Scotland / Need some advice about a birth certificate
« on: Tuesday 05 January 16 22:24 GMT (UK)  »

Hi all,

Hope you don't mind me posting but I need some advice about a birth certificate.

A friend has got a copy if you can call it that of a birth certificate for a half sibling born in Glasgow.
My friend believes that if the half sibling had been adopted that there would be an initial on the certificate to indicate this. Obviously things are slightly different in Scotland and I wondered if this is correct?

The copy my friend has got says Clients name (with my friends name next to it), Birth Certificate of Half Sibling (relationship to enquirer), then District, entry no, name, date of birth, place. Fathers name is blank.

I would be grateful for any feed back.

Travelling People / Our Common Heritage
« on: Monday 26 January 15 22:12 GMT (UK)  »

The Romany and Traveller Family History Society posted this information on another site earlier today.

The Chilterns Conservation Board has just published Our Common Heritage. It’s a free online publication about the social history of the commons in an area stretching from Berkshire and Oxfordshire to Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.
The publication includes an essay by RTFHS member Anne Ford called ‘On Common Ground’. This focuses on the Romany families who lived in and travelled through the region in the 19th century and made a major contribution to its rural economy and social life by working on the farms and brick kilns, providing music and fairground rides at fairs and feasts and supplying household essentials such as pegs, baskets and brooms. The families named in the study include Hearn, Loveridge, Fenner, Draper, Beldam, Leatherland, Fisher, Harris, Shaw, Buckland, Smith, Boswell and many others.
The cover photograph of the publication shows a fine portrait of the famous Gypsy Elizabeth Leatherland (nee Hearn) who claimed to be 111 years old at her death in Tring, Hertfordshire, in 1874.

Does anyone know if there is a link resource that I can use to see if there are records of a deceased family member working at Larbert Hospital possibly the late 1930's early 1940's.

US Lookup Requests / Bertha Bramwell
« on: Friday 27 December 13 14:30 GMT (UK)  »

Hi Everyone,

I am hoping that some kind person may be able to help me out please. I have a bit of a stumbling block with my grandfathers Aunt, Bertha Bramwell who was born in Bolton Lancashire about 1882. I have never been able to find any trace of her after her birth in the UK. Today whilst on another site it threw something up which has made me wonder if Bertha travelled from the UK with her older sister Clara or maybe before Clara (I have information about Clara and her family already) to Fall River Massachusetts.

The information that has come up on another site has a Bertha Bramwell who married a Fred Bentley December 31st 1903 in Fall River Massachusetts, which is the same place Clara married Robert Hartley in 1905. I am hoping that this could be my Bertha Bramwell.

Kind Regards
Lyne

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Mary Bramwell
« on: Friday 03 May 13 14:04 BST (UK)  »

Hi everyone, I have been researching my paternal family tree for quite some time now and like alot of my cousins, second cousins and distant relations who are researching as well I have drawn a total blank with my 3 x great grandfather Ralphs, sister Mary Bramwell.

Mary was born in Tideswell in 1814 to Margaret Bramwell which was confirmed a couple of years ago by someone who had a look at the parish records, she was illegitamate as was my 3 x great grandfather Ralph.

Just recently I have come across a tree that has a Mary Bramwell born 1815 in Tideswell who married a Thomas Hill in 1835 in Tideswell, the tree has no parents for Mary. I know it maybe a long shot but I was wondering if anyone has access to see if this could possible be the Mary Bramwell I am looking for.
Kind Regards
Lyne
