Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help needed please

« on: Saturday 15 October 22 14:21 BST (UK) »

Hi Guys,

I wonder if someone can possibly help me please? I have the following christening record for a Thomas Bowar dated 1773 St Olave, Southwark. I already know that most of it says Thos, son of Thos and Ann Bowar but there is a word after it that I cant make any sense of.

Best wishes

Ann

Hi Guys,

Can someone possibly help me with this baptism record for 1579 Swalcliffe, Oxfordshire please?
Someone has it down as Julian daughter of Toram Lamb, I definately know that the fathers name starts with J as there is a John elsewhere on the record with the same style J, could the fathers name be Jerom?

Thank you

Midlothian / Greyfriars Burial

Hey guys,

I wonder if anyone can help me?

I've visited Greyfriars today and there's a gravestone that I came across that I can't stop thinking about and wonder if anyone knows who is buried there? The gravestone simply says C L died 22nd August 1783.

Thanks

Surrey / Help with a brickwall with a fresh pair of eyes.

« on: Wednesday 20 January 21 13:32 GMT (UK) »

Hi Guys,

Can anyone please possibly help with a brickwall that I have had for years now? maybe a set of fresh eyes might help me solve it, it has been driving me nuts for years and maybe there is somewhere I haven't looked.

I have been trying to research my 5th great grandparents William and Mary Bleach. The information I have at the moment is:

They had 4 children: Jane 1796, Edward (my 4th great grandad) 1799, Diana 1805, James 1807. I haven't found any birth/baptism records at all for them but I have found a Removal Order dated 1812 with all their ages and according to census records they were born in Lambeth. The Removal Order moves them from Newington to Wandsworth. I have no records for William but his wife Mary is in an 1841 census with her son Edward and his family and I also have her death record for 1844 Newington stating Widow of William Bleach labourer and Edwards wife Hannah was present at the death.

I am really having problems trying to locate his marriage to Mary and birth/baptism records for both William and Mary.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
