Renfrewshire / Re: Paisley Poor Law Records
« on: Thursday 18 January 18 22:52 GMT (UK)  »

Keckers,

Many Many Thanks.  I have found so many of my relatives that I started taking photos of the pages.  There were too many to take notes.  This is probably going to cost me a small fortune, but It'll be worth every penny.   :D

Again, Thank You.

Christine.

Canada / Re: Samuel Gideon Baggs - Newfoundland.
« on: Friday 06 January 17 18:53 GMT (UK)  »

That one threw me for a few minutes.  Long enough to tell my cousin that he wasn't really a Baggs, and then I read it again.  The last 4 siblings on the 1921 are all said to be stepchildren, but Susannah is only 25, and Samuel, the youngest is 8.  I found birth entries for Joseph Jr. and Ethel May (Minnie) showing their parents were Joseph K and Julia Mulley, married in Revere, Mass. in 1902.  Julia died due to 'premature childbirth' when Samuel was 5 in 1918.  By 1921 Joseph has remarried and he and Susannah have a 20 month old daughter, Elizabeth.  I had to back track quickly and tell my cousin that he had been using the correct surname for 67 years. :-[

Hi Sandra,

Many Thanks for having a look. 

The Samuel Gideon Baggs born 1891 may well be an Uncle, but I haven't managed that far yet.  The Samuel who died 1997 is my cousins father.  He was born to Joseph K. Baggs and Julia Muller in September of 1913. I had hoped his gravestone would have had more information but as it's a soldiers grave, not much there.  The month and date are enough to find him in any records, I just don't know which country to ask.  Canada or the USA :-\.  Samuel's father had a problem with his place of birth too.  It changed on every document as well. ???

Canada / Samuel Gideon Baggs - Newfoundland.
« on: Friday 06 January 17 16:10 GMT (UK)  »
  Good Morning,

  I wonder if anyone can help me with the above individual.  Samuel Gideon Baggs was born, we think, in September 1913, and I am trying to locate a copy of his birth certificate for his son.  How much easier can it be?  I have the month and year, but we have a problem with the location.  On all census records/official documents his birthplace varies between United States and St. John's, Newfoundland.  I have found sibling births in Mass., but can't find Samuels birth in either place.  Can anyone point me in the right direction.

 My cousin, who's parents split up when he was a baby, needs his fathers birth cert. to apply for British Citizenship after having lived in Scotland with his Scottish mum, for 66 years. 

Many Thanks for any help,


Christine.

Dunbartonshire / Re: McFarlane: 1861 census

Hi Heath,

I'm sorry but I know nothing about my Parlane McFarlane.  I've been at a bit of a dead end for years. I'm assuming you have a Duncan McFarlane, but what makes you think he's connected to Parlane?  Maybe between us we can work it out?

Tyrone / Re: 'Bechum' - Does anyone know this surname?
« on: Sunday 31 March 13 23:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

Many Thanks for your rapid response to my query.

You all suggested that the spelling could be wrong, which I have to admit is my own theory.  If you try saying 'Beecham/Beaucham' with an Irish accent to a Scottish Census Enumerator, which is what happened in 1861, then I think we're on the right track.  This would also confirm something my Dad told me years ago - that we had 'French Blood', way back in the day. 

I've posted this query here because my 2x Gt Grandfather and most of his siblings appear to have been born in Camus, Co. Tyrone.  No reason however that Fanny didn't originate in Fermanagh.  Many Thanks for that piece of information gaffy.  Next stop, the Fermanagh page.

Again, Many Thanks folks, and if you have any more ideas or pointers, I'd appreciate it.

Happy Easter,


Christine.

Tyrone / 'Bechum' - Does anyone know this surname?
« on: Saturday 30 March 13 01:10 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help me with the above surname?

My 3x GGrandmother, Fanny Alexander, nee Bechum was born c. 1791/2. Her parents, according to her death certificate, were Matthew Bechum and Rhoda Smith.  Fanny died in Glasgow in 1869 and I'm wondering if the name has been misspelt, as I cannot locate anyone in Ireland with this name. It wouldn't be the first time I've had to try my best Irish accent to locate a name, but this one has me stumped.  Does anyone recognise it, or what it should be?


Many Thanks,
Christine.

Armagh / Re: Lurgan Ancestry website

Hi Ken,

Just wanted to say Congratulations on your 2nd Anniversary.

I have just had a look at your site for the first time (don't know how I missed it before), and was thrilled when my GG Grandparents, James Hamill and Sarah Anne Laverty were at the top of the list.  This is not something that happens often.

Anyway, I have just noticed that you also have Hamill interests, and I wondered if we had any in common.

Congratulations again,

Regards,


Christine.
