World War Two / Where to best to look for Military Record?
« on: Tuesday 31 March 09 00:33 BST (UK) »
Just wanted some guidance from all you helpful folks.
Where is it best to search for the military record of a person who was a Major in the British Army?
Definitely served in WWII.
Have no idea of regiment.

Kerry / Which Townland on Griffith's entry?
« on: Tuesday 03 March 09 10:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone.
Have checked Griffith's Valuation on askaboutireland site for a Cornelius Sullivan in Killarney.
There are 18 entries under Magunihy Barony.
Without knowing the Townland I can't narrow it down.
Any ideas about how I could find a Townland?

Census and Resource Discussion / BMD Certificates: "clerical error" and why transcriptions?
« on: Thursday 12 February 09 08:15 GMT (UK) »
I often receive transcriptions of BM&D certificates instead of photocopies of original certificates and would like to know why this is, apart from the obvious reason of a lack of clarity in reproduction of the original. Up until now I assumed this was the only reason for receiving transcriptions instead of originals.
I have just queried this with a local registry office; their reply:
The reason one of the certificates is handwritten is because there is a clerical error on the certificate, which has been corrected by the registrar at the time. We are not allowed to reproduce these but have to hand write them instead.
I'd like to know why these 'clerical error' certificates cannot be reproduced (if I ask I expect I will just be told 'those are the rules' and I don't want to keep bothering a busy Registry Office) my questions are:
does anyone on here know why?
does anyone know of any other reasons why transcriptions are sent instead of photocopies of originals?
any ideas of who I could write to and ask?
I find it disappointing when I receive a transcription instead of the original, not least because I can't see an ancestor's handwriting (if they can write) but because there is always some doubt hanging over their fidelity to the original because they are transcriptions.
