Family History Beginners Board / Dodds of Bellingham
« on: Monday 26 June 23 19:20 BST (UK)  »
Hello, My family of Dodds come from in and around Bellingham, ie Wark I am just wondering if they were involved with the Border Reviers. Is there a database of court records or names of well known troublemakers!
They may have not been involved but I have Ridley surname too in my history which I believe they were involved in Border Rievers too.
I just wonder whether records would have been kept or have they disappeared?

Hello I found that my ancestor though marriage was Connie Gilchrist an Artists model and later Gaiety Girl, and eventually Countess of Orkney. Her mother and sister were models for Frederic Leighton. Rumour has come down the family that Sir John Everett Millais Painting of The Princes in the Tower artist models were my relatives too and that one was a girl model! How can I find any records of this if possible. Thankyou

Family History Beginners Board / Coroner Reports
« on: Saturday 13 January 18 13:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I have just received a copy of my Great Great Grandfathers Death Certifcate. His name was Thomas Allar who was a Weaver and lived in the registration district of Bethnal Green. He died in 1844 from the effects of drowning 6 days after immersion, I have the coroners first initial and surname, does any one know if there will be records for this. He lived and died in Old Castle Street, London, but I don’t think it was near the Thames, I just feel that this was a strange way to die.
