London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Military Records ... Help!!!COMPLETED
« on: Saturday 09 June 07 17:00 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to read through my ggrandads Short Service Record.  What is a "Royal Warrant Army Order 66 of 1902"?  There is also an entry that reads ... 'I elect to come under the new rule for Messg All " as issued in A.O. (Special) of W.O. 2/4/98'.  I guess 2/4/98 is the date of issue ... but that's as far as I can  go with this.  Can anyone help?

Huntingdonshire / John Ringrose
« on: Thursday 26 October 06 20:25 BST (UK)  »
I've just started researching my ggggf John Ringrose and his wife Caroline who lived in Bugden (Buckden)? in the early 1800's.  John was a tailor and born about 1796.   Are there any local histories available?  Descriptions of the village an so on?

Regards

Many thanks for your reply.

I will send John Frederick''s marriage certificate as soon as possible.  I don't have a scanner at home but I have a very helpful son who will scan the certificate for me at the weekend. 

Valda has posted some helpful information about where to find the relevant info for marriage registration pre 1837.  I have never been to the Metropolitan Archives so I'm afraid I'm not much help.  I went to the National Archives earlier this year to research my Ggf's military record.   What a great place!  THere's so much to research, I had a hard time keeping focussed.  I will be going back to finish it.  I'm a bit of a novice myself when it comes to research.  I did a lot at Uni but I am out of practice.

I had already found a referrence to John Viner Catling and Sarah Gardner on Ancestry- Pallot's Marriage Index,  but they are only signatures - no other information.  I've tried the IGI but I cant find anything there.

In the mean time, I'll post any information I find on this site.  It is not an easy process.  My Ggf Charlie Catling - was the 'black sheep' of the family and few people knew his background.  If there was trouble, he certainly knew how to find it.  I am grateful to all those who have helped me research the family.  Your post has motivated me to persevere with the research.
I have found that I am becoming more interested in research background information, ... Shoreditch in the 1830's ...and so on.

I am so pleased that you mentioned the term backmaker.  I had been reading it as bookmaker.  It thought it was something to do with printing!

Thankyou again ... will send certificate soon as possible

There are several parish churches in Sheffield, some are now closed or reused as warehouses or pubs.  The main C of E church is the cathedral in the city centre.  Sheffield city library has an archives department and will be able to advise you.  The old city cemetary also has a data base that can be useful if you are researching ancestors in Sheffield.
