Sussex / William George Mills and Ralph Duly Brighton 1956
« on: Wednesday 04 January 23 22:46 GMT (UK)  »
I have a relative William George Mills who died in Brighton on April 26th 1956. Probate names Alberta Louisa Duly. When researching her I found that she had a husband Ralph Duly who died at the same address on 20th April 1956. Alberta inherited a very similar amount from both men. It all looks rather odd. A relative has sent for William’s will. Is anyone able to see any newspaper articles on these men? Were there any particular illnesses rife in Brighton at that time?

Many thanks for any ideas that might help me with this mystery.

Would anybody be able to look up to see who was living at 21 Bedhampton Hill, Havant in 1902-4? It might well have been called Front Hill at that time.

Many thanks.

Sussex / John Mills Lancing / Worthing
« on: Tuesday 17 August 21 21:17 BST (UK)  »
I am wondering if anyone with access to a Kelly’s directory can see a John Mills? In 1938 he was known to live at 40, Goring Rd, Lancing. In 39 he was at 16 Addison Sq, Lancing. He died in 1977 living at  52, Shelley Rd,  Worthing.

Many thanks.

Sussex Lookup Requests / Mills family - Kelly’s Directory of Brighton
« on: Sunday 03 March 19 14:02 GMT (UK)  »
Good afternoon

Would anybody be able to check out Kelly’s for me for 1904 and 1937 for a Mills with an unknown Christian name? In 1904 I am specifically looking for one that lived perhaps near Richmond Road. In 1937 I am hunting for one living in Lancing. I am sorry to be so vague. My DNA result has thrown up a total mystery so this is a possible long shot.

Best wishes and many thanks.

Norfolk / FROST Manslaughter case July 1852 Wisbech
« on: Friday 12 January 18 12:31 GMT (UK)  »
I have found details in the British Newspaper Archive of a manslaughter case against Uriah and Jeremiah FROST in July 1852. I know that they were both charged and the Bill was Ignored.
Can anyone tell me if Ignored means dropped?

Many thanks

Sussex / Brighton Registry Office 1924
« on: Monday 11 September 17 11:31 BST (UK)  »
Good morning.

I have just received my Grandparent's Marriage Certificate. They married at Brighton Registry Office in March 1924. Where was the Registry Office back in the 1920's?

I am a bit puzzled as although she was 18 my Grandmother doesn't have a profession. Her daughter was born about 5 weeks later. Could that perhaps be why? She was living at 241 Preston Drove so I feel she must have been a servant?

Many thank for any thoughts.

Norfolk / Watts Naval College North Elmham
« on: Saturday 08 July 17 12:15 BST (UK)  »
Good morning,

Does anyone have accesss to the admission records for Watts Naval College?
I am looking for the record of Vernon Claude Calland-Scoble who was born 19th September 1903. I have a Naval record listing the ships that he served on but I am particularly interested to know what information was given about his parents when he was admitted. I can see the records are on Familysearch but can't seem to get to them.

Many thanks for any help you can give me.
