The Common Room / Re: Finding female relatives
« on: Yesterday at 01:32 »
Correct details can only be put on a death certificate if the informant knows them. In some cases a person has to be registered as "Unknown".

Do you know what happened to her husband?

There are baptisms for a daughter born 1941 and a son born 1943 on familysearch. The son's birth is indexed with mother's maiden name Brookes. So they were in Birmingham at least until 1943.

The Common Room / Re: William Buckley convict sent to Australia
« on: Thursday 02 May 24 09:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi there and welcome to Rootschat.

By 1872, convict transportation was no longer happening.
Can you clarify - when was William sent to Australia? What records do you have for him in England and Australia?

Hey there and welcome to Rootschat!

The person who researched for you, what sources did they provide for this information? e.g. newspaper articles or other info?

There is a previous thread about this person here:
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=441996.0

In 1895 he was charged with fraud but no sign of anything to do with Lord Berkeley

You can search here with place = a ship.
There are various deaths with location as "Levenpool", none that fit.
There are three deaths for Male Unknown in 1956-1960, none that fit.

Other sources who might help (or at least be able to tell you how this death would have been handled)
RMG:

or the maritime history archive in Canada who hold a lot of records for British registered ships:

There is a John Chambers who died in the Gateshead district in 1894, aged 40.

To obtain any of the certificates mentioned you go to the GRO:

If there is a digital version available it is the same information, just cheaper because a scan rather than a paper copy.

The Common Room / Re: lukeis surname orgins
« on: Friday 26 April 24 11:31 BST (UK)  »
It is very possible that the two sets of "Lukeis" families are not related at all, just a spelling concidence.

For example, the surname Martin is common in multiple countries across Europe, including England and France.  I wouldn't try to call it an English surname or a French surname because it has such a long history in both countries that the origins of any particular line of Martins are probably lost to time.

A more extreme example: the surname Lee is either English, or as another spelling of Li, Chinese.

There was no civil registration before 1938.
So first we need to know whether he was Catholic, Protestant or Jewish.

The National Library of Scotland has a lot of older maps.
Here is one for the area from 1922 but you can find others on the site.
