The Common Room / Transcribing recent records
« on: Wednesday 14 November 12 14:52 GMT (UK)  »
I do a bit of transcribing for a well known website.  The last batch I downloaded was entitled  'UK Derbyshire Church of England Parish Records 1538-1910'.  When it appeared it was marriage register entries for 1973-4.  Now I got married in 1973 but would not be happy if all the details were available to all.  I emailed the site and they said "the names will not be published until the privacy laws of Great Britain are met".  I would be interested to hear others' views on the subject and what is the legal situation now?

Hertfordshire / Mary Ann Williams, South Mimms
« on: Tuesday 21 February 12 19:43 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help me get back further with the Williams family?

Mary Ann Williams marries at 'legal age' giving her father's name as William, but no mother listed.  The census entries give her birth as 1818 in South Mimms.

Many thanks

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Date and ages please

Could anyone date this for me please?
Edith Poynter, in the middle was born 1865 in Buckingham.  Do you think she is wearing a mourning dress? It looks very black to me.
Do you think the ladies on either side are related to each other?  There seems a similarity about them to me, but I don't think they are sisters of Edith.

Sorry, I don't have a scan of the reverse

Many thanks

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Marriage Nether Whitacre
« on: Tuesday 29 March 11 22:39 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find the marriage details of James BAYLISS and Elizabeth.  Their children were born in Nether Whitacre, starting in 1815.  James was probably born in Wombourne, Staffordshire in 1792.

Many thanks

Scotland / Search for census entry using GROS data
« on: Saturday 12 March 11 21:18 GMT (UK)  »
I'm searching for someone on Scotland'sPeople where I already have the transcription from A******y, but with no luck.  I've tried entering the GROS numbers but that doesn't work.  Its the 1881 Census and the Registration number is 168/2, ED14, Household schedule 75, Line 12.  Does anyone know the exact arrangement of numbers needed?  My relative is Mary Gordon, aged 22, living in Old Machar, Aberdeen City.

I would be grateful for any assistance.

Australia / Did Alice Higham THOMAS go to Australia?
« on: Sunday 05 September 10 18:55 BST (UK)  »
Alice Higham THOMAS was born in Chelsea, London in 1858 but she is not to be found after the 1871 census.  I cannot find a marriage for her either.  Family rumor is that she went to Australia.  Can anyone find her please?  I suspect its a bit of a long shot.

Many thanks

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Births in Claydon?
« on: Saturday 04 September 10 20:14 BST (UK)  »
According to the Oxfordshire Marriage Transcripts by J S W Gibson on the IGI Allis/Alice Checkley married John Hyam/Higham Claydon 1794.  So now I am wondering whether either of them were born in the parish.  If anybody has the records for Claydon, I would be very grateful for a look up :)
