World War Two / Advice on tracing grandfathers military
« on: Friday 08 June 18 20:00 BST (UK) »
Hello
I have been trying to find out what role my grandad played during his time in the military in WW2. In particular what happened to his regiment during D-Day.
I cannot find anything about him on any of the genealogy sites.
I know very little about him just that he served with the royal engineers during WW2.
His name was Ronald N Richardson born in 1918 in Greenock Scotland.
Would be have been in a Scottish regiment?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Ireland / Query about wedding record
« on: Sunday 03 June 18 08:04 BST (UK) »
Hello
I have been trying to trace a wedding record however had no luck until I found one which matched a lot of elements however the name was not as expected.
I am looking for the record of Patrick Markey and Margaret Mitchell in/around 1869 in Dublin.
I have baptism records with these two listed as mother and father of all their children.
A possible father of Margaret is a Henry Mitchell-62nd regiment.
And a possible sister Mary Anne Mitchell.
Patrick was a painter by trade.
I couldn’t find any record for a Patrick Markey and Margaret Mitchell but did find one for a Patrick Markey and Margaret Curtis in 1869 Dublin. The weird thing is on the record her father is Henry if the 62nd regiment, Patrick is a painter and her witness is Mary Anne Mitchell.
Is this too many similarities to be coincidence? Is anyone experienced enough to have theory on if this is the Margaret I and tracing why her name would be Curtis on the marriage and Mitchell on all her children’s baptisms?
Many thanks Kate

I have only ever found index entry which does not give much information so the ones you have sent links for look like they hold much more information......I didn’t know where to find them so that’s great I’m vrry excited to have a good peek and see if I can start piecing it together......

Thank you! I have used her headstone to find the birth year so fingers crossed the entry is her......I didn’t know about that website and will definitely have a look. Thanks

Hello
I am trying to trace my grandmothers ancestors however am really struggling finding any records which could trace her family.
I think I am struggling as I know little about her and have no living relatives to help as well as finding Irish records a little more difficult to find.
She was born Mary Margaret Markey 1895 Dublin Ireland.
She married Thomas Nicholson in 1920 Dublin however i I Niall this couldn’t find a marriage record but recently found One where she may be recorded as “Maud” on the record.
She came to England in either the 1940/1950 and died in Chester in 1966.
She was known as Margaret and some of her family emigrated to South Africa.
When researching I have looked for census records however there are some very similar names and dates and I am unsure if it is her. (Mary Margaret and margaret Mary).
I do have a marriage index entry And a possible birth index entry but I unsure of how I could trace her mother of father? I cannot find any parish records- she was catholic.
Any advice would be 👍 thanks Kate
