Evening all!
I was pointed to this site by a fellow dog forum member (Don't know her name on here) - thank you Gilly!
Have had a quick shufty through some of the posts and must say you do look a friendly lot!
- I look forward to joining in!
I have started my family research and seemed to be progressing okay BUT - I have come across a couple of things I would like to delve a bit deeper into and don't know where to go from here, so any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
The first one is: My grandfather was found guilty of bigamy (somewhere around the mid 30's I think) and opted to enlist rather than go to prison. My Aunt remembers it being in the local papers of the time - I would like to find this newspaper article AND once I find the exact date of his "conviction" would I be able to find details of the trial etc?
Also - further back I have a Master Mariner (retired) listed on a marriage certificate - how can I find out more about a Master Mariner?
Many thanks for reading
Jo
