Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with OPR location *completed*
« on: Saturday 03 September 11 16:48 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help decipher the village or farm name in this 1771 OPR for Dalry, Ayrshire?  ??? To me it looks something like KEYLOCHMINIE but I can't find any such place.

Leicestershire / Lucy Ann Lovett, Loughborough
« on: Wednesday 15 March 06 22:31 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find out more about Lucy Ann Lovett (maiden name unknown) who was the wife of Harry Edgar Lovett.  When WWI started, Harry and Lucy were living in Paris, Ontario, Canada, and Harry joined up 25 Dec 1915 and was sent overseas.  Lucy moved to Clarence House, Clarence Street, Loughborough in Oct. 1916 where she died 27 Feb 1919.  Harry was born in Shepshed, Leicester, but we don't know if Lucy was from the area or not.  Only a guess that she moved back to be with her family once he'd gone off to war.

Does anyone know if Clarence House was a private residence during this period?  Or possibly a boarding house?  Without being able to make a trip to England and check the PRO, how could I get her death certificate or burial details that might show who she was.  Are there any burial records available online for Loughborough? 

Any suggestions?

West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Entryfoot and Mosshouses, Torphichen

Does anyone know if the address "Entryfoot" or "Entryfoot Turnpike Road" for Torphichen refers to a row of cottages?  Would they still exist?  They are in the censuses right up to 1891.

There is also a farm that I would like to locate that was known as Mosshouses, Torphichen in the 1800s.  My Grahams were tenant farmers there, and it was
rented from Sir Thomas Livingstone.

Does any of this ring any bells?
