Hi
I am not sure I have asked about this topic in the past. It will be awhile ago so I have lost track. I apologize if I have.

My Grt Grandfather George Norman was born in west Bengal India in 1880. (there may be 3 children in total born in India) George's occupation was a deckhand in the Navy, he died in Ireland falling from a train in 1915.

Birth details
Name   George Norman
Gender   Male
Birth Date   29 Nov 1880
Baptism Date   15 Dec 1880
Baptism Age   0
Baptism Place   Bengal, India
Father   George Norman
Mother   Bridget


I found George along with his father on the 1911 Irish census.

On the census the Father was a widow (wife Bridget Mullin) aged 65, born Gravesend England, retired from the 39 Dord Regiment.

I found a George Norman on the 1871 Census based at the Royal Marine Barracks Gillingham, Kent.

I am trying to see if I can find a link.

Would either Royal Marines or the 39 Dord Regiment have been in India around 1880.

Thanks.

Hi, I would appreciate any help.

I am not convinced I am following the right family.

I am looking for the parents of Harriet Brookes, according to the 1939 register she was born 26 June 1883 in Bilston, Staffordshire. (unable to find birth record) there are variations on the name Brookes so makes it difficult.

Harriet Marriage.

Marriage: 17 Jul 1901 St Cuthbert, Churchtown, Southport Lancs. John Jones - 23, Provision Trade? Bachelor, 133 Old Park Road Harriet Brookes - 21, Spinster, 130 Newton St. Groom's Father: John Jones, Ironmonger Bride's Father: George Brookes, Boat Man?

In 1901 Harriet is living with her Mother Ann (Widow) Born Abt 1842 Bilston Staffordshire. The address matches the marriage record. (130 Newton St). Ann's Granddaughter is also at the address (Florence Johnson).

Harriet's sister is Alice Brookes (Born Abt 1876) Married Edward Johnson 25 May 1896, Birkdale, Southport. Father George Brookes Boat loader. (Info gained from marriage certificate) Ann (mother) was living with Alice in 1911 South Manchester.

I found a Marriage for George Brookes and Ann Hayward 10 Feb 1861 St Peters Walsall Stafford. So I have been following that line but I am not sure I am on the right track.

According to the person who I am doing the family tree for they were told that George had a fleet of Barges (not sure where) this would fit in with the information on the marriages of his daughter.

The George and Ann I have been following there is no mention of boats he is recorded as being a general Laborer on the 1881 census. So I may have the wrong George and Ann.

If anyone can help with Information/advice I would be thankful.

Thanks

Hi
Hope someone can help
I am looking for the marriage of Irene Hitchen and Edward Daniel Daly (1916-1991)

Irene was born 1 Feb 1917 in Prescot, Wigan, Lancashire, England.

Irene spent most of her young life in institutes. (Workhouse, asylum)

She traveled to Australia on the 29 June 1950 and possibly married Edward.

I believe they had 3 Children?

One of the children was named Colleen Iris Daly  born 1952, died 1959 Blacktown, Sydney New South Wales Australia.

Edward may have been married twice.

I was informed by a family member that Irene died in New Zealand in 2009.

Hi
I am not sure if anyone can help I don't have a lot of information.

I am looking for the first marriage of a Bridget Brown her married name was Maloy.

According to the 1861 census Bridget was born around 1831 Mayo, Ireland.

She was living in Preston Lancashire on the 1861 census and had remarried to a John Saul in 1859.

Bridget's father was Peter Brown, Farmer. (Info from parish marriage record 1859 St Johns, Preston, Lancashire) Bridget was a widow when she remarried.

Bridget had three children with her first husband.

Bernard Maloy 1847. Mary Ann Maloy 1849 and Bridget 1851.
I think Bernard was born in Ireland but not sure about the other two.

I would appreciate any information.

Hi
Is it possible to find the history of a Beer House.

I have an Harriet Finney (widow) recorded on the 1861 Census she was a Beer House keeper at King Street, Odd Fellows Arms, Salford.

 On the 1851 Census she was living with her Husband in Cheshire they owned a large amount of land. Her husband died in 1857. I am trying to find out if her husband went with Harriet to Salford.

I believe they sold most of the land to Cheadle Royal Hospital, so I am assuming they sold up and bought the Odd Fellows Arms?

I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
