Europe / Portuguese Record - Can anybody translate this for me?
« on: Monday 08 April 24 16:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

As the subject suggests my search has taken me to Portugal but I don't speak Portuguese.

I am searching for Francisco Perez (different variants of this surname have been used)  born in Tavira, Portugal c1816. I have found the baptism records online for the right time period and have found the attached record for a Francisco but my lack of Portuguese along with the quality of the document means I am struggling to decipher this and confirm whether or not this is the record I am looking for!

If anyone is able to translate this I would really appreciate it.

Many Thanks  :)

Norfolk / Help untangling my Ruddocks please
« on: Sunday 07 April 24 22:32 BST (UK)  »
Evening All,

I have revisiting my family tree and the same headache that got the better of me last time is frustrating me all over again.

I have a Thomas Ruddock born in Dickleburgh/Langmere c1766

There is a marriage for Thomas Ruddock to Mary Allen in 1791 in Dickleburgh. Mary Allen is noted as being from Syleham/Sileham in Suffolk a couple of miles away.

I have trawled the baptism records for Dickleburgh and they show the following:

Children of Thomas Ruddock and Mary Allen
Mary Ruddock b1795

Children of Thomas Ruddock and Mary Ellis
Elizabeth Ruddock b June 1799
Maria Ruddock B June 1799 (same day as her sister)
Thomas Ruddock 1802.

Children of Thomas Ruddock and his wife Mary (maiden name not specified)
Mary Ruddock b oct 1796
Sarah Ruddock b 1806
Jemima Ruddock b1808

I can not find a marriage for Thomas Ruddock to Mary Ellis.

I can not find a death record for Mary Allen to allow for Mary Ellis to be a second marriage.

I am trying to determine if
a) There are two Thomas Ruddocks in Dickleburgh who are each married to a Mary which would be a huge frustrating coincidence.
b) There is some documentation to prove that Thomas had two wives both called Mary (but without finding a death record for the first wife or marriage for the second, this is proving elusive).
c) There is some indication that Mary Ellis and Mary Allen are actually the same person.

Can anyone held me untangle this situation please? Thanks!

Europe / Places in Portugal???
« on: Monday 15 October 18 09:37 BST (UK)  »
Morning All,

I have a copy of a baptism record in 1838 in Gibraltar. It states the father Francisco Perez was born in Tavira and the mother Ignacia De La Rosa what looks like Ulloa ? I am assuming (but could be completely wrong) that they mean Tavira in Portugal. What I am struggling with is where the mother was from. Am is reading the spelling wrong, is there any similar places?

I suppose a secondary question is if Francisco Perez was born in Tavira C1816 how do I trace his birth to find his parents?

Many Thanks,

S :)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Can anyone read this postcard?
« on: Sunday 14 October 18 16:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

Can anyone read this postcard. It is pretty faded. I can make out bits and pieces but would love to see it all. It is a postcard from my great grandmother to my great grandfather prior to their marriage. She was on her way to Canada.

Many Thanks,

World War One / Tracing American Military in UK?
« on: Sunday 07 October 18 20:30 BST (UK)  »
Evening all,

My Great Grandma moved to America in 1920 to Marry an America Edward David Cassell. Family legend suggests they met while he was in the UK with the America Forces during WW1. My great grandma grew up in Norfolk so I am hoping for a Norfolk connection.

I have managed to find Edward Cassell's Veteran Compensation card which gives his Army Military Number as 713,680. He was part of the 377th Squadron. The record states that he served overseas March to December 1918. How would I find out where "overseas" he was based?

Many Thanks,

S  :)

Midlothian / Seeking the Birth/Baptism of Joseph Wilson
« on: Tuesday 26 December 17 20:19 GMT (UK)  »
Merry Christmas Everyone  :)

Can anyone trace the birth of Joseph Wilson? It is driving me a little crazy!

This is what I do know...

Joseph Wilson was in the Army. In his Military records it states he was born in Edinburgh. When asked name of parish it still states Edinburgh. According to sign up and discharge ages he was born in 1832 (likely August)


He married in Gibraltar and his first child was baptised in the Catholic Church there. This record stated not only the childs parents but also the grand parents. So I know Joseph's Parents were John Wilson and Margaret Grieves.

There is a John Delver Wilson and Margaret Grieves who got married in Edinburgh in 1828 so this seems most likely to be Joseph's parents but I can't find Joseph's Birth/Baptism  ???

Does anyone have better luck./more skill?  :)

Many Thanks,

 :)

Evening All,

I know that Thomas Bailey married Ann Jones 18th August 1856 Aston Juxa, Birmingham.  Can anybody provide me with the details?

I am particularly keen to find out Ann's Father's name as there are many different opinions on who her family was.

Many Thanks,

Europe / Gibraltar Census 1834 - tracing Francis PEREZ and Ignacia DE LA ROSA
« on: Friday 01 December 17 14:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

I have recently stumbled across the brilliant Gibraltar National Archives Website which has the details of their census returns. http://www.nationalarchives.gi/gna/Inhabitants.aspx

I don't know if I am using it incorrectly or my ancestors as missing on the 1834 census ??? ??? ???
Was everyone recorded or were their some form of criteria?

I am trying to trace Francis/Francisco Perez who was married to Ignacia/Ygnacia De La Rosa/ De Rosa.  They are in Gibraltar in 1834 as there child Juan Antonio Perez was born and christened there this year.

Juan Antonio Perez
Gibraltar Births and Baptisms
Name   Juan Antonio Perez
Gender   Male
Christening Date   14 Sep 1834
Christening Place   St. Mary The Crowned, Gibraltar, Gibraltar
Birth Date   30 Aug 1834
Birthplace   Cathedral of St. Mary the Crowned, Gibraltar
Race   White
Father's Name   Francisco Perez
Mother's Name   Ygnacia Rosa

The first reference I can find is on the 1868 census where Ignacia De La Rosa is listed as a widow living with her son Francisco Perez. 

More generally is there anywhere that the birth, marriage and death records for Gib are published online?

Many Thanks,

 :)
