Occupation Interests / Teacher Registration, England, Lookup
« on: Thursday 23 November 06 09:12 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for the Teacher registration details of George Chapman.  In 1901 he was an assistant school master in Hove, Sussex and by 1939 he was a retired school master.  He also may or may not have attended Cambridge as a student both as an undergraduate and for a MA.

Any possible matches would be a help

Thanks in advance

World War One / Help with interpreting World War One Medal Record Card
« on: Saturday 03 June 06 11:56 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for someone to help me interpret the following World War One Medal Record Card from the National Achieves.

From what I understand the details are as follows:-

Name: Hobbs, James Henry
Corps: 2nd Battalion of South African Infantry, 6th Dragoon Guards
Rank: Private
Regiment No: 4264 387215 (What do the two sets of number refer to?)

What I don’t understand is the meaning of the remarks
Medals forfeited
Star + Medals approved (unreadable)
Claims to be forwarded to (unreadable)
Should application be received

Does anyone know what these comments mean or why medals would be forfeited?

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / 1851 Census lookup
« on: Wednesday 15 February 06 10:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I am looking for Emma Crabtree in the 1851 census she was born in Yorkshire but her sister was born in Manchester, Lancashire in 1848 so I think they are probably in Lancashire.

Emma Crabtree b. abt 1844. Siblings are Richard b. 1846 Yorkshire, Sarah Ann b. 1848 Manchester, John b. 1850 Manchester. Fathers name is quite strange Fowles Crabtree unsure of his birth possibly 1811.  Mother is Jane born about 1827 Staffordshire.

I went to Manchester Central Library a few years back and looked at every Crabtree I could find but there were some damaged folios and I think that they probably appear on there.  I just wanted to check, of course they may be in a different part of the country.

Thanks for your time.

Regards

Chris

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Cambridge University Alumni Look-up
« on: Tuesday 14 February 06 21:58 GMT (UK)  »
I hope someone here can help with a slightly unusual look up.

I am looking for a relative of mine who I am told went to the University of Cambridge but I know very little of the details, ie I am not sure of the dates or even which college.  Here is what I know about him

Name: George Chapman
Date of Birth: 31 October 1867   
Place of Birth: Burwell, Cambridgeshire

1901 Census says he is an assistant school master in Hove, Sussex

I hope this is enough information to help you find him in the Cambridge University records.

Thanks in advance
