Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Burial Lookup - Bristol - 1994
« on: Monday 17 August 15 20:45 BST (UK)  »
HI Everyone,

I haven't done any family history research in 6 years or so, but had a recent request from my father in law for some information.  I'm not even sure if this info is available or where to look.  Any guidance would be really helpful.

We would love to find the burial place for:
Michael John Maddaford, born 11th Jan 1963, Died October 1994 in Bristol. 
May have been a catholic burial.

Many Thanks  ;)

Nottinghamshire / Plaque in St Marys Church, Nottingham?
« on: Wednesday 11 October 06 10:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone!

My GGGG Grandad, John WORSDALE was a famous astrologer in his day and my mum recently received a letter from her cousin stating that in the 1940's when he was stationed in Nottingham, he went to a Church (he thinks it was St Marys, High Pavement, The Lace Market, Notts) and there was a brass commemorative plaque for a WORSDALE, believed to be a John.  He was told by an interested churchman that WORSDALE had been an esteemed Astrologer in his time and showed him some examples of his work.

Now, here is where I need some help.  I live in Bristol and lack of funds means I am unable to visit Nottingham to have a look for this plaque myself, we also don't have any family or friends in the area we can call on to help.   
Does anyone visit this church?  can they recall seeing such a plaque?  It may not even exist anymore but it would mean so much to me and my family if it could be found it and what it says.

Or does anyone know of another way I can try and trace it?  Would it be worth writing to someone at the church and hoping they can help?

Any help greatly appreciated

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / NBI Lookup - WORSDALE
« on: Tuesday 29 August 06 12:07 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

If anyone has The National Burial Index 2 would they be able to have a look for any Worsdale's buried in Donington?   I would love to know if any other Worsdale's are buried there, apart from the one I know already (Mary buried 1851).  Had a look on the IGI but didn't tell me anything new.

Hope someone can help

Armed Forces / Identify Uniform and year?
« on: Monday 08 May 06 14:17 BST (UK)  »
Hello All,

Whilst searching through many old photographs at the weekend, we found this photo and we aren't too sure who it is. Anyway,  to give us some clues can anyone identify the uniform or the era it may have been taken?  any info would help greatly.  Sorry it isn't very good quality, it is a photo of a photo and we have no idea who has the original.

Don't know if this would help but my great grandfather was in the 19th Hussars, could this be him? by 1901 he was a gardener though.

Thanks in advance
Kindest regards

Kent / Lenham Almshouse - Help?
« on: Friday 03 March 06 15:49 GMT (UK)  »
HI All,

My GGGG Grandfather John Cuckow lived in an Almshouse in Lenham for about 30 years before he died at the grand old age of 102 in 1894.  From what i can see from the census it was near The Square/Faversham Road.  Was this the Honywood/Douglas Almshouses?

What I would really love to know is are the buildings still there today?  I would really love a photo of the houses as John is one of the few people I have a photo of and feel a bit closer to him (is this strange??) and would love to see where he spent his last few years.

Also, would the Almshouses have kept any records??

Any help would be much appreciated

Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Baptism 1838/1839 Shepshed
« on: Tuesday 21 February 06 14:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have access to any parish records or tell me where can i get the Baptism records for Shepshed after in 1838/1839.

I have a birth cert for my GG Granny and there is no father listed,  :(  so i wondered whether any baptism records may list the father?

The details are I have are:

Charlotte Grimley born 17 Nov 1838 Shepshed, mother Ann Grimley.

By the 1841 Census Ann and daughter Charlotte are living in Ilkeston, Derbyshire so she may have been baptised there?

If anyone has access to any parish records etc i would be very grateful for a lookup.

Cheers!

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Burial Lookup Donington 1851
« on: Monday 13 February 06 16:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

If anyone has the National Burial Index could they look up the following person for me...

Mary Worsdale born about 1778 living in Donington at time of 1851 census and died in the Jun quarter of 1851.  So i would assume she was buried in Donington though it could have been in lincoln??

would really love to know where she was buried so can see if she was buried with her husband who died before her.

Thank you
Lena x
