I wonder if someone could point me in the direction of where somebody would be buried in Blackpool in 1982?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm transcribing and translating a will and have come across a phrase that may well be the breakthrough I need. The will is from 1604 and I need to decipher a parish name, the parish is likely to be in Yorkshire.

The image below shows the phrase "the parish of XXXXXXX where I was born" and the next image shows a larger part of the will that mentions the parish a number of times.

Any ideas?

I wonder if someone could answer a basic question please?

How do I go about finding a marriage record in Germany (possibly Hamburg) between 1851 and 1854?

The parties involved were both English, the chap was marrying his deceased wife's sister which was illegal in England at the time.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm attempting to write up a history of my house and one of the first people to live there was Horatio Lace.

Horatio was born in Malew, Isle of Man in 1857 the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Lace. I have found 8 siblings of his; Joseph, Elizabeth, Frances, Edwin, Emily, Frederik, Gemma and another Emily.

Horatio is shown on the 1871 census, aged 14, in Patrick with his family. On the 1881 he is living in York.

I'm finding out about Horatio's time in York, where he worked for the railway, but I'd like to find out a bit about how and why he came to York from the Isle of Man.

If anyone has any information regarding the family and can fill in the missing bits would they please get in touch.

Thanks
Paul
