Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Look up request - Joseph Roscoe

Hi Milster 96,

I am also interested in Joseph Roscoe and Roscoe's Farm and I too would love to see the photos if possible. Unfortunately I am even further away than Jane, being in Orkney. My email address is (*) Moderator Comment: e-mail removed in accordance with RootsChat policy,

Thanks for that tip. I hadn't realised I could do that.

Good morning Nanny Jan,

Thank you for your reply and I will try that. It doesn't matter if there is a wait, I am in no rush.

Kind regards and stay safe.

Armed Forces / How to search for records with minimum information
« on: Monday 07 June 21 21:32 BST (UK)  »
I have been told that my paternal grandfather, Arthur Sidney Platt, served in the Army presumably during the second world war. When he was alive he never mentioned it and I only found out after his death that he had served with REME.
Given that this is all I know is there any way I can trace his service history?
Any help gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance,
Chris

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Seeking Hanson JAGGER

Hi Rosie 99,
Many thanks for that reply, it's spot on. I would never have thought of looking for Raggen. I had tried Jagger/Jaggar/Jaggars to no avail.
I have checked the original record and it is clearly a transcription error (I have submitted a correction).
As an added bonus there was another family member next door.
Kind regards and stay safe,
E M

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Seeking Hanson JAGGER
« on: Thursday 13 May 21 17:17 BST (UK)  »
Hanson Jagger was born 2/8/1853, son of Joseph and Ann Jagger of Fixby, Yorkshire. He was baptised at Rastrick St. Matthew on 21/8/1853. He married Mary Anderson on 1/11/1875 at Lightcliffe, Yorks and I have found a burial at Lightcliffe on 17/2/1917, though I haven't yet confirmed this is him.
I have found him on 1871 census with his parents at Birkhouse, Hartshead cum Clifton (RG10/4387, folio 18, page 29) and from 1881 to 1911 with his wife and family at various addresses in the Halifax area. However, I have been unable to find him (or his parents) on the 1861 census despite several searches on Find My Past.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I may find him.
Any help forthcoming will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards and stay safe,
Exiled Mancunian.

Thanks Eyesee, that is most helpful. I have just done a trial run and it worked.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks also to Carol 80 but I don't do Facebook so will be unable to take advantage of your tip.
Kind regards and stay safe.
