Armed Forces / Help needed to identify uniform, please
« on: Tuesday 09 August 22 20:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

Would anyone out there happen to know what regiment the man (my great-uncle) in the photograph might have belonged to? The hat seems quite distinctive, but my military knowledge is not sufficient for me to be able to identify it.

Huge thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help.

Steve

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Re: Can you browse a street in the 1921 census?

They were indeed - thank you so much. I feel daft now for not having seen them there myself. Thank you for your patience and help. It is much appreciated.  :)

Thanks so much everyone for all the top tips. You're very kind, and I greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.

I have now identified the surnames for most of the 16 houses on Maritime Terrace, Pontypridd - though some of the houses do not return any results, which is odd.

Does anyone know whether there is any way to identify occupations, too, aside from searching for particular occupations and hoping they will appear? Most of the street's menfolk would have been involved in coal mining in some way, but the actual job titles could have been many and varied. I don't really know where to start. This is so simple on the other censuses, but not so on the 1921.

So frustrating... I can see first names, sometimes, and other times just initials, but no surnames and no occupations. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps I need a subscription, even if I'm not actually opening each record...

Sussex / Are the East Sussex electoral registers available online
« on: Monday 11 July 22 21:57 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone. I'm struggling to find an online resource anywhere that will tell me which county electoral registers have been digitised (and, if they have, which site they are available on) and which have not yet been. I'm trying to find those for East Sussex in the 1920s and 1930, but as far as I can tell they are not yet on Ancestry or Findmypast. Does anyone know?

Thanks very much in advance.

Thank you, but unless I'm missing something, you can't actually see the names or occupations of the other houses... can you? It looks as if you still have to pay to see each individual record, unlike with the other censuses...

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Can you browse a street in the 1921 census?
« on: Monday 11 July 22 21:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone. Does anyone know if there is a way to browse the 1921 census to see who else was living on a street either side of the specific house you are interested in? I don't really need or want to pay the £2.50 fee on Findmypast to view each and every record; I just wanted to review who else lived there to get a sense for what trades etc. were prevalent on my grandparents' road at the time.

Thanks in advance for any tips or pointers anyone can give.

World War Two / Second World War - professional researcher sought
« on: Friday 08 April 22 00:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone might be able to recommend the services of a really good, specialist researcher who would be able to look into my grandfather's service record and produce a good narrative account? I work a full-time job and have a young family, and am being honest with myself that with the best will in the world, I'm not going to have the time to do a proper job of it myself. If anyone has any recommendations, I would be most grateful. Thank you. :)
