London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Burial Record, odd Phrase. COMPLETED
« on: Wednesday 21 October 09 14:04 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
I have been looking at the LMA Burial Index and have come across the following phrase:

"Buried from the dead house"

under the Abode column in the entry of a child buried at 2 months old.
Does anyone know what this could mean?

I thought it could mean Mortuary, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,
Gemma

Europe / Dyke from Switzerland
« on: Sunday 16 August 09 17:47 BST (UK)  »
My Great Grandfather gives his place of birth consistently on census returns as Switzerland.

His name was Joseph George Dyke and my first record of him is his marriage in Cardiff in December 1899. He is 30 years old at the time and a shop assistant.
He gives his father as Henry Dyke (Deceased) Master Mariner.

My great aunt seems to recall Bern mentioned as a place of birth, but she isn't sure about this.
The witnesses on the marriage certificate are both cardiff men, and i cant seem to find any other Dyke's from Switzerland on any census returns.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can move backwards from here?

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / 1851 Wisbech Census
« on: Monday 15 June 09 17:53 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I recall being told some time ago (offline) that i was unlikely to find my relatives on the 1851 census in Wisbech as parts of it had been damaged/lost.
I cant find any mention of this on-line, but equally cannot find my relatives.

Does anyone know if there are actually missing parts to the census and if so is there anywhere which states which areas are missing.

Thank you,
Gemma
