Armed Forces / Uniform identification please
« on: Friday 09 September 16 23:29 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Can anyone identify which regiment this gentleman might belong to? It says 'Shahen Alexandria' on a cropped part of the photograph if that's of any help?
regards
Jamie

Lancashire / Mary Hannah Woodhouse - Lancaster
« on: Saturday 02 November 13 13:55 GMT (UK) »
Mary Hannah Woodhouse born 1849 in Lancaster to parents Thomas & Jane Woodhouse nee Ray. I have her in 1851 & 1861 census but can't find any trace in later censuses. She is mentioned in her mothers will of 1884 with surname still as Woodhouse, so presumably not married as some siblings are listed with their married surnames.
Was please hoping someone might have more luck in locating her.
Thanks
Jamie

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Elizabeth Havelock Widdrington - a mystery?
« on: Wednesday 09 June 10 16:30 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am hoping someone can find the parents of my GGG grandmother Elizabeth Havelock Widdrington. I have her in every census from 1851 onwards but can't find her anywhere in 1841, where fingers crossed she is living with her parents.
She married in 1849 at All Saints Church in Newcastle to Charles Wright. On the marriage certificate, where condition is 'spinster', she gives her fathers name as William Widdrington - occupation Pitman. However, on the birth certificate of her 2nd child Roger (1852), she gives her name as Elizabeth Havelock Wright formerly Gallon. So is she a Gallon or a Widdrington i'm wondering?
Census details
1851 Heaton High Pit - Elizabeth Wright - age 27 born Newcastle upon Tyne
1861 Old Fold Colliery Gateshead - Elizabeth Wright - age 38 born Northumberland All Saints
1871 Burradon - Elizabeth Wright - age 44 born Northumberland Heaton
1881 Hazlerigg - Elizabeth Write - age 54 born Newcastle Byker
1891 Hazlerigg - Elizabeth Wright - age 67 born Newcastle upon Tyne
1901 Hazlerigg/Camperdown - Elizabeth Wright - age 77 born Heaton Newcastle

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1891 Census - Anyone read this French placename?
« on: Monday 07 June 10 16:08 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Please can anybody read this French birthplace? It's from the 1891 census of Epping, Essex for a Josephine Collin.
I have her on the 1901 census but she is not as specific with her birthplace, simply says 'France - French Subject'.
thanks
Jamie
