Armed Forces / What is the uniform
« on: Friday 19 February 10 15:27 GMT (UK)  »
This I a family mystery - his name is Cecil and he's standing with Polly, it was sent to 2 of my father's sisters and we have no idea who they are but I think identifying the uniform may send us in the right direction.

Australia Lookups completed / ROEBUCK FamilyCOMPLETED
« on: Friday 19 February 10 15:14 GMT (UK)  »
I have a William Roebuck born Yorkshire 1840 died Australia 1891 he was married to Harriet Coombs.  I have no idea if they had any children but as I am coming to Brisbane to see my son & his family later this year I thought it would be a good idea to try to discover
1    if he had any children and
2    if there are other Roebucks from Yorkshire in Aus to whom I may be related.

(William was my 1st cousin 3 times removed)

The Lighter Side / Is there a Genealogy Gene?
« on: Sunday 11 January 09 15:16 GMT (UK)  »
I ask the question because my 4 grandparents were called, Heap, Wild, Rhodes and Ridgway.
I have had :-  1 contact from a Heap
                       0 contacts from Wilds
                       1 contact with a Rhodes (a very good one)
   but               4 contacts with Ridgways
                               1 in the USA
                               1 in Malta
                               1 in Lancashre
                               1 in Southern Ireland.

3 out of 4 of Ridgway contacts are direct from our Gt Gt Grandparents.

Has anyone else had a similar instance ?

My step Father-in-Law was a POW in Japan and (I think) a rating in the Royal Marines - where can I find information on this ?

The Lighter Side / Very Unusual Forenames
« on: Sunday 29 June 08 14:17 BST (UK)  »
I was looking for a birth on Ancestry and I noted someone named :-

Albert Posthumous Brown born in 1894 in Barton R

Do you think his father predeceased his birth ?

No idea where Barton R registration district is or I'd have followed it up on censuses
