Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Irish Place names

« on: Saturday 20 January 24 15:09 GMT (UK) »

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts for the highlighted places of birth in Ireland please ?

I think that possibly Isabella Wilson was born somewhere in County Down but that is not certain.

Many thanks.

World War One / Letter from Le Bizet - Help with surname

« on: Wednesday 22 January 20 13:19 GMT (UK) »

Hi All,

I have a letter which my great uncle picked up in a ruined house in Nieuwkerke on the 1st October 1915. The letter is written from someone who lived in Le Bizet (Nr Armentieres) to his brother and sister, asking them to visit and bring some eggs. It is dated the 4th September 1914.

Two things:-

If you belonged to this family, would you like the letter returned ?

I am struggling with the surname. I think it is G Cappaert.

Can anyone decipher the name any better ?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Armagh / where is Mullingde?

« on: Monday 21 May 12 09:19 BST (UK) »

Hi, Wondering if anyone can clarify the following? I have John Wallace (possibly could be Wallis) but on cenuses in Scotland spelt Wallace born Mullingde County Armagh Ireland father John and Mother Mary Mchon. I am having difficulty finding this place, I know it could be a spelling mistake so if anyone has knows of something similar any suggestions would be helpful.

Also his wife Jane Wyllie (not sure whether 1 or 2 l's) father Charles and mother Jane Griffin, born Irvine, Linton, Ireland - haven't a clue what county this is in - any clues gratefully recieved.

Occupation Interests / Look-up Merchant Navy Seamen

« on: Tuesday 15 May 12 10:09 BST (UK) »

Hi All, If possible could somebody check for Mayne Wm p.o.b, Mount Bally Water. on the Merchant Navy Seamens lists for 1835-1941. I am interested in this because my Great Grandfather William Mayne b 1858 Belfast CO5215 (Captains Number) marriage certificate has his fathers name as William Mayne and occupation mariner, he also came from Ballywalter, Ireland. The above seems quite similar although not quite correct, so fingers crossed there could possibly be a connection.

Thank You

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Any Advice - Annie Lyall

« on: Friday 04 May 12 09:23 BST (UK) »

Hi, I have found Annie Lyall in the 1911 census living in St. Pancras, is there anyway of finding out who she is with? Also I cannont find any record of her death she was 81 at the time so I doubt that she went back to her home town of Caledon, Tyrone Ireland. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.

Thanks

Devon / Tranter 1871 census please

« on: Friday 04 March 11 12:58 GMT (UK) »

Hi, I have found a Kate W Tranter in the 1871 census born 1866, unfortunately I don't have access to this, could someone please spend a minute to have a look at it for me, I am interested as to where she was born, and I also can't find her in the 1881 census! In 1871 she is based in Axminster I think. Later census (after she married) states she was born in London or in New York, USA!!! Her middle name is Whitbread married name Pellowe.

Thanks
