Just realised it says "now Lenthall" - not a mystery at all, sorry.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Marriage name extra (can't decipher)
« on: Monday 13 June 22 19:37 BST (UK) »
Hi
I was just looking back at an old marriage entry I had saved and realised there was a couple of extra words after the bride's name (image hopefully attached). It didn't mention that she was widowed but maybe a link back to a previous surname or perhaps a Latin phrase hinting to something interesting!?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Whixley/Barmby Moor burials - KETTLEWELL

Ah yes, baptised 1776 and named after their mother.
I believe their parents Thomas & Margaret married in Whixley in 1765. Margaret was a widow and I believe was previously married to Thomas's brother John in 1761 where we see that she was formerly Margaret Mitchel.
Thomas wrote a will in 1814 which went to probate in 1817 but so far I haven't been able to find his burial record and therefore his age as the time of his death which would be a great help in proving his baptism as there are at least two main contenders.

Hi Barbara
If John is your "3grt great grand uncle" which of his siblings would be your direct ancestor?

Oh I wasn't, I've always had a good success rate, sounds like I've just been lucky then.

World War One / George Holden - army records
« on: Saturday 28 November 20 20:10 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I'm a member of quite a few sites but can't seem to find the army records of my great uncle George Holden. I've found a medal card and one site mentioning he was a prisoner of war but not the 'normal' service records you often find. In case its me being rubbish at searching or they are somewhere else then maybe someone can do a little better than me.
I know his army number was 11263, born c.1889, he was at some point a Corporal and was in the 12th King Royal Rifles at some point.
Any help or guidance appreciated.
Thanks
Damian

My newspaper access is expired at the moment so would definitely be interested to see that. I'm not currently sure where your and my Norburns overlap (I'm sure they must do somewhere) but I can see John has one of those nice baptism records that lists his grandparents (wish they all did!) so that's a good start.
