The Common Room / Billed by English GRO - But no Confirmation Received
« on: Monday 09 September 24 21:57 BST (UK)  »
On August 31st I ordered two certificates from the GRO for a total of 25 pounds.
Billed to credit card - got confirmation email from WorldPay credit card processor and amount appears on my credit card statement.
However, I never received a confirmation email from the GRO - this contains the "COL number"
Without a COL number I can't check the order online - more importantly, I can't even use the online problem reporting system.
Seems like a Catch 22.

Wexford / What Happened to William Crean, 1865 to After 1913?
« on: Monday 27 May 24 08:15 BST (UK)  »
William Crean was born in 1865, in Main St. Wexford, the third of the 10 children of Aidan Peter Crean and his wife Mary Redmond.

His father was a master baker, with a bakery in Main St. Unfortunately, the bakery went bankrupt and was auctioned in December 1881.

Aidan Peter, meanwhile, emigrated to the US, traveling to New York cabin class from Dublin in November 1881, without his family, and proceeded to Chicago. The surviving children and his wife appear to have joined him in Chicago at indeterminate dates over the next few years.

Aidan Peter died in Chicago in 1920, while his wife Mary passed away in 1913
When Mary died in 1913, an obituary notice was printed in a Chicago paper listing the surviving Children  - William was one of them.

My issue is that I have found no trace at all of William after his birth registration and baptism in 1865! I know the fate of all his siblings to 1913 - but not his.

He may have gone to the US with the rest of the family, or he was old enough to have remained in Ireland.

Wexford / No Baptism For Moses?
« on: Friday 17 May 24 01:08 BST (UK)  »
There is a civil registration for the birth of Moses Doyle in Templeudigan (OS spelling Templeludigan)
in April, 1867.

Curiously, I can't find a corresponding baptism. The parish registers for Rathnure (AKA Templeudigan) exist.
I searched under Christian names Moses, Aidan/Aiden, and Mogue (all equivalent), and also the Latin versions, Aidanus and Edanus. I also checked for a surname other than Doyle, in case a father was named.

No sign! Strange - the reverse of the usual case of a missing civil registration.

The Common Room / British Army Family Births Abroad
« on: Wednesday 08 May 24 02:01 BST (UK)  »
These were recorded in an appendix to the annual GRO indexes, weren't they?

Are overseas army/navy births  included in the online GRO system? - I don't see some births that I believe should be there....

Glamorganshire / When Did Sarah (Ann) Walsh/Griffiths Die?
« on: Thursday 02 May 24 08:40 BST (UK)  »
Sarah Walsh was baptized in the Kilrane (Tagoat) area of Co. Wexford on 21-Feb-1858.
At some point, she acquired a second Christian name, to become Sarah Ann.
She married Isaac John Griffiths in Pontypool, Wales, in 1890.
Isaac went on to win the DCM in the Boer War.

Sarah and Isaac had six children together, from 1892 to 1903, in locations as varied as Aldershot, London, Egypt, and Wales.

in 1911 they were living in Pontypridd.

Isaac died 3 July, 1933, in Landaff, and was buried there.

I believe Sarah died later in the 1930s, but there are many deaths with the name Sarah Griffiths in the area. Is there any way to determine which one is the correct death, short of ordering all the death registrations, which is simply too expensive?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Possible to Attach DNA result to Multiple Trees on Anc*stry?
« on: Sunday 07 April 24 05:14 BST (UK)  »
I control DNA tests for several persons who appear in more than one family tree on Anc*stry. 
Right now, the DNA tests are only attached to their profiles in one tree. So today, I thought I would add the DNA links to other trees also.
When I did so, it seemed to delete the DNA links from the first tree. So, can DNA results/tests only be linked to single trees?
