The Common Room / BMD certificates from General Register Office Southport
« on: Saturday 15 July 17 20:25 BST (UK)  »
Has anyone else had a problem with the copies of BMD certificates being sent from Southport in flimsy envelopes?  It is bad enough that they fold them in half, but the envelopes have no card in them to keep the certificate from being crushed.   I have only sent for a couple, but the last one was crumpled in the post.   It seems a poor do for £9.25.   I complained and they sent a pre paid envelope for me to return it and send me another, but that might also be damaged as they refuse to use better envelopes.  Plus all the extra bother of doing all this to and fro business.  The GRO say it is to keep costs down, but I would gladly pay a bit extra to be sure I get a pristine certificate.  Has anybody else had experience of this?

Family History Beginners Board / Shipwrights in Pembroke Dock/Sheerness 1850's
« on: Wednesday 06 April 16 20:51 BST (UK)  »
My family research shows several family members living in Rosemarket, Pembrokeshire in the mid 19th century and were shipwrights working in Pembroke Docks.  Some then moved to Sheerness, Kent, to work in the dockyards there.  Does anyone know why they would have moved specifically to Sheerness, some distance away, or where I could find some information regarding this?

Pembrokeshire / Rosemarket

Hi.  I wondered if anyone knows about a property in Rosemarket village from the late 1700s where a Richard Rees lived, my greatx4 grandfather lived.  It was called Horse Park and Richard was a tenant there.  His father was a Thomas Rees who also lived there before him.  The owner of the property was a Mrs Barlow.  Any information about the place or the Rees' welcome.

Hello.   I am  looking for anyone with information about my grandfather Alfred George Harris.  He is on the 1891/1901 census living at 14 Short street, Sheerness.  He lived with his grandparents James and Agnes Harris.  James Harris moved to Sheerness from Rosemarket, Pembrokeshire.   Alfred George was born in1886 and on the 1901 census he worked as a journalist in Sheerness.  I know he moved to London in later years where he met and married my grandmother.  Any information about him and his family?
