Hi, I wonder if someone could help me look up a birth of Charles Baptise Lippens. Born 4 July 1880/1
in Eekloo. On his papers in the US it states his parents as Francis Lippens & Rosalee Doohe.
The reason I am interested in him is that  my G Grandmother was born 12 Feb 1876 in Eeklo, daughter of Karel Francis Lippens & Rosalie D'hooge. It just seems a coincidence of names of parents & could be a sibling of her?.
Many thanks if you can help

Hi would someone have access to an image of the marriage of John Wittenbury (Whittenbury) to Mary Guyon in 1802 St Sepulchre?
I fully understand with copy write you cant post the image on here, I was wondering if you could compare the signature to the one that is on it?
Many thanks

Hi all, I am posting this in the common room as it a few clues I am looking for.
Walter James ALLEN was born in Watford in 1906, He married Queenie Marshall in 1934 in Barnet.
He joined the Royal Artillery & was injured in the war, sadly passed away from same in Hanwell Asylum.
I have been trying to work out which Walter he is from army records (there are a few) I was wondering if the 1939 register would have any clue on this? They were living 57 Botwell Crescent Hays Middx at the time.
We are going to write to the LMA to see what records they have for the asylum but wanted to find either his occupation or service history first.
This is from my wife cousins side of the family.
Many thanks

Hi all
I am posting this in the common room because I need help in either Aylesbury, Croydon or the Army. I think I have the wrong ancestor? how to work out?
William Perrin Born Aylesbury.
What I do know is his marriage to Sarah Ann  Burnette in Croydon. I was told that he came from Aylesbury & his mother was Elizabeth. On the marr cert it gives age of 22 (1842). I have never seen the original just a transcript & that does not mention a father?
I got what I thought was his birth cert, 5th Dec 1852 Aylesbury Workhouse. Mother Elizabeth Perrin.
Bapt 15th Dec 1842 Saint Mary Aylesbury. Mother Elizabeth.  I found what I thought was Elizabeth (1825) in 1841 census dau of William & Lydia & have been following that line.
In the 1851 found Elizabeth (1822) in Aylesbury workhouse (single) & 3 children , William Henry (1843) Ann (1847) & Thomas (1849). I thought her age was just rough guess as often happens. I also thought William Henry was just a name she added since birth.
By chance I spotted A William Perrin born Aylesbury 1843 living in Hampshire in the 1881 census.
I have never found another William born around that time in Aylesbury so always presumed I had the right one. But now I have found another William Henry Bapt 16 Jul 1843 Quainton (Aylesbury) to mother Elizabeth. I still cant find the Birth for this one? This Elizabeth was dau of Sam &Anne Perrin bapt 12th Aug 1821.
I have now found the other William in the 1851 census Aylesbury Temple Sq School William Perrin 1841 Pupil.
So it looks like there were 2 Elizabeth’s single mothers having children.  I have not managed to find either boys or mothers in the 1861 census.
I am not sure now on which is my Elizabeth & William? He had a son William Born in Croydon in 1865 & soon after he went into the army & was killed in India  before 1870 as I found his wife remarried out there to Edward Hounslow.  Unless I can find his Army records which would give a date of birth or some clue in 1861 census.
Any ideas on which to try next?  (the only other thing that came down through the family was Elizabeth Married her cousin also William Perrin, but I have never found a marriage for that)
Sorry it’s a bit long winded wanted to give as much info as poss
Regards

Hi I wonder if one of the local Worc researchers could hep me with my 5th g gran?
This one might be a bit complicated but if I put all I have found to give some clues where I can find record etc.
Her name is "Dessamore Neddings" (you would think that would be easy)  Timeline.
Born Ripple 1802?
In Dec 1825 it looks like she had a child Thomas Neddings  in Ripple (her name Decima Neddings), no mention of father.
on May 4 1830 she married Benjamin Haywood in Strensham, (not seen original so do not know her status)
In 1841 census, name is Desemore Haywood, Chapel Lane Leigh, no mention of Benjamin (not seen original so do not know if widow)
It also looks like one of her Children William was born 1828 (I know 1841 not exact) but can not find a bapt. I have found the bapt of her other children all Strensham.
In 1851 census she is Dessey Haywood, in Bransford, Worcestershire, Widow born Riply.
Her Children say born Hillcrom (? Hill Croome).
After this I can find no record of her (or her children, apart from her Daughter Elizabeth Matilda b 1830 Marr 1851 Birmingham, my 4th gr gran (I have all the bits for her)
sorry it's a bit long winded 
What I would like is a point in the right direction where I could find Bens birth & death (the only death I could find was in 1838 was Kidderminster, but thought that might be a bit faraway)
The Birth of Dessamore Neddings  (what ever type of spelling) or the death of her as Haywood.

Thanks for taking the time to read
