Hi
I'm trying to find whether I have any Copson links with Octar (Harry) Copson born in 'Worcester' (that's all I have) in 1851.
If anyone has access to the 1861 census and can find him  as a 9/10 year old I'd be very grateful. Info on his aprentys etc would be great.
He was working at Royal Worcs from around 1868-1880.

many thanks

Hi!

If anyone is looking at the 1861 for West Brom and they come across a:

 George Watson (bricklayer)

 I'd be grateful for any info on him. He had a daughter Sarah who would  about 18 at the time of the 1861 I don't know if she was living at home in 1861.

I don't have any more info that that, sorry,  I know Sarah married in 1862 in the 'parish church' in West Brom but the certificate I have gives no further info.
Many thanks

Hi,
I know this is a long shot but, has anyone access to parish records for Ireton Cumberland?
 I can't find anything online (if anyone knows if records are available online that would help too!).

I'm trying to find the records of William Turner born  about 1751 in Burnthouse Ireton , His lady wife Mary (no maiden name) born 1755
and their children:
Robert  1777
Mary Elizabeth 1779
Samuel  1783
Jane 1788
As far as I know they were all born in Burnthouse Ireton.
It is possible someone might find Samuel and Robert on the 1841 census, that would help too.

I'm also looking for John Bryden (Brydon) who was born in Ireton in 1800.
Jim kindly found John Bryden on the 1851 census for me, but if anyone can find a parish record of him marrying Mary Turner in Ireton around  1823  it would be great!

Also, I have this Turner mystery, The name goes down the generations, not just through one 'link' (child) but I've found cousins with the 'Turner' name. Makes me wonder who he was? Not anything to do with THE William Turner I know, but I do wonder if he was 'someone' (as opposed to a nobody like me!)
Thanks very much
Meg

Hi,
If any one is looking at 1841/51 census for Little Comberton Worcs and  they spot the Name COPSTONE (could be Copston, or even Copson) I'd be grateful for any info.

Looking for info on William Copstone born 1750 died 1850 (so only 1841 applies)
AND William Copstone born 1813

any info on any other Copstone, Copston, Copson links appreciated.

Many Thanks,
Meg.

This isn't really a light matter but didn't really know where to put it!

I've recently joined (quite a large FHS) who want me to fill out an Ancestry chart, so far so good, BUT this includes my D.O.B and that of my spouse and parents and grandparents... and my home address...
This will then be on a disc and available to any one who asks for it. They also seem to put email address in their lists whether you want them to or not!

Is this really a good idea  these days?

I think not!!
Imagine all the uses 'bad' people could do with my info!
Think of the people who use mother's maiden name for bank account passwords! (I don't as it happens!)

I'm  very  very wary about giving out info about my self unless I know it is going to be strictly controlled, FHS's are run by volunteers and there doesn't seem to be any idea of PRIVACY or data protection..

Needless to say I shall not be filling the form with info earlier than my grandparents! I shall also be telling the said FHS what I think of their ideas!
Any one else come across this  lack of security with FHS's ?
