Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Elsie Thorne - Woolston, Southampton
« on: Tuesday 30 January 24 02:40 GMT (UK)  »
Am helping a cousin who is trying to find more information on Elsie Thorne, who lived on Swift Road, Woolston, Southampton. My cousin has part of a letter dated 1974 that was sent to her grandmother and is signed by “Aunt Elsie”. Wondering how to go about finding more about this Elsie Thorne.

Have been looking for online obituaries or city directories but haven’t found anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

World War One / WW1 Death Certificates
« on: Monday 29 March 21 22:18 BST (UK)  »
My Grandfather (TEA Walker, Service # 77468, dod 23 Apr 1918) died in WW1. There are commemoration details on the CWGC. But I can't find any kind of a Death Certificate.

Were Death Certificates issued for the war dead?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Witness Signature
« on: Sunday 24 May 20 01:44 BST (UK)  »
Hello Chatters:

Can anyone help with this Witness signature on an 1828 marriage in Aston on Trent in Derbyshire? It's not a surname of either the Groom or Bride and I couldn't find it anywhere else in the register.

It looks like it starts with a 'K' and ends with a 'y' but that's as far as I can get.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Margin Note for Caroline Frearson
« on: Sunday 05 January 20 00:12 GMT (UK)  »

Happy New Year All:

Can anyone help with the margin note beside this Baptism entry for Caroline Frearson in 1856?

I keep thinking it has something to do with an illegitimate birth but can't figure it out.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with Sarrah's surname please
« on: Monday 23 October 17 17:33 BST (UK)  »
Trying to locate my Sarah Bates in Stoneleigh, Warwickshire in the early 1790's.

Any ideas on the surname of Sarrah, third line in the clip?:
Sarrah Natural Dt of Mary B....?

There is a Hannah Bates on the first line of the clip for comparison. I did wonder if Sarrah's surname was Beaty.
