Hi

I've found some further records regarding the movements of my great grandfather during WW1.
During his period of service he was moved from one regiment to another, from what I've read not that unusual. But the transfer involved a movement from France back to Home. The transfer document also references a disability.

Has anyone seen this code before or can help translate it?

He was also described as a B1 - which means he was fit to walk and shoot, so the disability referenced is a bit of a mystery. Unless it was the WW1 equivalent of Not Applicable!!

Many thanks

Hi all

Does anyone have any idea of what this is saying?
(Extract from a war record)
Guessing a skin condition of some sort?

Thanks in advance

Hi all

I'm investigating the possibility that a relative of mine was a patient/inmate of Broadmoor in the late 1930s/early 1940s. Indeed I think he may have ended his days there, though I have yet to find his final resting place (or date of his demise). Sadly he has a very common name!

What registration district(s) would you expect someone's death to be registered for deaths at Broadmoor? In theory, it's Easthampstead but could it be a neighbouring district and if so what are they?

And if my relative was taken seriously ill at Broadmoor what major hospital at the time could he have been transferred to? Again looking for clues to a registration district.

And finally (!) really testing someone's expertise on Broadmoor. In the 1930s would it have been an asylum for patients nationwide rather than specifically the SE of England? Asking as my relative was from the North of England though otherwise would have entered the prison system, which I believe Broadmoor was infamous for.

Many thanks

Here’s the Mortgage with understandable words:

No. 225

---

On June 11, 1730, William Whitelegg who resides at Lane End in Northen, also known as Northerden, and William Leigh who resides at Mobberley, both farmers, arranged a mortgage. This was done upon the request of Mary Jepson, the widow of George Jepson, a deceased farmer, who last resided at Mobberley. This mortgage was made to William Royle who resided at Hale, a farmer. The property being mortgaged is a house in Mobberley, which was previously owned by Elizabeth Waterhouse and is currently in the possession of the late George Jepson.

Edit:

Yeomen basically means a Landowner (mostly farms) who is also a farmer.

Many thanks for spending the time responding to my message! I guess my question was less about the translation of language and more about the nature of the deal. Two farmers providing the capital for a loan/mortgage to a third party appears common (in the absence of a High Street Bank!) BUT why would others be involved in the transaction?

Thanks again

Neil

Hello

Looking at the burial records of a church in Cheshire in the 1700s the burials list three names. The name of the deceased, I presume the vicar who conducted the service, and a third name. What does the text say and does anyone know its importance in the record?

Looking at other burials the vicar name appears (as you would expect) on all the burials. The 'third' name is different, sometimes with the same name as the deceased sometimes not. The 'third' person can also be both a man and a woman (so guessing not the person who buried the body!).

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
Example text attached.

Many thanks
Neil
