Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1841 Marriage certificate
« on: Tuesday 30 January 24 21:58 GMT (UK)  »
I have an 1841 marriage certificate of my 3 x great grandmother, please could someone help me decipher the name of the father - looks like GB Riley. It might even be an abbreviation of a longer name.  :-\
Any help appreciated. Thankyou.

Could somebody please help me to read the occupation of my 3 x Great Grandfather, James Hargreaves from the 1861 Census of Bury. I can see Clog + Shoe Maker, PM (what's that?) but no further.   ???

Family History Beginners Board / William Collins emigration.
« on: Thursday 14 December 17 22:37 GMT (UK)  »
Hello rootschatters!
I am trying to find information about my great great grandfather William Collins born 7th March 1845, Cornwall, England. He left Cornwall for California on the 11th April 1870 but that is all I know. I would like to discover which ship he travelled on and whereabouts in California he settled, I believe he went in search of gold.
I have obtained my details from a relative who had access to an old family bible.
I have looked on ancestry (library edition) and followed a link to the 'library of congress' to check for US immigrants but still couldn't find any information.
I am new to genealogy and feel like I'm barking up the wrong tree. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thankyou.  :) :)
