Northumberland / claims to be german but isn't - why?
« on: Monday 02 March 09 16:25 GMT (UK)  »
I have an ancestor Elizabeth who married a Scotsman.  Her Father was German but she was born in Gateshead (1847).  What I can't understand is why her place of birth on 1871, 1891 and 1901 census gives Germany.  Only census that shows correct place is 1881.  I originally thought her husband may have presumed she was born in Germany but on the 1901 census she was living alone as husband had died and still gives place of birth as Germany.  Would there have been any benefits in pretending she was of German origin?  This is really bugging me.  Any suggestions welcome.

South Africa / Emigrants to S. Africa - where do I start? Help
« on: Friday 08 February 08 11:58 GMT (UK)  »
My Great Uncle, William Henry Parsons married in 1919 and is said to have emigrated to South Africa with his wife to work in the Gold Mines.  He originated from Northumberland.  Would there be any documents I could trace to find him.  Emigration is a totally new experience for me.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / is it possible to tidy up grandfather?
« on: Thursday 07 February 08 17:12 GMT (UK)  »
Is it possible to clean up this photo of my grandfather.   I had a photo of his wife (wonderfully) restored  in December by kind members and would like to put Grandfathers in the album next to hers.   If it is not too cheeky could I have it in sepia to match hers.

Many thanks

Ditsy :)
