Essex / Re: Great Clacton 1871 ,were your family here?
« on: Tuesday 21 July 09 17:18 BST (UK)  »
One of my ancestors was Joseph Allen, son of Samuel, from Great Clacton.
Joseph was born in 1823. Has anyone heard anything about those Allens?
I live in Australia, and am going to visit Colchester in September, just for a couple of days (no car sadly). Can anyone suggest where I might find some records?
Joseph joined the Army and was sent to India, where he married and had family. He never returned to Essex.
Any help would be most appreciated

Unwanted Certificates & Artefacts / Re: An Album of Unknown Photographs

My way around it, is to make copies of the photos, & write on the back of those with a 5B pencil. Serves 2 purposes..... one, you have pictures identified.... two, there is more than one copy, and if they're stored in different places their chance of survival is greater.
For instance I have one copy of "important" photos, and my daughter who lives in another State has the other..... oh and I also share copies with relatives.

Hi,

If anyone else wants a census done msg me before the 6.10.05 and I should be able to do it if you have enough info. Marriages are too impossible sorry all.

mc8 YAY one I can do Whoot!! Ok. I have saved the 'image' but I will give you the details for him. There are a couple of people in the household but you can see them later. (I am so proud to have 1 result lol)
Francis Kemp, 18 Wellington Ter, Head, UN (I think unmarried)  18, Dustman, (born) Surrey, Camberwell.

philipsearching, I checked the other 1/4's and no luck for that year. So at least you know he wasn' born in 1873 lol :D I have all 4 sheets if you want them.

OK. I have officially decided that I hate 1837online. I think it is such a waste of time :(
1000xlch, I searched from what you gave me and it gave tons of results, seems that it just gives you pages and its potluck if the page actually has even one name that you typed in  >:( Anyhow. I looked at the free bdm and took a punt on one Harold G Married in 1966, thinking it would tell me more than the FREEbdm (like the wifes name), seems not. So yeah I don't think I can help you.  :'(

ibbotson, I viewed each of the Woo.... records for 1936 I did find a few Woolfson, but not the one you wanted.. Then I started to wonder if you ment the last name was Semour de Woolfson. So if that is what it is get back to me before my credits die, and I will re search that. Also if you just want the woolfson sheets I have them ready to email. (ok just before I am about to post I see you siggy line... It looks like I am wrong lol So I am looking for DE Woolfson, is that correct?)

Jan_down_south, sorry, but your search is similar to 1000xlch, it just brings up all these results, it doesn't even try to match them at all :( I really hate this 'tool' Meh

joe, again yours is like Jan_down_under and 1000xlch. I have I mentioned my dislike for this service? It doesn't even have an available option to search the wife and husband together. Bah

philipsearching, I searched Harry Mount  b (date doesn't matter to this site) July/Aug/Sept 1873 Totton, Hampshire. None there I am afraid, I even looked for Harold. I have the copy of the page if you want it, I did notice a Harry MountAIN, born in that 3 month period at Wakefield. I am Australian so I have no idea if that is even near lol. I am going to have a look at all of the 1/4's so if that turns up anything I will let you know.

A frustrated Liz
Btw About 10 Credits left
