The Common Room / Sharing Family History
« on: Friday 09 February 18 10:19 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to think of the best way to display my family history to share with other members of my family in an easy to read format something like a blog maybe.
A few questions to those that have done this.
Can I show census and birth indexes  records on a blog or are they copyrighted?
Is a blog the best way to go or are there better methods out there on the net.
Most family members won't want to read through sources so want the most lay man method available.
Any help or ideas welcome thanks

The Common Room / 1911 Census Four servants living in 16 Room house ? Help
« on: Thursday 25 January 18 11:43 GMT (UK)  »
Amy Humphrey a kitchen maid is living at 125 Sloane street London with three other Domestic Servants in a 16 room house.
I've looked through the other pages for this census and there is no mention of other residents at 125 Sloane Street. Surely they didn't have a huge house to themselves ?
Anyone help see if I'm missing something here.

The Common Room / Great Grandfather died in WW1 im starting to think not
« on: Thursday 07 December 17 14:02 GMT (UK)  »
Long Post so bear with me please.
My Father and Grandfather always told me as a small lad that my Great Grandfather William Turner died in 1915 WW1 Ypres. After six years of searching and hiring a professional genealogist just recently I am still no further in proving this. All military records that are available have been searched online and in records office. All war memorials within a very large radius of his and his families last know addresses have been looked at. There is absolutely nothing on this man serving in the armed forces during that period. There is no record of a pension for his wife.
There are a number of discrepancies that make me wonder if he ever served at all and that indeed the story was made up to cover up some other true story that the family may have been ashamed of.
One is the fact that he was 52 in 1915 and in a reserved occupation as a miner. I have seen other records of men in their 40's who were refused entry due to age at that time. So I doubt a 52 year old would have been snapped up at the very beginning of the war.
After 1901 Census he disappears never to be seen again. On the 1911 Census his wife and children are on there but the words Widow and Head have been filled in by the enumerator this can be proved by checking the handwriting at the bottom of census that the enumerator filled in. Whereas, the rest of the form was filled in by his wife. She also states that she has been married 18 Years which is the exact time period to the date 1911 to when they married in Dec 1892 so unless he died like the week before the census this is very suspect. He could of course have been down the mines at the time the census was taking. Thus missing him off.
I'm asking if anyone can find this man before I give up on him completely. There are some amazing people on here that may just be able to do this.
He is as follows:

William Turner (b) 1864 Seaham/Seaton Colliery, Co Durham.
Married to Martha Isabella Cowie (b) 1870 Sunderland, Co Durham

His father was John Morland Turner (b) 1844 married to Mary Jane Fretker (b) 1847

1901 Census that he appears on
Piece:4667
Folio:30
Page Number:52
Household schedule number:310

The 1911 Census that he is missing from

Registration district:Gateshead
Registration District Number:557
Sub-registration district:Winlaton
ED, institution, or vessel:21
Piece:30528

Any more info just ask if interested in helping
Thanks for reading
