From the family bible I have details of a marriage between THOMAS SIMS and SARAH OLIVER 21st January 1805

I wondered if anyone is able to find the details of the marriage or the band's ?
I have looked on familiarity.org but cannot find anything.

I am hoping it will name the bride's father as I am unable to trace Sarah Oliver,s family

Essex / finding history of 15th century property in Peldon
« on: Wednesday 10 April 13 13:55 BST (UK)  »
Hello Everyone,
my son has just bought a farm house built in the 1400's in Peldon and as a surprise for him I thought I would try to find out some of the history of the property.

As I do not know who owned the property I did an address search on the 1911 and the 1901 census but I cannot find it. Now I do not know what to do , I have been brought to a standstill before I have even got started !

Has anyone any ideas of how I can get started please ?
regards Kath

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to find out which regiment my father in law was in in WW2.He lived in the London area so I am assuming it was a London regiment.
He was first in the territorial army and I believe the attached photo is of him during that time.
I wonder if anyone can help me to identify the cap badge please ?
Thank you

Armed Forces / Mystery Indian POW handmade cigarette case
« on: Wednesday 11 April 12 19:39 BST (UK)  »
I have come across a handmade wartime cigarette and matchbox case from the Prisoner of War Camp at Kirklee, India. It is a unique creation with hand carvings of birds,  circles, stars and moon etc. Looks like aluminium and carries the name of PERKINS - Prisoners of War, Kirlee, India.

Does anyone know when this may have been made, i.e. WW1 or WW2? And does the name of Perkins mean anything to anyone? Was he a prisoner or soldier at the camp. No dates shown.

New Zealand Completed Requests / advice please - Thornton family history/Mary Gray chocolates
« on: Wednesday 12 October 11 12:45 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,
this is a tall order but here goes.
I have recently found that one of my ancestors formed a hand made chocolate business in 1949 in New Zealand. It is still trading today and I contacted them to see if they could tell me anything about the history of the company but it has recently sold out of the Thornton family and its new owner has no details of its history other than it was started in 1949 by a BERTHA THORNTON and  MAY WHITE.

Does anyone know of how I may be able to find out more about the history of the company ?
Is there a family history society in Christchurch I can contact ?
Any other suggestions ?
Thank you
Kath
