Hi,
I'm not sure if you are still looking for Waterford Prison records but I just saw your message now. The Prison records are held on microfilm in Waterford Libraries in the city branch. They do not contain photos but all the other information is in the record, such as address, colour of eyes, hair, distinguishing mark, next of kin etc. However these records are also online on www.findmypast.uk
if you just search for Waterford records.

Hope this helps. Good luck

thank you for your help, i will check it out

London and Middlesex / Re: Frederick Ainsworth born abt May 1842 Hammersmith

Good evening, we have the birth certificate for Frederick Ainsworth (Answorth) b May 1842.  His parents are given as Charles Ainsworth and Elizabeth Radley with address given as Starch Green, Hammersmith.  He was baptised on 21/1/1844, St Pauls Hammersmith with parents recorded as Charles and Elizabeth Ainsworth.

We are still unable to trace Charles or Elizabeth and would welcome any suggestions

many thanks

Hi Pauline, sorry, yes clear thank you.  think I was too entrenched in our original hypothesis to register.  I will await my cousin's confirmation that she definitely has a full copy of Frederick's birth certificate.

thank you all so much for your help.  I believed my cousin had obtained the birth certificate for Frederick Ainsworth 1842 but will double check. Until then it is difficult to move forward.

i have checked out the radleys mentioned in the census and Henry John Radley was a witness at Frederick Ainsworths marriage but still no relationship obvious.  We still think it possible that Frederick Ainsworth and his parents could have been in a workhouse as there is no record between birth and age 19.  Does anyone know how i might find records from the Kensington poor law union please?

kind regards
Brenda

I am looking at them now (a bit late) some of them are Radleys but no relationship is given but on reflection they could possibly be an aunt/uncle.  thanks for the nudge

London and Middlesex / Frederick Ainsworth born abt May 1842 Hammersmith

Hello everyone, I would appreciate help with tracing parents of the above ancestor.
Frederick Ainsworth was born about may 1842 in Hammersmith we believe.  He first appears on the 1861 census aged about 19 and is stated as being a visitor.  We have been unable to trace any records for his parents who we believe to be Charles Ainsworth and Elizabeth Radley. On his marriage certificate in 1866 Frederick states his father to be Charles and is deceased.  In the absence of records from census, marriage or death we wonder if they could have been in the workhouse, possibly the Kensington poor law union but I do not know how to check this.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Many thanks

Canada / land settlement Alberta 1929
« on: Saturday 13 October 18 19:14 BST (UK)  »
sorry if this isn't appropriate for this section but would be grateful for any signposts

I have found that our relatives arrived in Quebec on 20/5/1929 on SS Metagama.  It says the purpose was land settlement in Alberta.  However, the family arrived back in Liverpool again on 17/11/1929 so obviously things didn't work out.

the family are
William Pittham 29
Mary Pittham 29
William Pittham 5
Elizabeth Pittham 3
Kathleen Pittham 3 months

Is there any way I can find out more please?  They lived in Wexford, Ireland


many thanks
