The Common Room / Workhouse abbreviation
« on: Tuesday 16 April 24 20:27 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know what FPH stands for? It's in the Observations column.  Other entries in the column vary from 'paralysed', 'deserted' to 'dislocated hip'.  But there are several with FPH. 

The record is for Bromley House, Stepney.

Essex Lookup Requests / Great Baddow marriage/banns
« on: Saturday 13 April 24 16:42 BST (UK)  »
I’ve found a marriage on Ancestry dated 5 June 1877 between Emma Louisa Dossitter and George Moses Brown.  Confusingly, Ancestry also has a similar record for this couple on 3rd June 1877 at Great Baddow but this time George’s surname is given as Brignell.  Is anyone able to check the actual entry on the ERO site for the latter record please?

Essex / Essex County Lunatic Asylum in South Weald
« on: Saturday 23 March 24 20:40 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone know if the Essex Record Office in Chelmsford have records for the above Asylum?  I'm interested in someone there on the 1881 census and wondering if it's worth a visit?

World War One / PoW location
« on: Tuesday 26 December 23 20:30 GMT (UK)  »
According to the grand guerre website, Rifleman 608520 Frederick George Webb, London Rent was captured at a place called Fius - but I can't find this on a map.  Does anyone know if this is a place?

It also mentioned a town called (Laz) Valenciennes but I think that's the location of a hospital he was treated in (which I have found on a map).

Essex / Monumental Inscriptiion
« on: Saturday 23 December 23 18:23 GMT (UK)  »
I have been trying to help someone looking for a burial at my local cemetery (via Find-A-Grave) but unfortunately the burial records for St. Marys, Runwell were destroyed in 1953. 

Apparently Essex Family History Society have transcribed some of the headstones.  Does anyone have a copy of the CD and could check the details for me:

Horace Britton Laverack, died 30 October 1952

Thank you. :)

Can anyone confirm the street on the attached death certificate? The closest match I can see is Swinnerton but I'm not completely sure.  Thank you.

Are there any online sites that can give me names of surgeons in the 1880s?

At the time of the 1911 census there is a small school in Trewartha Park Weston-super-Mare.  Does anyone know its name?
