Hi
If possible can you find a burial for James Green death 1898 March Q Chelsea.
Family search have a burial for James Green Chelsea 15 Feb 1898 Im trying to find out more details to see if its my James Green!

I have him in the 1891 census at Chelsea Charlotte St born c1841 Ireland, a Tailor.
Think I have him in the 1892 and 1893 Electoral Roll, 1892 at Charlotte St. and 1893 at Cross St possibly.
I've never been able to find him in the 1881.
His daughter Catherine was born Whitechapel 1874.
The mother Mary "disappears" after the birth of Catherine, not listed in the 1891 where he is a widower.
Grateful for any help, just trying to pick up research again after a while away. (moving house , looking after grandchildren etc  ;D)
Thank you,
Newbie

I have just tried to order a digital copy of the death from GRO but can't seem to do it, I've searched the index as usual but it isn't listing digital copy?

Armed Forces / Obtaining Fathers Army WW2 Record.
« on: Friday 09 October 20 14:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi My Husband completed the request forms for his Fathers Army record and sent the cheque for £30.00 on 2 July 2020. Haven't heard anything since, and can't find any phone numbers to contact. Sure he sent it "signed for" and so we know it arrived.
Can you suggest how to follow it up please?
Thanks,
Newbie

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Glamorgan Parish Register Marriage Entry 1918
« on: Tuesday 24 October 17 16:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I wonder if anyone has access to the Glamorgan Parish Register 1918
I have found some information using FamilySearch but just thought the actual entry may show me a bit more information!

Looking for William Lewis Stephens, Marriage to Jessie Moses on 4 Sep 1918.
Abercynon, Glamorgan Wales.
His address at time of marriage, ?  any witnesses?
I think his birth is around 1893 so if there was a baptism as well that would be great!

Many thanks,
Newbie  (fingers crossed)

Canada Lookup Request / John Thomas Ford (aka Jack Ford)
« on: Sunday 11 June 17 15:07 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am stuck and would appreciate some help please.
I do have an Anc.sub but not worldwide, I have tried using Canadian  sites and also Familysearch but think I have exhausted my options for now.

I am looking for any further Census information, Marriage Certificates,  Death Certificates. Electoral Roll maybe.?
Jack Thomas Ford b c1875 Dowlais Wales.  Father Luke Ford.   
I have found John in the 1911 census and in the 1916 census he is in Saskatchewan, district 19.Kindersley.  together with  brother Frank.
I have Johns death certificate , died Oct 9th 1960 in Victoria found online.  His second wife Nellie (Cooke) is the informant.  On Family search I can find the marriage transcript (but not a certificate which would be great to have if available)
Also on British Colombia Death Registrations I find Mary Ford, died 9 March 1938  (Victoria) transcript.  I have never been able to find her marriage to John Ford.
I also found John and Mary on the SS Duchess of Richmond, Sailing from Liverpool 21 March 1930. 
John T Ford, born Dowlais, Age 55.   If in Canada Before :  1905 - (22 Nov)1929.  Kyle Sask.   
Mary Ford,   born Dowlais,  Age 56,  In Canada 1909 - (Nov) 1929.  Kyle Sask.


In Library & Archives Canada, I found Land grants for both John T. and Frank
https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/land/land-grants-western-canada-1870-1930/Pages/list.aspx?Names=Ford&Range=16&Meridian=W3&
They look as if they could be  adjoining land . 
Are wills/probate available to search for Canada,?Johns death occurred in Victoria so he obviously wasn't farming any more.
Lots of questions - sorry?

Thank you,
Newbie

(Edited as realised I was asking too many questions!)

Technical Help / Transfer files from PC to MacAir??
« on: Friday 08 January 16 16:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
Can I please ask for some help?  I moved over to a MacAir about two years ago, however I have an old PC that has an awful lot of photos, jpegs, files for family history,  (media) downloads of census etc. what would be the best way to transfer them to the Mac.  I have an external hard drive which they are on but the MacAir does not recognise this drive. If I purchase another external drive that is formatted for a Mac will the PC be able to download the files?  or same if I use a USB stick?  I think the problem is due to the formatting being completely different??
Any help welcome   
thanks,
