Good Morning

I have both a death entry and a marriage entry from parish records in Norway and am having difficulty with some of the translation and wonder if there is anyone on this forum who could assist.

Lanarkshire / Glagow Town Crier/Bellman
« on: Monday 03 September 18 16:14 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have a two fold look up request concerning my ggg grandfather William Levett/Levitt who was a bellman in Hull for many years from 1830's-1870's, and one of his daughters, Ann, who according to all records I have, census etc  was born in Glasgow sometime between 1825 - 1831 (age discrepancies on census records, and marriage and death certs). I would love to find out the DoB for Ann and also if there is any info regarding her father as the town crier at the time.

TIA
Steve

US Lookup Requests / Help With Pension Record Please
« on: Tuesday 15 May 18 10:00 BST (UK)  »
I have found a pension record I believe is for my gg grandfather Charles Henning and I understand that I can order copies of the application file from the National Archives website. However I am unsure as to whether or not the pension record is based on Federal military service rather than state or confererate.

This is the link to the document I have found: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KDYY-QT6

Also Charles would have been 58 years old at the time of the invalid date on the pension record, is that too old to have served, or is this record for another Charles Henning with a wife Anna M Henning?

I would be very grateful for some guidance before I part with any money as the fee's are quite high.

NB: Seems the 32nd Massachusetts Voluntary Infantry regiment disbanded in 1865. My Charles Henning emigrated to the US sometime between 1861-1863 and was not naturalized until 1868. Is it likely he could have been a volunteer, would they have accepted non US citizens?

Have not found this record on either FS or FindMyPast, I dont have Ancestry so wonder could someone have a look please:

Arthur J Goppert born 1890 New York
Bella Taggart born New Jersey 1889

They married sometime between 1910 & 1913 I believe as living in East Newark on 1915 state census with a 1 yr old daughter Ruth.
