Hi, so if the same document I have and states it intent was to put the daughter into an orphanage, would it have been for that reason or I did read something about the Orphan's and widow's pension.  The mother was a widow (husband died 2 years prior), and she was working and had two children to look after 

Thanks

Hi Ardeninan,

Hello - Sorry I changed my email address last year and had totally forgotten to update rootschat.  Thanks so much to the administrator Trystan who tracked me down via FB 

Yes I am over the moon - we don't know too much about the Flitter side of the family so would love to share information.

 

Hi KateW,

It's funny, my aunty rang me last week to say she has just ordered the book. So I will no doubt be reading it when she has finished.

Yes I'd like to get to know what life was like. Our relative was a bit naughty and had been caught stealing a number of times. I would like to get more of an idea of what exactly life was like I suppose that's the only way you can try to understand why they did what they did.

My aunty is going to the UK this year, so I'm hoping she would be able to squeeze in a visit to the area.

Thanks

Nedda

Hi,

Just wondering if someone can advise me a few things:

I am trying to somehow confirm the birth of a John Kilchrist, believed born Philadelphia, (noted on a census he is a british subject) about 1766.

Only reason we can think he is born in Philadelphia, and returns back to England is because his father was in the British Army.

So I know that this timeframe is before any official records for births, but is there ANY way of trying to find this information.

I was watching a show on SBS last night which was talking about the War and how in 1881 the British Army retreated. So I was wondering if there would be any records about how they would have retreated families back to England.

Thanks for any help

Nedda

Thanks Rosie,

But bugger to the gone missing part!

Someone has found a marriage for that timeframe and state it's 31/3/1666 - so would love to know where it was found it wasn't in the Pallot's Marriage index.
