England / The mysterious Mrs H Willson.
« on: Wednesday 23 November 16 09:54 GMT (UK)  »
Mrs H Willson (with two ells?) and her connection with my family has puzzled me for many years.
She was present at my Grandmother’s funeral in Liverpool in 1936 and was near the top of the list of mourners, which suggests that she was a relative or a close friend. I have been told that she was married to a man who worked in the War Office, presumably Mr H Willson. They are said to have lived in Westminster Bridge Road, London; number 49 I think. When my Uncle from Liverpool was camping with the Scouts, somewhere in the south east probably in the 1920s, she came to their camp and distributed sweets.
She obviously has some connection with our family and may be related through the Macphersons, Balfes or Carbises.
I would be very grateful for suggestions as to how I should tackle identifying her with the scant detail that I have or, possibly, someone may know of her.

That is a very sad outcome, but thanks to those who have posted photographs.

Berkshire / Christening in St George's Chapel, Windsor
« on: Saturday 07 November 15 09:54 GMT (UK)  »
My wife's relative, William George Felgate, claimed to have been Christened in St George's Chapel, Windsor. He was born abt 1922 when his Father was serving with the LIfe Guards at Windsor.
Is there any way in which I can verify this?

A recent development when opening Firefox.
The Firefox start page opens only part screen. Can anyone suggest how I can put it back to full screen?

Shropshire / Re: William & Sarah Phillips of Shrewsbury
« on: Tuesday 23 June 15 09:58 BST (UK)  »
Thank you both for your interest and additional information. It looks as if it will have to remain a mystery. I half hoped to get a response from one of the Phillips family.

Shropshire / William & Sarah Phillips of Shrewsbury
« on: Tuesday 09 June 15 19:59 BST (UK)  »
I would appreciate any ideas on the following:

In the 1861 census, my ancestors William and Sarah (nee Lockett) Phillips were living in Shrewsbury with their six children, and both claimed to have been born in Whixall, Shropshire. He was a dealer in earthenware.
Several of their older children were born in Longton, Staffs, and I have found the marriage of a likely couple in Longton, both aged 21 and him a pot seller, in 1842.
I am almost convinced that the marriage in Longton is them, but am puzzled as to why they should both pick Whixall as a birthplace.

World War One / Medal entitlement WW1
« on: Sunday 26 October 14 15:02 GMT (UK)  »
I would be grateful for any help in finding the medal entitlement of William S Macpherson.
He was born 19/08/1879, and joined the 10th Black Watch as a private. His regimental number was S/5183. I have looked on the medal roll index, with every possible spelling of his name that I can think of, but without success. I know that he was awarded the military medal.
