England / When did widower John Middleton remarry after wife's murder.
« on: Sunday 12 July 15 03:10 BST (UK)  »
John Middleton's wife Alice Hilda Middleton nee Durrant (my 2xgreatUncle's daughter) was murdered my Cecil Maltby in 1922 (official record has 1923 when her body was found). Finding a great deal of information on this I wanted to fellow John's progress after her murder. He died in 1943 and buried Southend-on-sea (Sutton Road). He had a career in the Merchant Navy and married a Gertrude Kathe. I can't find when/where they married not helped by not knowing Gertrude's maiden name. Any possible matches end as they all have my John Middleton with a middle named which this John did not have.
Any fellow ups would be appreciated.

The Common Room / Uk Wills online has anyone ordered any?
« on: Monday 29 December 14 06:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone
I ordered two Wills back on the 15 Dec.  I got an email on  the 27 Dec saying my order has been delivered. I logged onto the site and in My Wills-2 items show and the details are what I ordered so I thought great.
However I can't work out how to download them Or do I have to wait for them to do something else. Their Help page says nothing about how to download.  ???
Help :)

Thanks Tracey

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Age suggestions for lady in ambrotype image
« on: Sunday 07 September 14 04:26 BST (UK)  »
Hello all
I am trying to work out who this ancestor could be. I only have the glass part of the photo, no case or backing. I assume that it came out to New Zealand with one of my ancestors from England, of which if so would be 1874 or 1875. I think she looks in or 40s or 50s, however someone may be able to get closer to the mark.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards Tracey

New Zealand Completed Requests / 1905 drowning of Charles McDonald COMPLETED
« on: Saturday 15 March 14 02:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
2xgreat Uncle Charles Christopher McDonald drowned in Island Bay, Wellington 29 Oct 1905. I have newspaper reports, funeral notices and have visited his gravestone, however, when I went to located his death certificate I only came up with a Charles Somerville McDonald, the same year and same age at Charles. Question I have is does there need to be a body for a NZ Death Cert to be issued. I have been unable to locate any reports that Charles's body was ever recovered.
Much appreciated

New Zealand Completed Requests / Where to find picture of A.R.Durrant's horse Sinapis winner of 1913 NZ Cup
« on: Thursday 17 October 13 03:35 BST (UK)  »
My Great Uncle Albert Rowland Durrant owned Sinapis, winner of the 1913 NZ Galloping Cup in Christchurch. This year is the 100th anniversary of that win. I would love to locate a picture of Sinapis and perhaps Albert. He died of influenza in 1918 after visiting the races in Christchurch.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Regards Tracey

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Photo for dating please
« on: Sunday 22 July 12 04:17 BST (UK)  »
Any ideas on a date for this photo. Could be one of two Great Aunts, birthdates 1879 & 1880 of course depending on the date! Also the fact it was taken in Belfast is a mystery. I have no connections to Ireland for this side of the family.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / COMPLETED Photo dating
« on: Sunday 21 August 11 03:36 BST (UK)  »
I have a rather batted photo: paper on cardboard. From the back of the card I know it is an ancestor but not sure if Dowsett (from Kilsby/Longbuckby, Northamptonshire) or Durrant (from Mayfield, Sussex). Not sure how how it came out to New Zealand.
Any ideas would be appreciated.  :)
Thank You
