I have a very good picture of Allandale Weston Super Mare and some of the patients and staff circa 1938 and 1940 if you are still interested. My Grandad was there during those years.

Occupation Interests / Master Blacksmith Information
« on: Monday 13 July 20 11:04 BST (UK)  »
I have three members of my family who were shown as Master Blacksmiths in the Census records. My questions are what did they have to do to gain the title Master Blacksmith and what records exist if any to back this up?

Worcestershire / Dudley Marriage lookup request
« on: Monday 13 July 20 10:58 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find the entry for the marriage of Peter Holdcroft who married in Dudley first quarter of 1838 to one of the following spouses: Maria Parkes, Hannah Williams, Sarah Hancox, Elizabeth Lawrence. I only have the BMD information and cannot find the actual Marriage register on Find My Past, Ancestry, Family Search or The Genealogist. Could some kind person help?

Many thanks to you all, I had thought the name may be French in origin and many thanks for the early references I seem to have hit on an interesting branch of my ancestors.

The Common Room / Passand Family Origins
« on: Saturday 13 June 20 16:15 BST (UK)  »
I have been researching my family tree and found that one of my ancestors married into the PASSAND family in Warwickshire and Staffordshire, I have gone back to circa 1560. What I cannot seem to find out is an origin of the name and wondered if it was an English surname or a foreign name. Tried searching google no joy. Can anyone help?

Thank you very much for that it is a great help. Yes, it would be useful to have the original Latin so I can add it to the record.
