Australia / Robert and Charles MANFIELD/MANSFIELD
« on: Monday 08 March 10 03:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I'm looking for anyone who has a connection with the name Mansfield/Manfield (Robert or Charles) in the Tasmanian and Perth areas.  Robert and Charles were both transported in 1850/51.  Robert to Western Australia and Charles to Van Dieman's Land.

Thanks
Kathy

Armed Forces / Researching a soldier
« on: Tuesday 24 November 09 17:53 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

I'm trying to research my gg-grandfathers military career yet don't know where to begin. 

George Dalziel is first recorded in the 1871 Scottish Census at age 18 as a Private in the 32nd Lt Infantry in Edinburgh. 
In the 1881 census he is then recorded as a 'serjeant' in the same regiment in Aldershot.
The next census (1891) he is living in Constantine, Cornwall as a 'Color Sergt' in the 1st V Batt H.C.L.O (I could have the initials wrong as it is hard to read).

Can anyone tell me how I can find out why he moved such distances and what was happening at that time and if there would be any regiment records?

Many thanks
Kathy

Travelling People / Gypsy connection?
« on: Wednesday 04 November 09 20:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I'm new to this - so excuse the lack of understanding of how this works.  I was reading a post where a member called Tiggi has made reference to gypsies and I think our families could be connected.  I would really like to discuss this further but don't know how to contact Tiggi direct - can anyone help or hopefully Tiggi will read this.

Fingers crossed!
