Perthshire / Marshall

« on: Sunday 18 September 05 22:51 BST (UK) »

Looking for an Argosy or Argatty House, where a girl named Marshall gave birth in 1941? Can't find either or the places but it was in Perthshire.
Think it may be a home for unmarried mothers, as the mother was not married.
Can anyone help me as I am looking for the House not the woman.

Essex / Rayner Mariners

« on: Thursday 17 March 05 22:11 GMT (UK) »

Don't know if this is the correct place to put this post but hopefully someone can help me. I am trying to find the records of my mariner ancestors who were all born in Essex. I am seeking the ships they served on, and their marine history and hope someone can help.

George Rayner born 1790 and died 16 February 1867 in Essex was classed as a seaman on his death.
William Rayner, his son, born 27 April 1826 in Wivenhoe Essex died 22 November 1907 in Walthamstow.
William’s Sons
George William Heath Rayner born 24 February 1855 in Wivenhoe Essex died 22 February 1905 as a result of an accident on the ship "LORERA". Think he was on the `Sunrise” in 1891 census.
William Clifford Rayner, was working on a ship which arrived in Melbourne, Australia `Elmgamite’ in 13 April 1891.
Harry Rayner born 8 April 1870 he went to sea with his father at the age of 12 in 1882. He came to Australia, and was my grandfather, haven’t found when or what ship he arrived on in Australia. He married in 1899 and occupation was a steward at the time.

Shropshire / POOLE

« on: Sunday 31 October 04 21:27 GMT (UK) »

Hi
Looking for the birth of Jeffrey P00LE in Shrewsbury, as he stated that was his birth place on his marriage in 1838. I think his parents were Jeffrey and Mary Poole nee LLOYD.
I know there are a couple of other Jeffrey POOLEs born in Shropshire, and I would like any contact with anyone researching them. The others were born in Rowton and Atcham.

Thanks
Janette
