England / Name Changes
« on: Sunday 08 August 10 15:38 BST (UK)  »
Hi.  Does anyone know if there is a way of finding out about someone changing their name.  I have a couple of conflicting names on my family tree from around 1873-1897 and the only thing that could explain it is a name change, although we haven't worked out why a change would have happened in the first place.  Any suggestions would be welcome!

England / Henry Oliver Stowell
« on: Friday 30 July 10 16:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I am researching a member of my family who was born in around 1873 in Bolton.  In the 1901 census he is entered as living in Poulton cum Seacombe with his wife Elizabeth and 5 children.  I am struggling to find an actual record of his birth and therefore parents, and also when and where he died.  Can anyone give any advice?  I have tried FreeBMD and have also run searches on Ancestry.co.uk but nothing positive has turned up.

Ireland / Struggling to find a family member in Ireland- completed
« on: Friday 30 July 10 16:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi, in researching my family tree I have reached a wall with one particular member.  I have a John Webster who is on the 1891 census for Northowram in Yorkshire with his birthplace entered as Ireland in 1893.  Wife is Elizabeth and the son of his I am linked with is William who is my great grandfather born in 1891.  I can't find any records of his birth in Ireland or his parentage and to be honest I'm not sure where to start.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
