Europe / Gibraltar Birth Records
« on: Wednesday 07 August 13 23:56 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding the above?

I am trying to trace my great,great, great grandmother's birth.According to the 1851 and 1861 England census she was a British Subject born in Gibraltar in about 1785-1790

I think she was either Ruth Rennison or possibly Ruth Bensusan.

Many thanks

Durham / The Imperial Hotel
« on: Friday 24 June 11 00:14 BST (UK)  »
I have in my collection of photos,one of my GGF,John Shepherd Marshall,standing outside a pub called The Imperial Hotel.His name is above the door as licencee and his wife is in the doorway.On the roof is a hoarding for Steel and Coulson Fine Edinburgh Ales.I think the photo must ahve been taken between 1911 and 1919 as his wife died in Dec 1919.
On all the census forms from 1881 to 1901 he was listed as a police constable for Durham Constabulary.On the 1911 form he is aged 55 and listed as a police pensioner and labourer in the colliery and living in Beech Tce South Moor.I know from his son's military record that in 1919 he was still living in Beech Tce.His wife is buried in South Moor.

I have attached the photo,it might help.

Does anyone know where the Imperial Hotel may have been.It is not the one in Stanley.Any help would be most grateful.
