Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Opinions and dates on two sisters
« on: Friday 13 May 11 03:12 BST (UK)  »
At least a decade earlier, if not more.  I was passed a box full of photographs, and these were two of the handful I thought could be my family. Sadly the date means there's no chance of it being whom I thought it was. The saving grace is that there are another two sisters (who look totally different) who are now back in contention. Such a headache.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Opinions and dates on two sisters
« on: Friday 13 May 11 01:44 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I have two photographs, both of which show two sisters together. By their faces I think they're the same people. But I would like some help discovering exactly who they are. My questions are:

1. What are the rough dates of the two photographs?
2. What age difference do you think is between the girls/women?
3. Would you agree that the same people are in both photographs?





Both photographs appear to be copies of originals, so the paper doesn't add much to dating, sadly.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Re: Crowle Parish Registers
« on: Saturday 02 April 11 18:23 BST (UK)  »
Have you tried the IGI?: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/igi/search_igi.asp?clear_form=true
There's also a tool to allow you to search for a surname in a specific parish: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm#PageTitle

Here's what I found on your family:

Mary Ann Bellamy, christened 27 May 1792 in Crowle. Parents John and Mary.

The couple could have been married just across the border in Yorkshire, as there's a marriage for a John Bellamy to Mary Coldthread, 13 June 1790 in Hatfield, Yorkshire.

Other christenings to the same couple in Crowle:
Mary Ann, 26 March 1791 (died in infancy?)
John, 28 May 1793

More christening occur later in Hatfield where they were married:
William Bellamy, born 30 December 1800, christened 29 March 1801
Isaac Bellamy, born 10 April 1804, christened 12 August 1804

The seven years gap suggests they lived elsewhere from 1793 to 1800.

There's a marriage for a Mary Bellamy to a Thomas Gileart, 18 May 1815 in Amcotts.

If you know where one of their children was born, just select the correct parish from the second link at the top and enter the surname. It'll give you all the christenings and you can see which ones are yours.

Lincolnshire / Re: cannot remember which reg to look up
« on: Saturday 02 April 11 17:13 BST (UK)  »
Do you mean the district? That will be Caistor in 1886.

(PS Pindar in Lincolnshire? If they're from the Marsh, I'ld be interested to know.)

Lincolnshire / Re: Castle Carlton Church
« on: Wednesday 30 March 11 22:54 BST (UK)  »
Thanks. I've been to South Reston (and North Reston too), but couldn't find graves older than the mid-1800s.

The link to the graveyard at Castle Carlton just looks like an overgrown patch of woodland. I guess I will have to hack my way through to the graves...

Lincolnshire / Castle Carlton Church
« on: Tuesday 29 March 11 22:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi there, I would like to know if there is still a church and/or graveyard at Castle Carlton. I understand that the church was called Holy Cross and rebuilt in the 1830s, but I cannot find any particular mention of it.

Also, is this the only place where burials before 1800 might be? Neither North or South Restion go back that far, and I'm stumped otherwise.

Thanks.

The Common Room / Re: Keep researching those side lines!
« on: Sunday 13 March 11 16:06 GMT (UK)  »
Oh do keep up with all the sidelines!

Some of us in modern times (even without the help of genealogy) know and interact with very extended families. A fellow recently died in my town whom my father grew up with and knew his whole life as "family" - despite the man being a first cousin once removed of my father's first cousin once removed. Likewise, my brother is good friends with our first cousin once removed, and their children are about the same age and will grow up not only as friends but knowing each other as "family".

Not everybody is aware of all the relationships, but there are plenty of distant ones still maintained. Despite several years of research, my father still only knows the same number of related males bearing his surname as he did before. I can imagine that such situations were far more common a hundred years ago.

The Common Room / Re: Any Lacemaking Ancestors?
« on: Wednesday 23 February 11 19:10 GMT (UK)  »
I have some lace-making ancestors - Morgans from Nottingham - though I think they were also framework knitters/stockingers/cordwainers/glovers, depending on the individual and the year. Because many people doing research first come across occupation information from the census returns, a lot could be hidden. Women and children are often given as "wife" and "scholar" (or even nothing), where in fact they also worked. If your female ancestors aren't listed as having an occupation of their own on the census, look around the local area to see what adult unmarried women were doing. It's a reasonable assumption that in a working-class household the women were economically active to some degree. Of course it isn't proof that they were X or Y, but it can act as a hint.
