Family History Beginners Board / WELL SINKER
« on: Sunday 20 December 20 12:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I have an ancestor whose occupation in 1885 is given as a Well Sinker.  Any ideas what this is?  Would it be connected to the manufacture of iron?  Other members of the family are Puddlers so would the two be connected in any way?

Family History Beginners Board / R.A.M.C?
« on: Thursday 08 March 18 20:58 GMT (UK)  »
In 1921 my granddad's occupation is given on his son's birth certificate as "Private 14 R.A.M.C"  Does anyone have any idea what this means?  He had been in the Royal Artillery during the war so could it be Royal Artillery Medical Corps as I do know that he returned to France after the war for clearance of the battlefields. 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Family History Beginners Board / Stavin Stone Farm
« on: Monday 10 October 16 10:30 BST (UK)  »
I'm researching the Catterall family from Blue Moor Farm, Inskip, Lancashire, in particular my 3x great uncle, Thomas Catterall b. 31 March 1846 d. 1906.  In his obituary it says that the family lived at Stavin Stone Farm, Inskip, (owned by Lord Derby) but I can't find any trace of this farm anywhere.  Can anyone help?
