Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Translate medical terminology on report from convict ship
« on: Friday 16 October 20 12:18 BST (UK)  »
Hello. I am hoping some one maybe able to help me with the medical treatment given to my GT Gt Gt Grandfathers.  He was transported as a convict to Australia. It is from the ships records. He presented with pain in his extremities and stiff joints. From the report it seems as if he may have had scurvy.
Thanking you

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Translation of marriage bonds written in Latin
« on: Friday 06 October 17 13:02 BST (UK)  »
 I have the marriage bonds for Thomas Hall and Elizabeth Minkley for the 2nd July 1711. Half of the Bond is written in Latin and I was hoping someone would be able to translate this for me please.  I have had a poor attempt using google translate but because I am not familiar with the Latin language I have been unable to work out the spelling of the words. Thanking you in anticipation.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Decipher inscription in Dictionary of Thomas Franklin
« on: Saturday 24 September 11 12:57 BST (UK)  »
I am hoping some clever person will be able to help me with the abbreviations that were written in a dictionary belonging to my Gt Gt Grandfather. I would be intersted in finding out what the letters are and what they mean.  T Montague Franklin was a Journalist and was also involved with the Salvation Army. There are a couple of dates he has written in the dictionary which leads me to believe he had it since 1880.  This man has left us many mysteries about his life and has not made it easy for us to trace his life. He was a loyal Britisher who came out to Australia around 1850's.  Stories that he told and past down are that he was in the Army in England, which we have not found any evidence of. He gave talks in the Mechanics Hall in Minyip Victoria on a passion of his "The Boar War". Now he has left us another puzzle in the dictionary to add to the many others.  Thanks Sue
