Thanks for reading this far!
I have a bit of an issue with James's birth dates,  poss bap 1844 - 1852 youngest he ever states.
I cannot find Mary Ann/Ann in 1861- presumably around Ettingshall somewhere.
Ann Richards is never Mary Ann Richards!

My James is not the one in Ditton Priors, in 1851/1861-
I do not agree with the other two trees on ancestry that have his mother as Ann Cooper.

Do you think my research looks ok?
Can you find my James before 1871?

Wow, that was a mission just writing it all out.
over to you RC community.

I wonder if somebody could me to find a map of Holdford Road, Handsworth.
Right at the bottom of Holdford road near Witton Road there were a group of houses, perhaps courts. Im specifically looking for a map that names these roads/courts.

From the 1930 Electoral Roll, they are likely called, Windsor place, Osborne Place and Ventnor place.

The 1930 Electroal Roll in question covers, London road, Gatling road, Holdford road, Railway road and  Witton Road-north side of Aston road and the Tame River.

I have checked the NLS sidebyside maps, and Oldmaps online but these streets dont seem to be named anywhere.

Thank you

hi. im looking for some help regarding TA Army regulations in 1933.
Frank Bailey attested for the royal artillery in 1924.
he was discharged from service 18 may 1933 under para 199- (possibly time served?)
he rejoined in october 1939 for the R.A.S.C and is commemorated at Alamein Memorial, Egypt, died 11 june 1942.

The TA army regulations dont seem to be online so i cant find out exactly what para 199 says/means. He obviously wasnt injured as he was allowed to re-sign up.

can anybody help? tia

Hi There I'm wondering if somebody could help me untangle this family of 4th and 5th great grandparents.

3 February 1850 John Harwood marries Ellen Yates at the parish church of Manchester (cathedral)

John (1826) is the son of William and Sarah Harwood- nee Yates. and in 1841 the family is living at Rodgers Row, Manchester.

Ellen Yates (c1820) is the daughter of Thomas Yates. Occ: Dyer
(But in 1841 was living as Ellen Skine at Back queen St, Manchester.)

1851 census
12 Rodgers Row, Manchester

William Harwood. 64 1787- Fustian Cutter  -Manchester
Sarah Harwood    62 1789- Fustian Cutter  -Manchester (nee Yates)
Thomas Yates      64 1787- Cotton Dyer     -Flixton (lodger )

I'm trying to work out if, as well as being in-laws through their childrens marriage, Thomas Yates and Sarah Yates/ Harwood could be brother and sister.

any help greatly received

Hi all, I'm in a bit of a confused state with both this family and Herefordshire PR's (of which there doesn't seem to be many)

details of the family are below.
 I am mainly looking for help in finding Thomas Bowcott's marriage to Hannah, presumably somewhere in Herefordshire, and around 1816 +-5
The birth of the last daughter Elizabeth suggests mmn of Edwards but of course there may be 2 marriages to Hannah's

I'm also looking for help in finding the missing baptisms. FindMyPast have very little in the way of early H'shire PR's. I have also searched extensively on Familysearch.
Parish chest doesn't seem to offer many PR's either!!

finally if anyone can find Thomas and/or Hannah in the 1851 census....(I doubt this one though)

1841 census
new town, stoke edith, Hereford and Dore.

Thomas Boulcot    45 1796 ag lab (y)
Hannah                45 1796           (y)
eliza Boulcot         20 1820                      (later census says POB Aymestrey)
Thomas boulcot    18 1823               (possible baptism 23 april 1823 aymestry)(later census Dilwyn)
John Boulcot         12 1829                (later census say Felton)
Emma boulcot       9 1832                 (possible bap 22 jan 1832 Ocle Pychard)
Charles boulcot     7  1834                   (later census possibly westhide)
George boulcot      4 1837                    (later census westhide)
Elizabeth boulcot    9m 1840                 (poss bap 30 aug 1840 Withington/ GRO mmn Edwards)

probable other children

Elizabeth bottcate bap 1 nov 1818 Elton, herefordshire
James Bowkitt bap 28 nov 1820 burrington, "   (later census say only Hereford)
William Bowcutt     C1829/32                           (Later census say Dilwyn)

The family are missing as a whole in 1851.
Eliza, James, Thomas and William have definitely moved out and are all marrying between 1849 and 1854 in Staffordshire.

1861 census
Shucknall cottage, Weston beggard

Thomas bowcott    65 1796 felton
Hannah (Edwards) 64 1797 Bradnor, Wales
George bowcott     25 1837 Weston Beggard

finally, thank you for reading and thanks in advance of any help
