Clackmannanshire / Where in Scotland was Great Grandfather born
« on: Friday 16 February 24 16:21 GMT (UK)  »
On my grandmothers birth certificate her father is named as James Walker.
 The 1891 census (RG12/2437 Aston Manor district 62) states born Scotland.
I know this is him because he was living as a lodger with Elizabeth Lyndon and her family. Their first child was born in 1891. I can find no marriage certificate.

On the 1901 census (RG13/2847 All Saints district 11) he states born Scotland Edinburgh.
On the 1911 census (Ladywood 384/19/18007) he states born Scotland NB
On the 1921 census (384/1/37) he states born Scotland Clackmannanshire

He died in 1928.

Can anyone please suggest where I should start researching for his birth as there are different locations given on the census's.

« on: Friday 21 July 23 19:37 BST (UK)  »
In my fathers Royal Navy service records payment and victualling section it states he served on SS Atlantic between 23 January 1945 -21 June 1945.  (From 22 June 1945 he was D.E.M.S New York).  Can anyone direct me to where I can find information and movement cards of SS Atlantic between the dates Dad served on her.  Research comes up with the Atlantic that sank in 1870. 
Thank you

Warwickshire / Retail Brewer
« on: Sunday 06 June 21 18:28 BST (UK)  »
On the 1851 census my ancestor aged 21 describes himself as a retail brewer.  He lived at 66 Dartmouth Street, Aston.  Does anyone know if this means he sold beer from his home ?
Thank you

Nottinghamshire / Lord Middleton and the Creswells
« on: Friday 07 May 21 09:08 BST (UK)  »
This is a long shot but I am hoping someone may be able to shed light on my query.
I have a photo copy of a piece of paper with notes about my family tree. The note was written by a second cousin 2 x removed (1899-1996). I believe the notes were written around 1920.  Some of the writing is ineligible. What I have been able to read is "Creswell something attached to Creswells family rightly Lord Middleton"   Melicent Creswell (1810-1847) was her great grandmothers maiden name.
Google searches for Middleton/Creswell have proved negative and also an extensive FindMyPast newspaper search negative. 
Thank you

Nottinghamshire / Death registered but not birth
« on: Tuesday 26 January 21 16:29 GMT (UK)  »
I have a copy of the burial register for Nottingham General Cemetery.  Thomas Cresswell aged four months buried 19 July 1846, son of Robert and Ann Cresswell, father a dyer, address Canaan Street.
Died 12 July 1846.

Mothers maiden name is Huff.  I have searched the GRO indexes and cannot find a birth entry.  I have searched Ancestry and FindMyPast and cannot find a baptism.

Does anyone know if its possible that the birth was not registered ?

Thank you

Nottinghamshire / Removal Order Nottingham St Mary
« on: Saturday 01 August 20 17:49 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone please help me with the following regarding my third great grandfather Thomas May and his family regarding a removal order on 17 January 1834 from St Marys Nottingham to Whiston in Yorkshire. The order was contested by the Whiston overseers and the following was printed in the Nottingham Journal on 11 April 1834 :
"This was an appeal against the order of removal of Thomas May from the parish of St Mary, in this town to the parish of Whiston in the county of York-Mr Oakley appeared for the appellants and Mr Hurst for the respondents- The circumstances were briefly stated by Mr Hurst; by which it appeared it was admitted by the appellants that the pauper had been apprenticed and served forty days at Whiston. The only question submitted for the consideration of the Court was, whether the indenture was a valid one. Mr Oakley contended it was not, as notice of the intended binding had not been approved agreeably to the Act of the 56th of George III. The court after hearing Mr Hurst confirmed the order subject to a case to be heard in the Court of Kings Bench"

I don't understand what this means
 "the intended binding had not been proved agreeably to the Act of the 56th George III"
and was there to be another hearing

Any help will be much appreciated
Sandra
