Lanarkshire / Was this photo taken in Old Monkland Cemetery?
« on: Friday 29 October 21 17:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone recognise the background of this photo being Old Monkland Cemetery? I appreciate it's small and unclear, but I'm hoping the hills in the background are distinctive enough to establish yes or no. It's a family grave, and the relative who gave me the photo says he thinks it's Old Monkland Cemetery, but can't be sure.

I don't know when the photo was taken, but it would have been after 1950.

Thanks for any help!

Other Countries / Barraclough search
« on: Tuesday 02 February 21 23:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I am trying to find any information on Florence Beryl Barraclough who married a William George Bearcroft in 1917. I believe she was born in 1898. I am able to find her children but nothing about her parents. I believe her father was Albert Barraclough who was I have been told was born in England but moved to India and was a foreman on the GIP railway.
I have no information on Florences mother but I have been told she is of Spanish or Portuguese decent. Possible names have been told to be Jessica Pranze or Pereira.

I know that Florence had two sisters, Louisa or Luisa Beatrice and Mary Alberta. Again I have their marriage records but nothing else.

If anybody could help me piece some bits together I would really appreciate it!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Wha comes before 'Father' in this marriage cert?
« on: Wednesday 30 December 20 21:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

Made the discovery today that my 2x great-grandfather was illegitimate. However, I may have realised this sooner had I taken a closer look at his marriage certificate. I can't work out what comes before 'father' in the entry for Andrew Craig - it reads "John Berry, general labourer (?? father)".

John Berry was not Andrew's biological father, that was the Andrew Craig his mother "subsequently" married (I'm not so sure she actually did just yet), but Andrew did take the Berry name while growing up. Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me work out what kind of father John Berry is described as, which might help me work out the family dynamic better.

Sorry for the bad crop, the attachment size limit is killer...

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / George Bearcroft
« on: Sunday 27 December 20 00:09 GMT (UK)  »
I am struggling to find anything on George Bearcroft who I believe should be born in the early 1800s.

So far I know that he has a son born in Worcestershire in 1828 called William George Bearcroft who moved to India and married Elizabeth Wilson in 1859.

His son William George lived in India for the rest of his life and died in 1885.

I am hoping to find a birth certificate for William George Bearcroft or a census to help me find more information on George.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hayley
