Flintshire / Mary Jones 1832-1871
« on: Wednesday 08 November 17 16:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I wonder if anyone can help.
I've hit a brick wall trying to find out my 2 x great grandmothers parents.
Mary Jones was born in 1832 Holywell Flintshire Wales, and she married Joshua Jennings 24 April 1852 in Clywd, Holywell, Flintshire, Wales.
All I know is Holywell is on the census. Jones is a too common name for those in Wales.
She died 28 MAR 1871 • Dalton in Furness, Ulverston, Lancashire.
Any information about her life before she married Joshua would be great.
What I really would love to know is her parents and any siblings she may have had.
Kind thanks

Family History Beginners Board / Military Records
« on: Tuesday 11 July 17 11:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I wonder if anybody can help me.

I have my grandfathers discharge notes, they don't really say much:
863359 - MORTON Frederick - 15/3/38 Para 3 83 (xi) (a) Re R.

Can anybody shed some light on the information provided?

From this information can I look at my grandfathers military records, where can I start when I have no service number?  Originally I thought 863359 was his service record, but I have been advised that it's a "serial number in the list of discharged personnel".

Please advise. 
Kind regards
Barbara

Hi

I'm looking for the ancestors of Benjamin Willis and Elizabeth Carr, both born 1755 in Northumberland England.  They married in Ellingham 1786.

Benjamin and Elizabeth are my 6th great grandparents.

I have 1 child listed for them Isabella who was born 3 years prior of their marriage.

Many thanks
Barbz
