World War One / British Red Cross certificate numbers
« on: Sunday 28 June 15 02:44 BST (UK)  »
I gather that the BRC certificate numbers were issued sequentially as volunteers 'signed up'.  Is there a guide to when these were issued?  If not, would members who have corroborating evidence be able to help me narrow down the date of issue for certificate number 8383 please?   I believe she was a nursing sister.
TIA  :)

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Thomas BROOM St Peter's Old Brampton
« on: Wednesday 06 May 15 11:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi from down under.   
My convict ancestor is Thomas BROOM. When arrested his Chester Gaol Register recorded him as being 22 years & born in 'Brampton M..... near Chesterfield,  Derbys'.  A local Derbyshire family historian suggests the most likely location is Brampton Moor. 

His inferred year of birth from a variety of convict records & death certificate is 1808-1810.  Death cert states parents were Abraham & Sarah BROOM, maiden name unknown.  There is one possible baptism in Great Longstone 6 Apr 1806, but I'd appreciate it if someone with Old Brampton CDs could check for other possibilities. 

He was a widower,  so I'm also looking for marriage and death of an unknown Mrs Broom
prior to 1831.

Thanks in anticipation :)
