World War Two / Please help with this record
« on: Saturday 26 October 19 11:44 BST (UK)  »
My friend has just given me a copy of her father's army service document.
I do not understand it at all. 
Any help with why his record was changed - or indeed any other information would be grateful. 
I absolutely have no clue.

Kent / Frederick Culliford Marriage?
« on: Tuesday 21 November 17 14:14 GMT (UK)  »
This is not a brick wall - it is made of steel! I am revisiting my 2x great grandfather Frederick Culliford who was born in 1814 in Walcot Bath. There are several posts on here about him and his wife.  I have never found a marriage for a him to my 2x great grandmother Eliza Roberts who first child (Frederick) was born in 1851. I think I may have found the reason. There is a possibility he may have already been married. Recently, while looking for his military records I came across a record that implies a Frederick Culliford married in Charlton Kent in 1840. It states that Frederick Culliford married Fanny on 16/10/1840. It could possibly be him so have been looking for this marriage, but cannot find it. I have never found him on the 1841 census either (he is probably away at sea)– but surely I should be able to find this Fanny in 1841– but no! Can you help?

Family History Programs, Tree Organisation, Presentation / Free Gedcom Reader?
« on: Friday 21 April 17 16:29 BST (UK)  »
I have a new laptop running Windows 10.  I also have a very ancient version of Family Tree Maker - so old it is practically antique - but it was ok on my old (now dead) pc running XP.  I don't really want to buy new software, so can anyone recommend a free program that I can download.  It doesn't have to be fancy - I just want it to do the job.  Thanks

In 1939, they were living in Oakdale Road Wallasey Cheshire.

Technical Help / Broadband connected, but cannot access internet
« on: Thursday 03 December 15 16:44 GMT (UK)  »
My broadband is running ok and my tablet and phone can connect, but my pc is having problems.  Emails and virus scan updates are coming through, but for some reason I am unable to connect to the Internet.  Everything was fine yesterday, but not now.
I have run the virus scan and malwarebytes, but found nothing. I tried to do a system restore to an earlier date, but it would not restore  ??? ! My normal browser is Chrome and I am still running Windows XP. I have tried looking at the Internet connections box, but don't really know what I am looking for.  Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received.  Thanks.

Worcestershire / Evesham Workhouse
« on: Tuesday 31 March 15 14:35 BST (UK)  »
I have discovered some of my family in Great & Little Hampton Union Workhouse (Evesham) in 1851.  From the death of my 3x great grandmother, I know she died in the workhouse in 1846 in childbirth.  Some of her children remained there after her death - the youngest dying in 1856 in the same place.
I have looked at Peter Higginbotham's Workhouse site and wondered whether anyone knows whether any other records for this workhouse still exist - especially around the time my lot were there?

Midlothian / Inglis Green Road Laundry Slateford
« on: Monday 10 November 14 10:43 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find out what sort of place this laundry was during the lead up to WW1.  I have discovered one of my ancestors worked there in 1917. I have googled, but found very little.  Was it linked to any kind of workhouse?  Any info gratefully received.
