Hello - hoping I'm posting in the correct place.  I would like some assistance please in locating some further information or some advice as to where best to look online for Harriot - I have searched for marriage/death registration with all sorts of forename/surname variants and the census' on from 1871 too but have had no luck.

Harriot Ann Homan - reg: Sep 1/4 1861 Romford, Essex

daughter of John Homan and Ellen

In the 1871 census for REG DIST: Richmond, Civil Parish Mortlake   870/80/29 is recorded as:

Hariot N Holman age 9 birthplace:  Rainham Essex

I did think she may have used her middle name Ann when she was older or possibly Hannah but have still not located her.  Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hi there

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with an idea for a photo I have taken around 1890-1900.  Its from a locket so it's quite small and head and shoulders of my grandmother's grandmother.  I would dearly love to add the 'rest of the lady' if possible - is there a way if I scan two pics that the head and shoulders could be combined to a 'dress' basically - it's really only a matter of getting the right 'dress' to match in - I have a wedding pic around the same date.  Otherwise is there a 'stock' period clothing photographic site I could match one with.  The photo would only end up being about 2" x 3". 

Help appreciated.  Thanks

Hi - hoping I'm posting this in the right place and hoping someone might be able to help me;  looking for the family of William Richard Richmond aka Richard Richmond. He was married in 1863 to Agnes McArthur in Invercargill, New Zealand about age 30.  On his death registration it said he had been resident in NZ for 30 years and was born in Cheltenham, England, both parents unknown, fathers occupation: butcher.   I do have his date of birth - 9 June 1834 but no actual birthplace.  I cannot find any baptism in the various indexes onliine for 1832 - 1836 apart from a couple of 'hopefuls' that aren't in Gloucestershire but the other family names don't seem to fit in.

I've searched the 1841 1851 and 1861 census indexes; so far have only seen  the actual  transcripts for Dursley, Gloucs (that William Richmond bn 1832 turned out to be William Daniel Richmond) - I've only found very few Richmond names that were living in Gloucestershire at the time of each census and born there.  I thought that was a bit strange actually.

 I feel that maybe Cheltenham may have been the main town near where he was from or even just the last place he was living before going to NZ - I have also tried to find siblings or parents using his own children's names: Susan Agnes, Rhoda Rebecca, Isabella Jane, Nina Elizabeth and the one son also named William Richard.  Nothing appears to come together.

I've posted this query in the NZ area of Rootschat a couple of years ago hoping that William might have been 'lost' by a Cheltenham Richmond family researcher.

Anyway would appreciate any clues; comments etc that might send me in the right direction for further searching (I've scoured the available UK newspaper on line indexes available - 100's of William Richmonds and Richard Richmonds - thought I might find a reference to him somewhere.

Thank you

Hi everyone in Essex; hoping someone could help me with some info on a possible mill/windmill that would be near/in or around Barking or East Ham in 1838.  I had deduced that my miller ancestor, William Titshall, who married Sarah Rayner in 1838 - Parish Church East Ham would be working somewhere in the vicinity.  I have finally got their marriage registration and the residence for the couple was Barking.  There is a long list of mills in Essex on Wiki for the but nothing appears to be near.  The witnesses at the time were William Dennison and William Frost Howell - can't find anything on 1841 census to suggest a mill or miller connection.

At some point by 1841; William and Sarah Titshall had made their way over to live in Isleworth, Middx where she had died in early February.  Sarah's father was Bartholemew Rayner, and she was baptised in 1816 in Billericay - Independant Meeting House.

Any help appreciated, thanks

Hi I have the following details from a death registration in New Zealand for my Gt Gt Grandfather and also from a family bible held by a family here -
