I am searching for the parents of John Newill born c. 1771  'out of the county' in the 1841 census.
In his Marriage Bond to Elizabeth Hekin (Ekin) 1798 he is described as a tailor and married at Guilsfield. He does not appear on the Shropshire records. Were there any boundary changes which could place him in Radnorshire or elsewhere ?

Hello , There appears to be a Guilsfield here, which may bare some relevence

Where would I go to look at the census that were held in Germany, or Prussia, Silesia or Pommerania? About 1850 to 1950??
Thank you good people

Lol China !!! 
There had to be something going for her because, bless her, she certainly was not an oil painting !!!!

So do we think this was late 1890's ??  Anyone like to try and hazard a guess on her age ?

Hello ALL  Just Passing by, to put my pennyworth in.
I tend to think that it is around 1880-5's. But what took my eye is her wedding ring on her right hand. The majority of people in the UK have it on the third finger left hand.
 My wife was German and we married in Germany I still wear mine on my right hand as many others do on the Continent. Not knowing exactly with what type of camera used, it could be from a reversed negative. But I tend to think she "bless her" was either married to a foreigner, or was of Conental birth.

That the addres is in Burnley could only mean in this case that is was a copy of an earlier one taken abroad.

Just a thought, might help a little...difficult though
Good Luck

Hi

The Legitimacy Act of 1926 made it possible for children born outside wedlock to be legitimised by the subsequent marriage of their parents, provided at the time the child was conceived, its parents were not married to other partners.    So it would appear that anyone born earlier than 1926 would remain illegitimate despite the parents' subsequent marriage.

Hello all and Greensleevs.
I have read with great interest all the posts. However my first wifes mother had an illigitimate child in 1929. The fathers name was blank and and her occupation was"field worker" in a rural area.  The father was unknown.
This was brought to light when I was doing my family tree some 50 years years later.
On receiving the Certificate, the GRO informed me that there existed a later Certificate, issued under the Legitimecy Act of "1924"

She married in 1930 to a completely different man and he (my father in-law to be) the child was given his name. There was a handwritten note re the ACT. on the later Certificate.

It has been a very interesting experience in this rural area gettting the rest of the Certs for her family, and several other relatives had only the mothers surname.  In the late 1940's there was a prisoner of war camp in this rural area, and some of the later children were of German & Italian origin..naturally they... were allowed to also be Field Workers. on the large
acrerage, owned by a former Lord and now an Heritage Site.

I don't think it's a printer problem - if you look closely at the scanned picture, the lines are already on it.   I would agree that it's either a lamp or sensor problem, but it doesn't really matter, because it would cost more to repair than a new one.

Here's a blow-up of the scanned image - you can see the lines.....

Hi! Nick, I now agree with you after my previous post. I see now  from what the poster says, that the lines are on the originals, and printing them out reproduces them
