The Common Room / Re: maltese men who served British armed forces
« on: Tuesday 14 May 24 23:19 BST (UK)  »
Thankyou both ShaunJ & Navysparker for your suggestions. Both good suggestions to persue. Although it is those who served in the army I am trying to locate the list from the Battle of Jutland gives an interesting overview the  proportion from Malta who were involved.

Are there records available for those who are from overseas served in the  British army in WW2?

I’m pleased to see your question as it’s something I’ve always wondered too!

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Collecting information for electoral register

A really clear explanation, thankyou AndyJ. I’ve been back to the source which I was using ( ER 1922) and looked at the neighbouring households and can see that every household has registered so all following the guidance.
The woman I was researching reached the age of 30 in 1919 and I’ve been able to trace her on all the ER up to her death, she moved quite a few times within a small area.

Thankyou both - very useful information. It must have been quite a jobto process all that information and especially so when there was a whole new group ( such as in 1918) to add.

Have I understood correctly from the information you have provided AndyJ2022 that if people didn’t register they could be fined? I notice when updating our current ER it simply says if you don’t return the information you won’t be included and thus not able to vote.

Census and Resource Discussion / Collecting information for electoral register

I know women over the age of 30 gained the vote in 1918.
What i am wondering is how was the information collected in order to compile the electoral register back then? As more people were  able to vote in Parliamentary elections did they have to submit their names & addresses every year?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Close DNA match with no (known) family connection !!
« on: Friday 02 February 24 08:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hi you mention in one of your posts about the knowledge of pregnancy dates in the 1960s not being as accurate as today. If you put this thought together with Biggles50 comment  about the freedom that holidays could bring and your spouse suggestion about Butlins & Blackpool it could be that the father never knew about a pregnancy. Maybe holiday photographs might give you & your DNA match more clues.

World War One / Re: ALLOWANCE granted to Children : WW1

Could this be linked to £ S P as in pre decimal currency?   3/2 would mean 3shillings and 2pence awarded as a weekly allowance.

That is an interesting solution which keeps the tree accurate. thankyou Pheno for your suggestion and jc26red for your input.  I will have a go at doing that. Will be interesting to see how it changes on thru-lines in a day or so.
