Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / CAN ANYONE PLEASE READ OR ENHANCE……?
« on: Sunday 05 November 23 10:09 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone please manage to read or enhance this signature.
The marriage is recorded as of a George Porter and Mary Ann Wicks. George signed with a cross but Mary Ann signed her  name but added another name to the register. As I have been searching for the past 14 years to find the marriage of her parents and her mothers maiden name. This could be the biggest clue yet if she took on her mothers maiden name and added it to her Christian name when signing.
Also underneath the name where the stain is appears to be further writing. I have tried to enhance it but am still unable to make out the name.
Thank you
Trish

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Gawsworth Memorial Insciptions
« on: Sunday 11 July 21 12:29 BST (UK)  »
I have the details of a burial at Gawsworth , and as I have no chance of visiting the UK in the near future, am trying to obtain a copy of the Memorial Inscription to know exactly who is buried in the plot, with all details.
Plot number is 92 (which I think should be just through the church gates towards the front of the church, as my other ancestors plot,  number 90, is there).
Plot 92 is for a James  HAMMOND buried  1836 and Mary HAMMOND buried 1800

A photo would be sufficient, but if not where could I obtain a copy please ?
Fiche number 19
Grave number 92 are the other details I have.

Thanks in advance
Trish

 I would love to know the contents of letters sent from UK to Brisbane dated 1863

He probably returned to the UK in 1863 upon the death of his Father in England.

US Lookup Requests / Death in Girardville Pennsylvania 1867
« on: Sunday 05 August 18 14:16 BST (UK)  »
 My 2x grandfather Thomas Holt an Englishman died in the Girardville USA in 1867. His was taken to Oddfellows Cemetery in Tamaqua, Shuylkhill where a plot had been bought, but the strangers with the body were sent away because they had no death Certificate. Apparantly, according to a letter received by his wife in England, who had  inquired into his death, the Doctors bill had not been paid, so no Cert.
When I contacted the Oddfellows Cemetery I was informed that the grave plot is still empty. So is there any other way I can locate where he was buried or how he died ? What would they have done with a body, buried it illegally?
Any help appreciated.
