World War One / 3rd ? Coy, Royal Engineers
« on: Sunday 07 March 21 21:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

Please can someone tell me what 3rd ? Coy means, and does anyone know where these Royal Engineers were between August 1915 and March 1916

My next question, My Thomas Hobson joins up on 18th August 1915 and is in France 7 days later, is this unusual?

Thank you

Simon

Derbyshire / Oswald Stephen Dippnall died Belper 1961
« on: Saturday 09 May 20 13:43 BST (UK)  »
I have an uncle, my mothers brother, his name was Oswald Stephen Dippnall.  I believe he was profoundly handicapped, he died in the Belper registration district in 1961 age 9, this wasn't the family home county.  I was wandering whether there was some kind of hospital or the like in Belper.

I would send of for his death certificate, but I haven't received certificates that I sent off for in March

Thank you

Lancashire / Strangeways Prison, Manchester

Hi

I have an ancestor who was a naughty boy, between 1895 and 1903 he was given at least 4 terms of hard labour from the Manchester Police Court and Manchester Sessions.  Would this have been served at Strangeways or would he have been moved out of Manchester?

Thank you

This is the address on a 1841 census in Liverpool, the previous page the addresses are on St Johns Lane.  This one is given as Village St John.  I would like to know where in Liverpool this would be.  Will this be the area where St Johns Market and shopping mall are today

Thank you

Lancashire / Volunteers Needed At The Lancashire Infantry Museum
« on: Friday 07 June 19 11:00 BST (UK)  »
The museum in Fulwood Barracks needs help in telling their story to their Saturday visitors. You don't have to have served in the military, just have an interest in history and enjoy meeting people - why not come and join them? They are a friendly bunch and you will find that guiding visitors around one of the best regimental museums in the country is a very satisfying and enjoyable experience.
