Ayrshire / Chief Constable of Ayr - Help needed!

« on: Friday 11 March 22 17:35 GMT (UK) »

I wonder if anyone can help me at all. I am looking for information on Angus Gunn the Head/Chief Constable of Ayr from 1814-1827. I think he married Janet Kerr in 1815 and had 4 children. I have got some information about his work life including information about the hanging at Symington Toll, but I am struggling to find anything about when and where he was born and what happened to him after he retired (due to injury at an incident in Mauchline). Can anyone help? I have seen some unconfirmed information on Ancestry (about both Angus and Janet) but am not convinced it's right.

I don't know whether I've missed something obvious, but I am trying to find the following person in 1891 Census and cannot find her anywhere!

Emily Hester born 1886 (+/-1) Wycombe

I have her in 1901, but she is not with her family

I may well have to order a birth certificate to find out her parents, but was trying to avoid it if possible $:-\$

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Willesden Jewish Cemetery

« on: Saturday 05 April 08 17:48 BST (UK) »

Does anyone live near Willesden Jewish Cemetery, Beaconsfield Road?
If so, I was wondering if you'd be able to have a look for a grave and take a photo or find out what is written on it.
Just in case the details are:

Esther Lyons
Date of burial 16/11/1897
Section K
Row C
Plot 17

Here's hoping ......

I have posted this once before, but I thought I'd try again as I'm still stuck, although I have few bits of extra info:
Looking for any information on:
James Oakley White born High Wycombe, Bucks
Father: Frederick Oakley White
Emigrated with his mother Eileen Mary White ) in Nov 1948 on SS Washington.
Arrived in New York 22 Nov 1948
Destination recorded on Passenger list: 1028 W Hollins St. Baltimore

I believe he was in the US Navy.

Any ideas of how I can find out more e.g. where he went, who he married, if he had children etc???

Europe / German Look up needed - not really an immigrant!

« on: Tuesday 14 August 07 22:33 BST (UK) »

I wasn't sure if this was the right place to put this request, but it seemed the 'best fit'.

I've just spotted on the 1881 Census a Gustaf Lowenthal b1836 Oelft, Germany. He is on board a ship called GF Muntz in Lundy Island, Devon.

He also seems to be listed on a German Ships Crew List in Bremen, but I can't access the details.

Can some kind soul see if they can find anything about him or the ship he was on?

« on: Thursday 15 February 07 16:40 GMT (UK) »

Looking for the possible baptism of William White c1785 in Emmington, Oxfordshire which I believe comes under Thame registration district.
I know it's a very common name - but just thought it would be worth a shot

Thanks
