890 in Poplar. Mother is Annie Crump but no Father listed on her Baptism record. She was brought up by her Grandparents ( George & Susan Crump) and on the 1891 census is shown as their Daughter, Ten years later, in 1901, Eliza is shown as Niece as her Uncle is now head of the household.

In 1909 she was baptized again ( when she was 19 ) at St Anselm, Davies street (Hanover Chapel) London. This time as Eliza Susan Crump but parents names unknown. Her date of birth is 2nd February 1890.The ceremony was conducted by an Edward ( can’t quite decipher his surname ) from the Society of St John the Evangelist – not sure if this last sentence is relevant or not.

Two years later, in 1911, as Eliza Susan Crump, she is a Housemaid at 8 St George's Home, Bourdon Street which is a kind of training home for young women.

Wondered if anyone had any ideas where I could go from here.
Thank you
Pauline

1939 register - missing great grandparents

Hi all

As I mentioned on the main 1939 register thread, I'm unable to find my great grand father and his family on the 1939 register - thank you Val for suggesting I start this thread.

His date of birth (and therefore birth certificate) is a mystery to me and has been for a number of years so I was hoping that the register may help to narrow this down (previous thread: http://ift.tt/1LLOn7x )

Please don't anyone use any credits opening households - I'm just looking for some possibilities for the family before I go blowing my birthday money on credits!

This is all that I know about the family:

Alexander Lowther (great grandfather):
Born - towards the end of 1904 or the very start of 1905 - based on ages given in the 1911 census, his marriage certificate and death certificate - his age does seem to be pretty consistent, location per 1911 census was Benwell, Northumberland; parents believed to be John Henry (also known as Henry John) Lowther and Jane Moore
Census - 1911 census (living 31 Milton Street, Greenside, Ryton on Tyne with parents, 2 brothers and a sister)
Marriage - 5 December 1925 - Castle Ward district, Northumberland
Death - 29 July 1959

Ruth Annie Elliot (great grandmother):
Born - 7 July 1906 - Rothbury, Northumberland; parents Georgina White and James Elliot (James died inn WW1 so Georgina was remarried by 1939 to John Fitzpatrick)
Marriage - as above
Death - Q2 1983 - Newcastle Upon Tyne

Alexander and Ruth had two children - Alexander (b 1926 d 2013) who was born in Hazelrigg, Northumberland, and a girl (b 1927 d - could possibly be alive still) born in Castle Ward district, Northumberland


Alexander's parents were originally from Cumberland, but had moved to Northumberland during the 1900's before moving to Durham; whilst Ruth's parents were originally from Northumberland. The family were very much based in Northumberland by the 1940's and 1950's so I would expect to find them here in 1939 (but have also looked at both Cumberland and Durham)

Any suggestions for possible households to check out?

Many thanks in advance
