Armed Forces / Re: MARRIAGE DURING SERVICE
« on: Wednesday 28 January 09 17:25 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Neil & Scrimnet! Some interesting info there!

I think i have found the record of the marriage now.... going to order it tonight....  a very helpful person on Genes Reunited managed to literally no sooner I a made a similar post - managed to give me a whole load of information - including his Military Records - apparently from Ancestory ... I have searched and searched (I'm obviously doing something wrong) yet cannot find them - although from what I gather he is down as George WOTTON. The information I was given though matched together perfectly ....

So ... any ideas on how to obtain Military Records from Ancestory?   ... all I can find is WWI Medal Rolls etc but George served in the Essex Regiment well before the Great War.

Any help would be appreciated - I am desperate to see these records.

Armed Forces / Marriage during Service
« on: Tuesday 27 January 09 21:53 GMT (UK)  »
I am just starting to do my maternal family tree and I have already hit a brick wall! ......

My Great Grandad GEORGE FREDERICK WOOTTON (c1882) married a FLORENCE WOOD between 1900 (earliest) and 1908 - their first child was born in 1908.

However because he was in the army (ESSEX REGIMENT - 56th FOOT) I am finding it difficult to try and trace their marriage!  I need the certificate to try and confirm his fathers name! Apparently George left home at 14 because of his STEP father whose name was never discussed!

Could anyone please help on this - were military marriages different from civil ones so to speak and where could I obtain the information required from.

Thanks in advance

The Common Room / ELECTORAL ROLE - 1969

Are there any sites that you are aware of that would give me details of say between 1950-1970 Electoral Role for the London area.

Any advise would be appreciated

Thanks for the info ....

Ill hopefully be popping across to Bolton to go see my folks soon, so I'll more than likely go to both Manchester Central Library and Salford then.

Thanks again

Lancashire / Re: John Murray c1900

Well these are the marriages I have found in Manchester between 1890-1900 for "John Murray"

1892

John W Murray married - Grace Luke
John T Murray married - Jane Woodall


1893

John Murray married - Florence Dickinson / Sinclair


1897

John E Murray married - Lillian Matthews


1899

John W Murray married - Ann E Graham

1900

John Murray married - Mary E Mulhall



Perhaps you could use this info to search the 1901 Census and see if you can tie anything up / and then perhaps search the death index between 1890-1905 on any Murrays who tie up with the womens names above.


Good Luck ... bit of a pain this one isnt it because its such a popular name.

Hi Chris

I live in New Ferry ... Beaconsfield road is a two minute walk from me and I pass St Marks (or Marsksies Church as they call it round here) Church everyday ... if you ever want a photo, give me a shout.

Regards

Lancashire / SALFORD ... Where to go for records?
« on: Wednesday 04 October 06 22:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi there  ;D

Ive gone as far as I can for now with regard to my Yorkshire roots so I thought I would start on the SALFORD side of the family now.

I have most certificates but I would like to go to Manchester to possibly get other information e.g  divorce papers (1906+) newspaper articles, Electoral roles etc etc


Could someone direct me where to physically go for Salford info - would it be Manchester Central Library or somewhere in Salford?


Many thanks
