Devon / Re: Does anyone visit the Devon RO for a marriage look-up?
« on: Saturday 11 December 21 06:09 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks so much for that! It was hidden in plain sight all along!

Re. William EARLAND, I am not certain about his baptism record as he states the following in the censuses [in each one living in Bow]:

Age 30 in 1841; 41 born Bow in 1851; 54 born North Tawton in 1861; 63 born North Tawton in 1871.

On the balance of possibilities, I think he was that bap. 12 Jun 1810 North Tawton.

Catherine KELLAWAY is potentially interesting as I can find only one baptism: 23 Apr 1797 Spreyton but there is a marriage to Nicholas TERRY in Thornbury on 11 Jul 1824. This is quite far away, but he died soon after [buried Sep 1825 Thornbury] - I wondered whether she returned to Bow / Spreyton and remarried but claiming to be a spinster.

On the other hand, as I can find no likely baptism for Nicholas TERRY, it is possible that the Catherine KELLAWAY is an entirely different person.

Devon / Does anyone visit the Devon RO for a marriage look-up?
« on: Friday 10 December 21 16:11 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone have access to the parish record of the marriage of William EARLAND & Catherine KELLAWAY on 31 Mar 1834 at Nymet Tracey / Bow in Devon?

I only have the partial transcriptions from Familysearch & FindMyPast [both just give names and the date], and there is nothing on FreeREG, but I would like to know the full details e.g. any information stated after their names and the names of the witnesses.

Any help appreciated thanks

Kent / Re: Help with new Cityark web pages please!

Have found how to do it - at top of page click on "digitised version". Although it states it is a PDF, it downloads as .ashx However - right click and open it with your PDF program and it opens up OK!

Kent / Help with new Cityark web pages please!
« on: Monday 09 July 18 08:09 BST (UK)  »
Although somewhat tortuous, I did manage to find records at the previous instance of the site. It has changed since I last used it (over a year ago).

Now, looking for a record I cannot seem to open any files.

I can get to the specific file I want to view by using the + symbol on the page but I cannot open the file itself to browse through (as I used to) individual prish records.

Can anyone help please?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Translation from Cyrillic to English
« on: Monday 25 June 18 10:06 BST (UK)  »
I have some marriage and birth [poss. baptism] records from the Lutheran Church in Poland from the 1880s to the 1910s which are, as far as I can make out, written largely in Cyrillic script. As part of Poland was under Russian control at this time, that would not be surprising.

Any advice or help gratefully received with thanks
