Hello,

I'm looking for parents of the Deane-Simmons family - namely, Cyril Deane-Simmons born 1888, Milton, Berkshire (according to 1901 census).

GRO index suggests mother was ___ Goodall.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I am researching a Crotty family who lived around Killashandra, Cavan.

I have information on the marriage of Thomas Crotty and Rose Ann Duignan, 24 Feb 1870, Killeshandra.

And their children: William 1871, Kate/Catharine 1873, John 1875, Thomas 1877 and James 1881.

But am looking for birth/baptism and burial/death for Thomas Crotty, their father and his father William Crotty.

I am also hoping to find who Thomas Crotty's mother was and names of any of his siblings.

I hope someone can help. Thank you.

Hi,

My great grandfather has been one of my two brickwalls for the past 5 years.
I hate to think how many hours I've spent trying to find something useful on this man.

Can somebody please help me? Possibly a lookup for Whitechapel baptisms might help.

I have a few records for him:
1911 census
John William Young
Born abt. 1880, Whitechapel
Occupation: Asylum attendant
Family: Wife and two children.

Marriage certificate
6 Apr 1907, Kensington.
Male nurse
Born abt. 1880
Father: John William Young, Wood Turner
One of the witnesses is a Florence Young

Second marriage
To Louisa Mary Kyte on 14 Oct 1939, Minehead, Somerset.
Male Nurse.
Father: John William Young, Carpenter, Deceased.

Death
07 Jan 1967, Deermoss Hospital, Whitchurch, Shropshire

Can somebody lookup Whitechapel baptisms for 1880 to find him, and perhaps verify with Florence Young, maybe she is his sister/mother?

I have been unable to find him on 1891 census, 1901 census and the 1939 register.
I have been told that he may have been a nurse abroad for the Bulgarian Royal Family after his wife Emily Mabel Hills died in 1933 but I am most interested in who his parents and siblings were. If anyone can help, I'll be very grateful. Even if somebody could suggest another place to look. I might try Claybury Asylum records as they lived in Woodford Bridge when he was an asylum attendant.

As many of you might know, many medal rolls have been published on A**** recently.

Many of the Boer War rolls have a remark that seems to be 'To a Res in S.A'.
Please could somebody tell me what this means.

Hello,

I visited the NA at Kew recently to find my g-grandfather's service record. He (James Burns/Byrnes) was born in Cork, Ireland or Pembrokeshire, Wales abt. 1864-7.
I believe that he was in the Cameron Highlanders sometime before 1899; I know he was awarded medals.

I spent much time searching but was then told by a member of staff that not all service records survived. Does anyone know what percentage are estimated to have survived?

How likely is it that I could find him on a medal roll? 
Are there any other ways of finding him on army records?


I really hope someone can help. I am desperate to learn more about his military history.

James
