« on: Sunday 19 February 23 03:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

If possible could someone please see if there is a transcribed copy of a marriage certificate between a Richard Blackmore and Harriet Dart who married in Q4 of 1848 in the Barnstaple district. The marriage would have likely taken place around the Shirwell\Kentisbury areas.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Place of Birth
« on: Saturday 02 October 21 21:09 BST (UK)  »
Can someone please confirm the place of birth in the top row of this image.

Ancestry have it transcribed as Warmond, Suffolk. However it looks more like Starmond but I cannot link it to a current day place in Suffolk.

Hertfordshire / Sarah Hewington of Hatfield
« on: Saturday 12 June 21 16:09 BST (UK)  »
Afternoon

I am trying to trace the origins of my ancestor Sarah Hewington, born c.1780. I've listed her movements below.

- 1802. Marries Benjamin Howard at Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Both listed OTP
- 1802-1811. Children born at Hatfield
- 1811-1817. Unknown
- 1817-1820. Two more children born at North Mimms
- 1841 & 1851 Census' - Residing at North Mimms. Date of birth given as 1786 in 1841 and 1790 in 1851. Place of birth is given as Pauls Walden, Bedfordshire (Hertfordshire?), same as Benjamin.
- 1855. Died and buried at North Mimms. Age given as 75

Looking for Hewington's, I have found a few listed at Hatfield but none around the time Sarah would have been born.

Can anyone help me to confirm when and where Sarah may have been born?

Dorset / Marriage of Francis Hiat & Joan Dudge
« on: Sunday 08 November 20 15:59 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to confirm additional details regarding the marriage of Francis Hiat (Hyatt) & Joan Dudge (Dodge?) which happened in 1763. According to transcripts on Ancestry, FindMyPast and FreeREG this marriage occured at West Buckland, Somerset on 8 May, after a bann on 3 April at the same place.

According to the transcript on Ancestry, this came from FHL film 599466. There is also an additonal transcript from this film recorded on Ancestry that says the marriage occured at Allington, Dorset. It is not clear if this entry is another bann, marriage, or a typo. Whilst Ancestry has images of the West Buckland registers, the marriage images stop at 1748 so I cannot confirm if either individual was residing at Allington leading upto the marriage.

Can anyone help to confirm if the Allington reference is correct/actually exists?

Somerset / Peter Cross 1851 Census
« on: Sunday 01 November 20 22:40 GMT (UK)  »
Can someone help me locate Peter Cross born 1769 Runnington, Somerset in the 1851 census?

In the 1841 census, Peter and his wife, Sarah, can be found living with their daughter Hannah Addison and her family in Langford Budville - Piece 951, Book 7, Folio 12, Page 18. Sarah died in 1844 and according to the GRO Peter died 1853/1854, registered in the Wellington district. However Peter is not with Hannah's family in the 1851 census nor any of his other children that have been traced so far.

Can a fresh set of eyes please see if Peter can be found in this particular census?

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Photo Archive and Salvage Query
« on: Tuesday 11 August 20 09:12 BST (UK)  »
Morning all

This is an odd question but am hoping someone can confirm if it is true. Does anyone know of any specialists in the UK that archive/salvage photos from someone's estate if they pass away with no beneficiaries?

Suffolk / Jemima Sheldrake
« on: Sunday 14 June 20 15:05 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I'm trying to confirm the parents of my ancestor Jemima Sheldrake. She married William Sillett in 1781 at Mickfield and is believed to be the Jemima Sillett who was buried at Debenham in 1838 aged 84, c.1754.

In my notes, I have made a entry for a Jemima Sheldrake who was baptised 25 Dec 1760 at Stonham Parva, aka Little Stonham, to John Sheldrake and Jemima Hayward who were also married there earlier in the year. Unfortuntley I did not make a note of where this information came from and I cannot seem to find it from any of the well known websites.

Can anyone help me in finding the correct baptism record or let me know if the records for Stonham Parva and the surrounding parishes are online anywhere.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Groups Feature on MyHeritage?
« on: Sunday 24 May 20 16:41 BST (UK)  »
Afternoon

Can someone please confirm if there is a custom grouping tool at MyHeritage like AncestryDNA has?

At Ancestry when you review your DNA matches, there are numerous filtering options at the top of the screen including reviewing Unviewed matches but also being able to create custom groups and attach them to matches, which is useful for identifying matches on a particular branch together or grouping a cluster of matches who's relationship is yet to be determined.

At MyHeritage, which has several filtering options when reviewing matches, there doesn’t appear to be the option to create custom groups. Yes there is the option to add a custom note on each match, and there is the AutoCluster tool for grouping matches together, but if you want to review just the matches that have not been looked at yet, or those from a particular branch/group there doesn’t appear to be an effective way of doing this.
