Hi,

I'm posting this for a friend of mine, (well distant relative really).

"Can anyone please explain why someone attesting" to join the Sherwood Foresters Militia (3rd Bttn.) in 1907 should obtain his "discharge by purchase" only a few days later?
Other than a sudden and drastic change in family circumstances, is there some technical reason for this? Maybe the answer could lie with the fact that on his attestation record he states that he already is a member of the 2nd Volunteer bttn. Sherwood Foresters."

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
 
I'm hoping you can help me.
 
I have been looking for the baptism of a George Hodnet(t) for over 10 years now. I believe he came from the Burwarton / Ditton Priors area of Shropshire.
 
The puzzle I have is that for 10 years he has not been on the IGI although the register for Ditton Priors is included, and now all of a sudden he has appeared. I know that not all entries are included, but a distant cousin of mine paid a  researcher to look for him in the registers for Ditton Priors some years ago with no luck.
 
I also know that sometimes entries are submitted to the IGI by family members, and that these can be at times dubious.
 
The information I have is (from the new IGI):
 
George Hodnett
Male
Baptised 24th Feb 1724
Ditton Priors Shropshire
Father = Richrd Hodnett
Mother = Elisabeth
 
Can anyone tell me if this register is available online?
If anyone has these registers, would it be possible to check if he is there?
I just need verification that this entry exists.

Does anyone know why all of a sudden this entry has appeared? The other batch numbers I've found for Ditton Priors are C037411 & C037413. It seems to be very hit and miss as to what is included and what results are found on any given search using these numbers.

Heeelp ....  please?

Hi,

would somebody be so kind as to look up the details of a Caroline England born about 1826, living with a Joseph England (bn. about 1852) and a Jane Carr (bn. about 1875), living in the Holborn district of London.

I would like to know their place of births and also their relationship to each other if possible.

Many thanks

Linda

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a Suffolk marriage index online?

I'm looking for the marriage of Charity Fisher to James Battram (Bartram/Bertram or other permutation).

The marriage probably took place in the 1st decade of the 1800's around the Southwold area.
I have a son John for them born 1809 in Southwold. Their dates of birth from the census records are: James c.1781 and Charity c.1779.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Linda

Hi,

I'm hoping somebody can help me find  a Sarah Colibeare Evers. Possible date of birth 1772 - 1776.

I have a record of a marriage for her to a John Saunders in London in 1798. She is listed as a widow from the Isle of Thanet.

I don't know her maiden name. From another posting, it seems Evers may have been her married name. Whether Colibeare was her maiden name, a middle name or part of her husbands name is not known.

Another rootschatter recommended looking for an Ever's man in and around the area of the Isle of Thanet that married a Sarah, and died  prior to 1798. If this can be found, it may become clear what Sarah's birth name was.

The name Colibeare seems  to have been quite rare. They seem to be mostly concentrated around the Devon Somerset area, but there are a lot of Coolbears in Essex.

Any help would be appreciated.
