Renfrewshire / Kilmacolm??? John Scott about 1806
« on: Thursday 16 November 17 17:59 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching John Scott who enlisted in the Scots Fusillier Guards in Glasgow in 1825 aged 19. All other records are from London where he lived. It says he was a tinsmith by trade and was born in the parish of Kilmacolm or near the town of, in the county of Renfrew. I cannot find a definite birth for him. I have looked on Scotlands People. Are there records of apprenticeships ? Or can someone make a suggestion where to search?
Thank you

Family History Beginners Board / death at sea
« on: Friday 13 January 17 15:00 GMT (UK)  »
Charles Alfred Rudge supposed drowned 1875,this is also on the grave stone. His wife Fanny Jane is also written on the stone but it is not clear if she also drowned at this time. There is only the date 1875 .I find no other death, or remarriage for her. On the UK death at sea thereare also 6 other people missing on the ship Fair Rover on this day.
Would there be any newspaper reports on this event perhaps.?
Thanks for any help

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / north nibley records
« on: Friday 08 November 13 09:55 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
 Quite a while back there was a very useful, free site for North Nibley Parish records. This site seemed to have disappeared off the Net some time ago. Time and time again I have wished to use these records and with much frustration have searched for them without luck.
They will probably be in a site that one has to pay for. Could anyone give me a clue or hint where to look,
Thank you,
Madhu

Somerset Completed Lookup Requests / Arabella Gane completed
« on: Saturday 06 July 13 21:27 BST (UK)  »
Arabella Mary Gane married William Lewis in Saltford 1820.
The only other record for Arabella Gane I come up with is 1818 Baptism. Can it be that she was baptised as an adult? Or is there an earlier birth record for her?
I would be very grateful for any help as I live overseas .Thank you.

Berkshire Lookup Requests / marriage William Morse 1747 Thatcham
« on: Thursday 04 July 13 21:59 BST (UK)  »
Could someone kindly find the  name of the spouse of William Morse married in 1747 in Thatcham?
Unfortunately I dont know the parishes in Thatcham.
His was probably from Gloucestershire but married out of county. The spouses first name might have been Elizabeth.
I appreciate any lookup as I live overseas. Thank you,

Gloucestershire / R J Lewis
« on: Friday 12 October 12 19:31 BST (UK)  »
I ordered a death certificate for Cornelius Augustus LEWIS (born 1870 Gloucester) age 61 died 4.7.1932 in Worcester. On the cert. it is written   In attendance R J Lewis nephew 6 Bloomfield Rd. Gloucester. Is there a way to find out who this nephew was? Cornelius had 2 brother William Henry who I have in detail and there is no son R J Lewis.   The 2nd John Lewis born 1867 Gloucester I have not been able to trace after about 1881, so I wonder if this is his son. Is there a way to look in a directory to find this address and the occupants or any other suggestion? Thank you
