Technical Help / New notebook keep's disconnecting from Internet....any help please
« on: Monday 27 September 10 13:05 BST (UK)  »

I purchased a new notebook a couple of months ago and everything worked perfectly until about a week ago when I lost my connection, my husband and daughters use wireless laptops and all were still connected, since then my notebook disconnects at random without any pattern and will not re connect sometimes for hours at a time, I can't figure out what is going on.

Anyone have any ideas please

« on: Wednesday 19 August 09 20:04 BST (UK)  »
I have just left Ancestry and moved to Find my past, and today I received a message from someone through Ancestry concerning a branch of my tree, unfortunately I cannot reply. Would some kind person who is a member of Ancestry be able to send a reply for me???


  Many thanks for any help

The Common Room / Same Man???
« on: Wednesday 25 June 08 19:39 BST (UK)  »
The first photo I have is of my husbands great grandparents, the second photo was taken at their daughters wedding some time later, the man is on the left next to his wife, he looks quite thin in the face but we know he died shortly after this time from TB. I would like to know if he could possibly be the same man?

Technical Help / Blacklisted IP address, help!
« on: Sunday 22 June 08 08:01 BST (UK)  »
I have been e mailing a friend for the past few years a couple of times a week, and last tonight when I sent an e mail it came back as Mail Delivery Failed: Returning message to sender, 550 mail not accepted from blacklisted IP address, followed my my IP address. I have tried three times to send my e mail and all three have returned.
 
  Could anyone explain why my e mails to my friend have been blacklisted and how do I clear this so I can continue to e mail my friend?  As far as I can tell it just seems to be happening with this one e mail address.
 
I have just tried again this morning and the same thing happened.

Any help please

The Common Room / Herbalists
« on: Thursday 29 May 08 09:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

  My Grandfather and Great Grandfather were both Herbalists and I was wondering if there was some sort of directory of herbalists that they may have belonged to (a bit of a long shot I know).

   My father says my Grandfather took a correspondence course and exams, would this have been the done thing in the 1920’s. My Great Grandfather became a Herbalist sometime after 1901.

  Would anyone know if any records would be kept anywhere?

  Many thanks

Canada / Help and guidance please - HOWE
« on: Tuesday 08 April 08 08:59 BST (UK)  »
  This is my first attempted at trying to find ancestors on the passenger lists, and I am not sure I have got the right man.

  I have two brothers that went to Canada, we did think that they went together but I am starting to think they went separately.

  This is what I have, Uriah Howe born 1857 in Askham, Westmorland, he is on the 1861 & 1871 census but not the 1881. His brother Joseph Howe born 1861 in Penrith Cumberland is on the 1881 census and then disappears.

  I have found an entry on the Toronto Emigrant database for a Uriah Howe, date of application Feb 2nd 1881 on the ship Sardinian arriving in Halifax, there is no mention of a Joseph and it had been thought they both travelled sometime around 1887.

I also found an entry on the Norway Heritage site for the ship SS Sardinian, 1881 Liverpool to Halifax date of arrival 29th Jan and it says Feeder ship from Christiania 1881-01-14. Could someone explain what a Feeder ship is, did he travel on two ships if so I cannot find the Christiania for matching dates.

 How would I confirm I have found the correct Uriah, and is there any chance of me finding Joseph without an exact date?

So any help, pointers or a nudge in the right direction would be welcome as I am getting a little lost with it all.

Lancashire / Help with marriage
« on: Sunday 30 March 08 15:36 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

  Could someone help me find my great Grandfathers 2nd marriage, he is William Slater and he married Florrie or Florence Holmes in Burnley. I have attached a photo of the wedding,  the little girl on the right is my Grandmother who was born 1912. I have searched but can not see them, but the 4th Q 1917 and 2nd Q 1915 are missing from Ancestry.

  Many Thanks

The Common Room / Could this be the right marriage?
« on: Wednesday 12 March 08 13:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

  I am in need of some opinions on a marriage please, I have a William Peirse and Deborah Summerbell as parents of my Lydia Peirse who was born 1818 in Richmond Yorkshire, she has a younger brother William Summerbell Peirse born about 1815 and older siblings, all of which are born in Richmond.

   I have found a marriage on the IGI for a William Peirse and Deborah Summerbell in Arundel, Sussex in 1820. I have a reference from the Durham Records Office dated 1820 saying "Ref No. D/HH 3/8/2 (2) William Peirse of Richmond, grocer (now imprisoned for debt)" I think this William could be mine as he is shown as a Grocer on the marriage certificate of his daughter Lydia.

  Is there any chance that this marriage could be my William's ? Both my William and Deborah were born in Richmond so there does not seem to be any links to Arundel, but the names Peirse and Summerbell are quite unusual.

Did he escape jail and dash over to Arundel to get married ??? then pop back again to have the rest of his family

Any ideas welcome

Hi,

  I am trying to find the death of George Parker Howe, he was born 1829 and his youngest child was born in 1874 in Melsonby Yorkshire, on the 1881 census his wife is shown as a widow and still living in Melsonby Yorkshire.

  I have been searching the BMD on Ancestry from 1873 to 1881 plus a couple of years either way and I can not see him anywhere.

  Any help appreciated.

      Janet.
