Hello.  I have someone who was born on 16 May 1918 in Enniskillen Workhouse.  I have a record of her birth but wonder if I am able to apply for a Certificate to show for Legal purposes.  The lady is deceased and her name was Rachel McNamee.  She was born illegitimate.   I am also trying to find out about her sister who was born in 1915 also illegitimate and the mother.  Both were named Agnes.  I will have to go back and check roughly how old the mother was.  Apparently the mother was RC.

Good afternoon,

I am researching the Greer Family who lived in Dundrum at least in 1901 and onwards up until possibly around 1944/45.

Hello, I am trying to find out when my Great Grandfather James Browne was born if possible?  He was baptised on 16 June 1855.
Parish Variants   Cannavee, Kibonane, Kilbonane, Kilmurry, Moviddy, Kilbonane and Cannavee, Moviddy
Diocese   Cork and Ross

His parents were James Browne and Ellen Swiney.  My GG is given as being illegitimate on his Baptism record.

PLEASE NOTE THAT HIS SURNAME COULD BE SPELT EITHER WITH THE E ON THE END OR WITHOUT. 

I do have other records for him but am desperately trying to find out when he was born.   It would have been under a Roman Catholic Birth.

His Death is under this film number if that is any help as I'm not to sure if the death certificate would give his exact birth date.
FHL Film Number   101739

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Kathryn

Not sure if this is the right board, if not kindly point me to the correct one.

I have an Ancestor who was a Sergeant in the 4th/60th Rifles.  He was in India from around I believe 1870 and was back in England in by 1901.   He married twice whilst in India his first wife passing through child birth in 1880.   Am wondering if anyone can tell me please where I might find his army record.   His name was Arthur Clark (sometimes spelt with an e on the end).  Born 1846 in Chelmsford, Essex.   Arthur is shown on his first wife's death notice in 1880 as being a Sergeant in the 4th/60th Rifles and also shown on his marriage cert to his second wife in 1881 as a Sergeant in the 4th/60th Rifles.  As above, he is back in England in 1901, shown in the Census of that year but not actually sure what year he returned to England.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Hello, I have posted this message on the Hampshire board but someone has informed me that it might belong to this Surrey Board.

Hi, not sure if anyone can help please?  In 1965 I was sent to a home run by nuns in and (if my memory serves me well) it was in Churt, Hampshire.  You know how you have flash backs, well I remember being treated abominably by the nuns there especially when giving birth.  I had my child with me, a boy, for about six weeks when my mother came to pick me up and take me by taxi to Southwark, London, where my son was handed over to his adoptive parents.  Am wondering if anyone can name this place where I had my son please?  I had heard some years ago that the building was converted into flats.  I remember it being down a long, narrow, leafy lane and the grounds were extensive.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Kathryn
