World War Two / Ordering Army Military Records from WW2 - is it the TNA or MOD now?

« on: Wednesday 10 January 24 11:37 GMT (UK) »

Hi, Ive not ordered military records for a while and a friend has asked me to order some for them. Their Grandad was in the Army and served in WW2 and Burma. Has everything moved over to the TNA now so I order from them or do I still request the records from the MOD? And do we need proper certified birth and death certificates or will a pdf do if they ask for one? Many Thanks Vicky

Europe / De Jonge 1923 birth record in either Belgium or Netherlands

« on: Thursday 02 February 23 12:03 GMT (UK) »

Hello lovely people

I have a Josephine DE Jonge Born 12 Dec 1923, however, am not sure if she's born in Belgium or the Netherlands. Is there any likelihood of me being able to see birth records for 1923 online for either country?? She married in Llanelly in 1946 so I have her father's name Lodewjck De Jonge but would like to find her mothers name and also discover which country she was from. Thanks Vicky

Europe / Marriage in Belgium possibly in Anvers, where could I see the record??

« on: Thursday 26 January 23 11:56 GMT (UK) »

Hi, Ive not searched in Belgium records online for ages so Ive got a complete blank on whether a marriage in 1920 would be available to find online? I have a feeling you cant look at anything within 100 yrs however Ive got a marriage between a (possibly Irish) Patrick Hayes and a Lydia Ann Loosbergh who we believe got married in August in 1920 in either Anvers or Antwerp. They possibly had a son in Antwerp (or at least Belgium) before leaving the country on the outbreak of war. If anyone knows of a site which has 1920 records that would be fab. Thanks Vicky

Hi, Ive looked at the Belgian Archives and also Geneanet, Ancestry and Familysearch can I ask if anyone knows where else would be best to search online for a marriage in the Antwerpen area of Belgium c1890's. Many Thanks Vicky

London & Middlesex Resources / Records of a Manslaughter trial in 1947

« on: Wednesday 03 March 21 15:06 GMT (UK) »

Hi

My mum's cousin was charged with manslaughter in 1947 when he was involved in a car crash in Moorfields EC London and his father and one other person died. I have found the relevant article in the Daily Herald Newspaper in May 1947. I am not sure if any coroners records will exist for this year there was definitely a postmortem. Does anyone know if there would be court records from this period online? My Mum told me when I was a child that the trial had been heard in the Old Bailey - but the online records stop in 1913 I think. If not the Old Bailey does anyone know of what other court the trial might have been in. Im not a Londoner so I dont know that area very well. Thanks Vicky

Travelling People / Joseph Cacacie - Acrobat in Indian Circus

« on: Monday 21 September 20 09:34 BST (UK) »

Hi I am trying to trace a Joseph Cacacie - all thats known is a family story that he was born in Sicily, ended up in an orphanage and then joined the circus and travelled to India where he met his wife and had children. He definitely ended up in India as we have a baptism of his son Albert Joseph in 1910 in Madras India, the record says Joseph was an acrobat in the Indian Circus, his wife was called Mary Ann. I'm not sure where to start to look for Indian Circus records - if there are any to be researched?? Many Thanks. Vicky

Other Countries / Joseph Cacacie India? Italy??

« on: Thursday 17 September 20 14:06 BST (UK) »

Hi you lovely people, I'm trying to look at Albert Joseph Cacacie's family. He was born about 1906 in Belagum India, parents Joseph and Mary Ann Cacacie. The story was that Albert Joseph is from Sicily originally but was in the circus and travelled to India, that he was orphaned and thats how he ended up travelling with the circus but I have found his baptism in Madras on the familysearch website. Albert Joseph came to England with his family in 1958, but I've had no luck finding out more about his parents. I've ordered the book researching anglo-indian ancestors to see if that will help. Albert Joseph's wife's family were Anglo Indian and involved with the Railways so am wondering if the Cacacies were as well and that the whole circus/orphan thing is just a story... Thanks Vicky

Westmorland Lookup Requests / Kendal Look up please for Leonard Machell

« on: Wednesday 10 June 20 09:59 BST (UK) »

Hi

I'm trying to find the baptism Leonard Machell, according to the census he was born abt 1785-90 in Kendal. I'm not sure if he married in Kendal, I believe his first wife was Mary and he had three children, Leonard, Sarah Ann and John born I think in Manchester approx 1827-1830 (according to the census). Mary died before 1835 as he married his second wife Alice Armstead in this year. With the current situation obviously the archives are closed, I had a look at the Cumbria FHS website but they dont seem to have baptisms for Kendal. Would anyone be able to look up records they have for Kendal to see if Leonard was baptised there about this time? Thanks Vicky

Other Countries / Research for Baghdad under Ottoman Empire

« on: Monday 18 May 20 14:55 BST (UK) »

Hi Im trying to research John Nahum Farage, possible born 1858 in Baghdad. I posted this in under 'Europe' forum on Rootschat - (so sorry for the duplication) as I initially thought he was born to European parents in Baghdad, I have sent for his marriage certificate to find out what his father's name is - but this will take a while to arrive. From the other post have since found out he could be either from Baghdad's Jewish Community due to his name - or from the name of one of his daughter's 'Mena Ferida" he could also be from a Muslim background. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction for research as I have never searched in this geographical area before. Thanks Vicky
